I was able to catch a minute of the Monday Night game after getting back from a long weekend in Chicago, and woah! Lookout! Welcome back to the real world, Danny. Here's your knee to the balls.
It's a pretty good penalty when you get the whole Monday Night crew going "woah!" in unison.
I found an interesting article via Ndnation. It talks about what a team has to do in order to establish themselves as a running team, and how much preparation (i.e. drafting an O-Line that loves to run block) it requires. The article is written about the Patriots, so I've been trying to apply it to the current Charlie Weis team. Obviously there are big differences between College and the Pros, the biggest being that college kids graduate (or at least they do at ND), so keeping a great O-Line together isn't possible. Looking at the college landscape, I notice there aren't as many dominant running teams as there were even 10 years ago. Look at the top 10. Pick out a running team. Who ya got? West Virginina. Come on. Theren't any dominant running teams in college anymore. What happened? Remember Ricky Williams and Ron Dayne? How about the Husker teams of the 90's. When was the last time the Irish had a running game? Where did those great Holtzian days go?
I don't know what I should pay more attention to: the fact that the secondary coaches at Texas are pretty frickin good, or that Brunell is making the same mistakes that a college qb would. Personally I find the Roy Williams play more impressive because of the amount of ground he has to cover.
Wouldn't it be great if ND had that kind of safety play against Michigan?
