After 1 game. Name the 3 things you want to see the most improvement out for game two.

[Irishblooded]

With ND I did some soul searching. And I think if they can just improve just 3 things. They will be in pretty good shape to beat New Mexico in two weeks.

1. Offense
2. Defense
3. Coaching


All the aspects of the game I think are pretty good. They all put their helmets on before going on the field, and special teams didn't seem bad (which as small as that sounds is a shocker for most ND fans). But really just work on those 3 points above and we should be favored against Bob Davie's fighting Lobos

 

[CouchOnFire]

O-Line must improve
Enthusiasm, we need to play like we're alive.
LB's 'staying at home'

We get that shored up, we'll get to 6 or 7 wins. If not, 3-4 is the ceiling.

Not really sure.... LSU gulped a cupcake so it may be misleading.... the backup QB could use some better timing I suppose....

OL picking up stunts better. Vandy got to Fromm a few times with some stunts.
More reps for the WR. We're replacing a lot at that position so would like the newer guys to get more balls thrown their way early.
Fewer penalties. Not sure Vandy crosses the 50 Saturday if we dont have some big penalties.

For those that missed it, which probably means all of you, it sure would be nice if we wouldn’t put two guys out there with the same number jersey.

Opening kickoff we return it deep into Fresno territory. But wait, two #7’s on the field at the same time for our team results in a penalty.

I guess that falls under the coaching category?. Throw in offense and defense and we are neck and neck with you.

Finally, are all the numbers taken up causing us to have two #7’s?

The double number thing gets me all the time.... especially when it's a stars number playing on kick returns.....

1. Run Blocking. Bama may have one of the top QB's in the nation, but the way our running game was against Duke was unacceptable.
2. Pass protection. Tua had to scramble way too much. He did it well, and made them pay, but he needs more time in the pocket.
3. FG kicking. Again. Please. I'm begging.
3a: penalties.

Defense (which will be rectified when some injured guys come back to the lineup)

Front 4 penetration on Defense

You're a B12 team... what in the hell do you know about defense?

 

[Tenn"cock]

1. Tackling - we were terrible against the run and too often the first contact did not result in a tackle/stop.
2. O Line - especially run blocking
3. QB play - With a senior QB I just expect better decision making and consistant performance.

Might want to change 3 to a QB... Yours is out 6 weeks or so at least.

Please see above! LOL!
All kidding aside, You're defense is vastly improved from the playoff game last year. Houston historically has a good to great offense and you did a good job of holding them at bay. Lots of room for improvement, but not bad at all.

[txTIGER1963]

qb needs to get tuned up, especially the timing with recievers
lines need to gel
was uncomfortable with the amount of pre snap confusion on d line

 

[LSUdude]

Showing mercy. They're going to blow everyone out.....just based on Ga Southern.
