Our inability to execute on the passing game last year helped kill the running game. There’s a decent argument to focus on it more. But it also plays into Kelly’s passing proclivity. I actually think ND will have hard receivers to defend. Boykin, Claypool, KMet and Mack are big kids who are playing well. Young is our best speed threat. But it’s also likely that Kelly will see the passing game as the answer to everything.

“The reason that the safety doesn’t care about the screen is because Notre Dame never gave him a reason to. Wimbush struggled to get the ball to the perimeter accurately and quickly pretty much all season outside of the Michigan State game. That allowed the safety to sell out for the run.”
