This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I mean there are a lot of schools ahead by JBrock18

That’s where ND must get to in order to have a consistently good defense. It starts up front. We simply do not get the horses. Georgia, Clemson, Bama, Auburn, OSU, LSU, PSU, OU, the list isn’t short . They are getting more high end interior DL and pass rushers on the outside. Not only do they get more talent they get more talented depth. These types of players at those positions are key to going in the road and winning against good teams. If you can control the line of scrimmage and cause problems for the opponents offense you can stay in almost any game, regardless of how dumb your offense is or how bad your QB sucks. A dominant defensive line will prevent embarrassments like Miami this year.
