Wowza.

Notre Dame's D looks better but their offense looks putrid.

jacksonianmarch · 09-01-2007, 04:14 PM

man this offense sucks. Why would Weis start an option QB when he is all about pocket passers.

See Red · 09-01-2007, 04:39 PM

Eh, the offense looked terrible against GT last year. They'll be fine. Keep in mind that the Georgia Tech defense is extremely good.

I think they started Demetrius Jones for a couple reasons... the fact that Notre Dame didn't name their QB until late made Tech prepare for each of them -- and I think a mobile QB is probably what Weis figured they were least prepared for. Also, Weis probably figured that starting Jones might allow them to exploit GT's speed and aggressiveness. I just started watching but obviously it doesn't look like it's working.

Ugh... fumble. His second of the game?

jacksonianmarch · 09-01-2007, 04:40 PM

this kid at QB is fucking putrid. Demetrious Jones sucks. BRING IN CLAUSSEN

I think playing a true freshman against this defense would have disaster written all over it. Then again, the current arrangement doesn't appear to be working either...

but if your defense is based upon speed and instead of smashmouth football or pocket passing, the offense comes at you with option QB shit, you are essentially playing to their strength. I'd think we could have Claussen throw the ball to the receivers and then smash it up the middle with Thomas or Aldridge.

Not necessarily... if the defense is being aggressive then there's nobody in the second level to stop the QB if he finds a seem up the middle and takes off.

I'd pity any true freshman that has to step in there against this defense. I'd have gone with the Junior QB, personally, though I'm not sure of his name.

edit: It's going to be a long season in South Bend.

either way, this offense is awful

One Red Seat · 09-01-2007, 09:22 PM

Don't punt to Cal's return guy. Ever.

Coco's Disciples · 09-01-2007, 09:28 PM

Yeah, that guy is ridiculous. That return made his career % of TD's when he returns is like 20.
