At this point, this plus Fuller is what worries me about this game. We've already seen what happens when a mobile QB who is hard to bring down and can throw accurately on the run plays against this defense, and it's not pretty (well, if you're a Stanford fan anyway). The upside, I think, is that Oregon's receivers are better as a whole than ND's. Fuller is probably the best on either team, but Oregon is deep and ND doesn't seem to be. Also, if ND is without Procise, Oregon's running threat is more potent, so we don't need to commit quite as much to the run, especially on passing downs.

Still, that worries me. We haven't been great at bringing down QBs this year and it's already bitten us once, I wouldn't be shocked to see it happen again.

Fuller is a very good receiver, i wouldn't put him nearly as dangerous as McCaffrey, but you do have to account for him, but like i said before, his upper body strength is his biggest weakness. I would love to say you need to also be concerned about corey robinson, but that kid has vanished this year... Outside of fuller, there is about 3 guys who could play on a lot of teams, but dont see them as NFL guys.  But there is a lot of speed there, i think ND is as deep as Orgeon, but with Fuller there, they don't get the recognition.  Overall, from a skill position, i think this is the faster ND team i have ever seen.  which isn't saying as much given how slow some of ND's teams have been in the past.

Kizer makes such a nice one step move to avoid sacks, and i swear he has eyes in the back of his head, there have been so many times i have been screaming at him to move bc there is someone coming at him from behind and he just gets rid of it at the last second.  I think he loves to run, but he takes a lot of big hits doing so.  I am hoping he can open up a lot of other options in the game.
