The availability of Love is brobdingnagian in this game, obviously.  From what i have seen, he is probably the best all around back in CFB, at least top 3.

Quick summary, if you have any speedy defensive ends, line the up against our LT and rush hard and fast, if he can get his hands on you in a pass block, hes pretty good, but he is sloooooooooowwww in pass rush.  The right side is pretty solid in pass blocking, but is still coming along in run blocking.  The receivers seem to have talent, but outside of claypool, have lacked any determination to catch the ball.  They wont lay out, reach for them and won't fight to get open.  Wimbush's numbers have been far from explosive, but i bet there are 3-4 drops a game for brobdingnagian games.

Defense is solid, but look for the middle of the field to be open.  They have to drop back to help out poor safety play and the MLB, morgan, is a great athlete, but lacks the football IQ to be great. 

Obviously ND has lived and died on its run game.  Adams is a hard and smart runner.  He has been banged up and held in check the last couple weeks.  Not really sure where the mindset of this team is at right now.  3 weeks ago, i would have said this is a W, now not as sure.  Stanford always comes ready to go against ND. 

How are things on your guys side?  weather looking good?

is there an app for this forum?

Thanks and good luck.
