Here's to the Irish taking care of business again today. It shouldn't be a 49-10 deal (we're favored by about 2 TDs), but a nice 31-13 "safe" win would be nice.
Things we need to work on today to get ready for the next several games:
Long snap/catch/hold/kick: We flubbed two extra points last week. Mistakes like this just can not happen if we're going to compete with the likes of UM, OU and SC down the line.
Pass defense: Purdue threw the ball 47 times (!) last week for over 370 yards. Methinks our CBs and Safeties are going to get a work-out. Let's get a pass rush and hopefully that will help. Last week Navy mostly threw quick passes that prevented the pass rush from being a factor. I didn't see any of Purdue's game last week, but I'm guessing they'll be more of a drop back team. So our D-line can have an impact to try to keep some of the pressure off our green secondary.
Inserting Golson into the Running attack: Godfather noted that EG wasn't really part of the running scheme last week. Of course, he didn't need to be. So this can be a new wrinkle that gets rolled out. This could really give the team a triumvirate of difference makers carrying the ball.
I think three things is enough this week!
Again, I say IRISH 31, Boilers 13.
GO IRISH!!!! BEAT BOILERMAKERS!!!!
