Pretty good breakdown of CJ vs nd
Stroud has the physical talent, and has grown a lot up stairs too, i still wonder what happens when you really take away his fast ball (first read) will he still struggle in his progressions(i realize one of his plays he did that but the next read was right there). He’s not about to get challenged again til maybe Iowa, then the usual big east gauntlet may provide more data, also not having the security blanket in smith may have made things a bit hairy for him early on, while he’s on the mend and the schedule kind of light, he will get some chemistry with the other guys
I don’t think nd had the horses to push them, what i did see was nd was getting to the qb with there four man line.
I also noticed day finally spammed the run game late because of the struggle to get the offense moving, and that defense kicked up a notch ( mind you i couldn’t tell you the first nd standout offensive player)
