Anything from PFF like this needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt. Mike Florio's editorial bias shows a lot and he's a fuckin dunce.

If Day and Kelly keep the looks for ND simple and try to have Will just beat them from the pocket, I think there could be problems. If they come out with pre-snap motion, misdirection, bunch formations, and quick throw RPOs and screens mixed in with in the pocket play action shots, I think the offense will roll. There's still enough scar tissue for me that "how much do I trust the coaches to keep the team loose and make ND adjust to them rather than the other way around?" is the main source of lingering anxiety.It seems like maybe people are taking this idea that we will instantly carve up any man defense a little too far to me.
They are going to bring serious pressure with that man defense and Will Howard is going to be put under duress.
He's been prone to mistakes, to be gentle about it.
The more I think about it, the more I think this game comes down to which defense affects the opposing QB the most or conversely, which QB plays his game the best.
He’s actually been really good against pressure so please I hope they do. Their defensive line isn’t a top 4 that we’ve played this year. While their secondary is probably right up there with Texas they are missing their best corner.It seems like maybe people are taking this idea that we will instantly carve up any man defense a little too far to me.

Out of the teams that OSU has played in the CFP, where would you rank ND? I don't think they're better than any of the previous 3 teams or scUM. And they've been pretty weak in the run game. Utilizing Judkins to beat the DL between the tackles and then Treveyon to change the pace and possibly break a HR is very feasible. And then that should set up the passing game, and that's where the mismatches will show up in the play action game, IMOIt seems like maybe people are taking this idea that we will instantly carve up any man defense a little too far to me.

It's too obvious OSU should beat the Domers by 80.Yeah I hear you, maybe for the BMW thread but on paper I agree, I don't see a big threat. Then I remember a 20+ point underdog with no good players in the secondary, an imbecile at QB and no WR's back in November that found a way to suck OSU down into a rock fight and get Howard to give them 2 turnovers.
I do not posses the DNA nor the life experience that allows me to be overly confident here.
