[ChicagoIrish]

I can't wait. It's been awhile since my expectations were realistically this high.

Less injuries and academic suspensions than normal this offseason. Natty on a platter!

Don't jinx it though! Still have Training Camp to get through

 

[purguy12]

I hate to say it guys but I expect Big things from this team this year. I expect the Oline to be the best, RBs to run wild and one of our QB in the Heisman race and ND in the Playoffs.

Lets Go Irish.

 

[bbirish73]

If the team his healthy going forward; I haven't felt this good about a season ever. It is the perfect storm for ND to go undefeated. The top teams we face don't have a proven quarterback while the other good teams we get at home IE Stanford and Miami.

I am actually looking forward to it on Sunday night. Great way to end the weekend and start the week happy with an Irish win!!

Health is the key. Defense needs to play good this yr and get off the field. Offense should role this yr. Expecting a much better, nastier OL...

I agree, Health is always #1. We been hit hard the last couple of years with injuries. Kelly somewhat mention no more excuses for the D. This is VG last shot to get it right. D needs to be solid. Doesnt have to be great just Solid because the offense will score a lot of points.

I think Im getting a little nervous about is the WRs. I feel like we dont have that go to guy and Im not hearing great things about the WRs. Im hearing a lot of drops and every other day its some one else having a good day. Man I wish we had fuller for 1 more year.

Unfortunately Pur your go to guy got suspended in Jones....This kid was such a match-up problem across the board!! Guys are going to have to step up. I think the running game will be much better and Hunter is going to have to be a leader. This team always has a talent at WR, we just have to find the next Floyd, Fuller....

 

[purguy12]

Yeah we will find out soon. This team wont have trouble scoring but like I said my main concern is that go to guy when we need a catch or a TD who will we go to and can they come up clutch.

Its going to be a good year running the ball. that should open up the passing game for us.

 

[ericd7633]

Looking forward to a good season. I think anything less than 9 wins would be a huge disappointment.

 

[bbirish73]

I'm not worried about the wide receivers at all. Remember two years ago we didn't have any proven receivers since Daniels got suspended. Then a guy by the name of Will Fuller stepped in and the rest was history. We got a lot of talent at the position. I don't see 75 yard touchdown bombs but I do see someone open every play to get the sticks moving.

 

[bbirish73]

If I was Kelly I would do a lot of jumbo formations like Stanford does. Bring in an extra lineman to block instead of tight end and pound the ball into submission.

LB's also scare me. I hope Morgan is ready and hope he stays healthy. Also please let some one become a pass rusher.

 

[CreepCreep2014]

If BK decides to use his TE this yr, it will make the WR job much easier. The loss of Jones is pretty huge in my mind. Don't have to toss it 80 yards for a TD, take what you get and move the ball.

Im thinking at least 10. Anything less then that is a bad season.

 

[jjc2009]

At least 10 and FINALLY a NYD quality bowl WIN, if not the playoffs.

BK hasn't really had back to back good seasons, but thankfully hasn't fallen below 8 wins either. But the jump from good to great has to happen if they want to draw more talent.
