Rockne's Roundtable

Offense: Cave and Eifert
Defense: Motta

Assuming Martin and Nix both return:

Offense: Cave
Defense: KLM(Day will be a stud but KLM is just a big strong 300 lb beast that will be tough to replace as run stopper)

To me this is not even a question.Think about the last time ND did not have to worry about left tackle for 3 years?Zach Martin has stabilized the most important job on the offensive line.I cannot believe he has not received the accolades he well deserves.My high School coach always said 'you know an offensive lineman is great when you don't hear his name 'I think if he were to take another year he will be a sure fire first round pick.Even if he comes out I think he will do the same in the NFL as he did at ND,step into the starting lineup,and for 10 years or so merely be excellent.Please do not think I am dismissing the players named above they have all been great and will be missed.Mr Martin has always been a personal favorite of mine.Finding a dominant left tackle will be the toughest job for the staff..
