Special Package

  • In an interview, and according to @MattFortunaND, Kelly mentioned employing a special package on Saturday when asked about Golston/Hendrix. He didn't say who it would be, but it looks like if the game is going correctly, Kelly will insert one of those two...or maybe get Riddick involved in the Lepracat?

    I cannot fathom that it would be Golston, but then again what do I know?

  • Yep, Golson played scout team QB this week, so I would doubt we see him or any special QB option package this week.

    That is being saved as a present for USC.

    My luck w/the Irish 18-6...GO IRISH!!!

    I'm wondering how smart it would be to bring a QB with no game play experience into a game against USC? If Kelly has plans to implement that package he will do it against a lesser team to see how it goes and get Hendrix exposed to playing real time! Throwing caution to the wind isn't Kelly's M.O.

  • Have you guys seen USC's defense? They are a lesser opponent that doesn't rank in the top 65 nationally in total defense!

    I'd rather save it and not show it this week. USC plays @Cal next Thursday night, so they will have a few extra days to prepare for us anyway. It kind of negates our bye week advantage.

    My luck w/the Irish 18-6...GO IRISH!!!

  • I like the idea of saving the "special package" as a "present" for USC.

    And USC is beatable this year. But so was USF and Mich.

    And Air Force is probably being told that about the Irish -- that we are beatable.

    Won't happen for them this week though.

    Go Irish!

    If we dont turn the ball over against USF and MICH, we beat both of them running away.
    We are beatable...if we beat ourselves and turn over the ball. Otherwise, we will own them.

  • was just on the phone with norberg talking about this subject.

    At this point I don't know that I would blow a year for Golson unless he is going to see action on a regular basis. Right now he is running the scout team everyday against on of the better defenses in the country. Having to face the Fighting Irish defense everyday will develop him fine and no team in the country will see it. That gives you 4 years for Golson while getting 5 years for him at ND. One of which is simply allows him to mature physically in ND's strength and conditioning program. Which will go along way for him when he does get on the field.

    What makes more sense is to allow Hendrix to get some game time. He has already red shirted.

  • I'm excited about this "package" regardless of who runs it. Just wondering why it wasn't launched when we had the Purdue game well in hand? AF is no push over...

  • Not sure I see the advantage of giving a QB his first snaps ever in an option package tomorrow against a defense that practices against perhaps the best spread option offense every single day?
