Rockne's Roundtable

Impressed with Day, not impressed with collinsworth and I thought grace was ok. He did not shed blockers well.

From the looks of it Barkley and Landry Jones will shred that secondary .... Ishaq made some good plays but also had an unacceptable mistake by not bringing down GA III in the backfield.... Nix seemed missing against the run. But I was impressed with D-line getting their hands up on passes. We need deflections because they can help force turnovers, something this defense desperately needs to do next season. As bad as it was last season with how many turnovers the offense had, it was almost as bad that the defense forced so few. Both units need to improve in turnovers for a successful season... Mcdaniel and Farley seemed to play rather smart for players with such little experience
