RR's Monday's Press Conference Notes

  • ND is a long standing rivalry, last year was an exciting game. 
  • Played poorly last time down there and it always seems to rain when he is there.
  • Known Brian for a few years but only played him once when they were both in the Big East.
  • Have to protect the ball against ND.
  • 25-26 guys are making their first road trip.
  • Will pipe in music this week to get them ready for the ND crowd noise.
  • Here is the week 2 depth chart.  Carvin Johnson and Roy Roundtree are doubtful.  Fitz and Junior are still questionable for ND and walk on Jared Van Slyke is out for the year.

  • Pleased with Denard and he graded out highly during the game.
  • Need to block better on offense in the 2nd and 3rd levels
  • Defense lost contain a couple of times
  • Special Teams were below average. 
  • Some of the missed kicks were due to a holding issue. 
  • The coaches limited the pass packages due to the wind on Saturday.
  • RR was worried about the wind since they hadn't really practiced in those conditions.
