Defending the Option: Who Takes Over for Te’o?

October 24, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

Before the Irish started their 2012 season against Navy, I had a detailed post describing how Bob Diaco runs Notre Dame's defense against an option attack. In short, Diaco throws the 3-4 away for such games and switches to a more traditional 4-3 look. The catch though, was that Diaco had another wrinkle in the assignment football that you usually see in the option: Manti Te'o. To refresh, here's how ND started to assign players to defend the option after the 2010 disaster in the ...

Friday Roundup: The “Running with the Devils” Edition

October 4, 2013 by Ryan Ritter

Let's face it, when Notre Dame faces off against the Arizona State Sun Devils in their full hellfire attire, the Irish will be facing off against one of the best offenses that they will see in all of 2013. As Bayou discussed yesterday, they have put on quite a show throughout most of their season. And I'm going to give the Sun Devils a load of credit here, they've looked pretty damn good doing it too for the most part. And with Arizona State favored by 6 at the time of this writing, it's ...

Tuitt ND’s Newest Road Runner

September 5, 2012 by Twibby

Despite the departure of Aaron Lynch and some depth issues, Notre Dame’s defensive line was expected to be one of the team’s strongest position groups in 2012. While the Irish will not face personnel and option plays similar to Navy’s the rest of the season, it is hard not to be very pleased with the performance of Kapron Lewis-Moore, Louis Nix, Kona Schwenke, Stephon Tuitt and the rest of the D-line after shutting down the Midshipmen in Dublin. Outside of Tuitt’s touchdown (we’ll get to that ...

Notre Dame 3-4 Defense Primer

August 22, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

Here at HLS, I have broken down game film and done in-depth analysis of the Notre Dame offense under Brian Kelly; however, I have yet to show similar love to the defense. Bob Diaco (and his flowing locks), has taken the schizophrenic Irish defense from the Weis era (seriously, three defensive coordinators in five years) and molded it into a true 3-4 anchored by a front seven that is a wrecking machine. While it would be impossible to describe Diaco's entire scheme or the intricacies of the ...
