I had initially intended to get this up last week, but real world has rudely intruded. This is Part Two of a two-parter analyzing Tommy Rees’s offensive performance at Notre Dame.
Part One covered his years under Brian Kelly, where we gave Rees some benefit of the doubt — the scheme could have been coming from the Pomegranate Tyrant. But there were several themes that occurred again and again, and many revolved around a propensity to waste downs with poor analytical 2nd and long running plays, as well as turtling up and wasting followup possessions when the offense encountered adversity.
