Offensive coordinator Chip Long must be quite confused when it comes to the happiness of the Notre Dame fan base. You’d think in a game where the Irish ran for over 300 yards, averaged 6.2 yards per carry, and had a 60/40 run pass ratio–in a victory!–folks would be lining the streets to cheer him on his way home. That’s not what happened though, because scoreless first quarters are not ok and for that he is a bum. Such is life as the offensive coordinator.
In seriousness, it was an interesting start, where it was tough to tell what exactly they were trying to get accomplished.
