Before getting into the breakdown of Notre Dame Fighting Irish commit Matt Bauer’s film, I think its important to reveal a benefit he brings beyond film. The 6’3” 208 pound LB from Erie, Pennsylvania is a catalyst and leader on defense. This is what I mean when I label Bauer a “bell cow,” a term Keith Jackson used to interject in his ABC broadcasts regarding the leader of the pack and the guy that the other guys would follow on the field. Coaches attach it to players like Bauer, who rally a group and pretty much fire ‘em up to beat someone’s ass.
