We were fortunate enough this week to be joined by Pat Sullivan over at One Foot Down, the excellent Notre Dame blog. He had some very impressive in-depth answers that should educate Wake Forest fans for the game tomorrow. Check out their website for a lot of good stuff as well on the game.
Let’s see what he had to say about the impending Wake Forest-Notre Dame game:
1) What's been the biggest difference between this year's squad and last year's honestly disappointing year for the Irish
The identity of the team has completely changed, thanks to the three biggest hires Brian Kelly has ever made: offensive coordinator Chip Long, defensive coordinator Mike Elko, and strength coach Matt Balis
Long has taken the personnel that Notre Dame has had for a few years (huge, athletic, elite offensive line + stable of capable running backs + super mobile quarterback) and actually used them the correct way, pounding it down opponents' throats and wearing teams down as games go on.
