Luke Schmidt possibilities

With Asaph Schwapp staying at ND for three more years if he redshirts, here are some possible roles Irish running back Luke Schmidt could play in.









Here are a couple formations from last season that Schmidt and Schwapp could have playing time in:

Goal line
Here, Schmidt could play as an H-back, and Schwapp could be the fullback. "The ultimate goal line formation"

















Two tight e
nds
Here is another formation, with the same format as goal line, except with a wide receiver. This could be used when in the redzone, or if we ever are back in our own territory and need to get upfield.












Schmidt could also play a role in this formation:























The goal line formation worked very well for the Irish last year, as you can see here...




















and here...



































Unfortunately, last year, Rashon Powers-Neal was arrested sometime of the week after the Purdue for a DUI, and was suspended for the rest of the season. Hopefully this won't happen again with any of our players.

Luke Schmidt should be a great running back and I can't wait to see him play a major role in the next couple of years. With Schwapp, Reuland, Yeatman, Ragone, and all of the O-line blocking for him in the next few years, look for him to be a monster in the redzone.

We will beat LSU

By Sir John

A strange thing happened to this fan after our last loss in the regular season. I became negative, pointed some fingers, bitched and sulked. I sit in an armchair and never get smacked by a 245 pound linebacker.

"Whadda I know?" as coach Weis says about the experts at Scout, Rivals, on recruiting and offering views of analysis. If you read The New Gold Standard by Tim Prister, in the introduction by Lou Holtz on page 79, he calls those 'experts' guys who are "mailmen, cops, or insurance agents by day" Meaning their opinion is as good as yours, it still is America.

Toss in a few has been players and over the hill old coaches giving commentary and that's what ya get 2006. The games evolved since the donned a uniform and they sure are not in the game are they?

They are watching on TV like you and I. Seems to me these jocks resent a kid sitting at home or in the stands that never played football to confront them.
HEY! Didn't Charlie Weis sit in the stands, not play football, and sort of leave you guys far, far behind?

That being said we got killed by Ohio State. I don't care about all the bowl losses. Charlie Weis will NOT tolerate another loss. I predict a win.

Merry Christmas everybody


And Hunter would also like to bring the pot of gold to Ron Zook so he can use it for the recruits... Wait no, that's the Illini gold the Zooker wants I think... My bad. (One TV for the living room, the parents' room, the kids' room(s), the bathroom, and outside- all for ND football--I wish)
Merry Christmas!
