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 ends
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.
