Is peppers being held out? Hasn't been out there in a few series, looked like he was hobbling

I noticed that as well but hen he came out for a series and then the last series I didn't see him so I'm not sure what's going on.
August 30th, 2014 at 1:46 PM ^
Sure seems like it. They took him off PR. Has to be disappointing for such a talented, confident kid. I hope he is healthy and can stone theIrish.
August 30th, 2014 at 1:48 PM ^
He and Ross are flip flopping depending on the package. When we're in 4-3, Ross is on, when we're in Nickel, Peppers is on.
I do think he may have a little boo boo, but he's been on the field except when Ross is on or the drive when we went with the 2's.
I think because he's playing so many snaps they're going with Norfleet as the returner right now. App St. is forcing us to play so much Nickel. Which is funny, because people keep asking where Ross is. Well, they can't all play!
August 30th, 2014 at 1:39 PM ^
Defense looking good ..have they even completed a pass ???
August 30th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
5/14 for 11 yds
August 30th, 2014 at 1:54 PM ^
I don't remember 5 completions that's pretty awesome
August 30th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
Defense looks great, Funchise looks great too. Loved that TD over the top.
August 30th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
Looks like they are going to have a loooong year...
August 30th, 2014 at 1:40 PM ^
Can I be disappointed App St has 4.5 yards per rush? I believe I will be.
August 30th, 2014 at 1:42 PM ^
Not good on that part
August 30th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
sometimes on blitzes, luckily ND doesn't run up the middle much.

Promise him Hoke's job when Hoke retires? Money per touchdown or pancake block?
Love the system and improvement.
August 30th, 2014 at 1:46 PM ^
He's yet to prove the MNC wasn't just Saban - he will be there for 2-3 yrs unless a massive HC offer comes through
August 30th, 2014 at 1:57 PM ^
I think that offer might come after one year--he was very close to getting the Washington job last off-season. But if he does leave quickly, it probably means we had a good offense this season, so it's all good.
August 30th, 2014 at 1:44 PM ^
Would love for Peppers to take one to the house....that would complete my day

I want to see that too. Does anyone know why Norfleet is returning punts now? Is Peppers banged up?

He took a cut block to the left leg early in the first quarter, hobbling a little since, might be just a precaution.

August 30th, 2014 at 1:53 PM ^
But he's also playing a TON of snaps on defense because we can't get out of Nickel due to App St.'s personnel
August 30th, 2014 at 1:45 PM ^
The Band's taking a cheap shot at Russia with the Olympic Rings. Love it.

I gotta say, it looks great on him. He wears it well, better than anyone else I've seen in the winged helmet. Yes, even AC. And I loved me some AC.

O line looked great on most of the plays. Good pass blocking and opening up some BIG holes for the backs. Go KALIS!!! Great block on that Smith TD run. Anyone know why App St got to redo that 3rd down play where they took a commercial break with App St having 4th and 6 on their 6 and then getting to redo it only to get sacked on the 3?
August 30th, 2014 at 1:50 PM ^
I noticed that as well but didn't hear why.
August 30th, 2014 at 1:54 PM ^
They took a timeout before the snap.
August 30th, 2014 at 1:55 PM ^
Apparently appy called timeout before the third down speed option that Wormley assassinated.
August 30th, 2014 at 1:48 PM ^
We finally have a feature back I'm Smith. I love the way that kid runs the ball.
August 30th, 2014 at 1:55 PM ^
Green has looked decent as well. He certainly has more speed. Love Smith's power though. Thunder and more thunder. Nice tandem, oh and next year...Ty Isaac.

Defense looking unstoppable. I forgot what it looks like to have a running game. Good start. Hope our second and third stringers can get some quality playing time in the second half.
GO NAVY!!!

257 yrds rushing on 427 attempts? Oh that was last year.
August 30th, 2014 at 2:23 PM ^
I will say this - if my stats are right, we only supassed 200 yards of rushing in a game twice last year, and neither time was it higher than 257 yards. On a more interesting note perhaps, we rushed for 1,569 yards all of last year - in this game, we've made 16% of last years total and counting.
