Video: OSU and ND Spring Game Highlights

ND running backs look fast and solid. but other than that ehh.

Ohio looks like when meyer was in florida for the last year. and their defense looks awful.

Did anyone else get the sense that ND was playing with a lot more intensity than Ohio?  Seemed like they were running faster and hitting harder to me.  Obviously I'm not expecting Ohio to be loafing when the season rolls around but I thought it was interesting.  Also Ohio's secondary looked a lot like ours two years ago.  Lots of space.

The OSU offense seems to be tearing up the defense, which is basically the exact opposite of how it should be. I doubt that Urban has turned them into a juggernaut so quickly, so might they have some questions on defense?

Wow ND's defense looks horrible... The LBs are reading run... and then both run to get eaten by blocks. Not to mention confusion in man coverage by their secondary. Of course, it's just a spring game so it doesn't mean anything, but they need to be wary with that. Whomever #38 and #28 are, they are very bad. Out of place on 4 of those highlights. 

As for Ohio, a lot of those highlights seem to be the main result of miscommunication in zone coverage. It looks like they are running a Cover 3 in a lot of those highlights and nobody is picking up the receivers who are doing digs/sitting in zones. That's a recurring strategic problem that they probably will work heavily on in the fall.

What are they doing at the 1 minute mark of the Ohio highlights?  I am unfamiliar with this play.  It appears the QB is on his knee?  And then the running back (full back?) kicks the ball?

Miller looked good as did Thomas. Ohio is going to be short of receivers this year. Urban is preaching a young fun cutthroat brand of football that will be very attractive to top talent. Ohio is going to have solid linebacking and d line play.

Notre dame looked pretty weak defensively. The qb carousel will likely continue and Kelly's face will be purple by mid September. Notre dame did look good at the rb position. Daniels looked legit and Eifert is simply a matchup nightmare.

It’s always tough to tell from spring game footage, especially highlights, but ND’s defense looks awful. Sit everyone except Manti Te’o, because they’re just getting in his way. Although I suppose our defense wasn't very impressive in our spring game either. Anyway, thanks for posting this.

Notre Dame's defense looks rock solid.

and the two evenly-matched squads, it looked like Notre Dame was playing Navy.

I've always enjoyed Cierre Wood's game, that said I also enjoy him fumbling at the Big House UTL.

 should be noted that John Simon diidn't play much in the spring game and he's gonna be Huge for them this fall,

I think they pretty much did what we did with Denard i.e. "We know you're a beast, so let's see what everyone else can do"

Video only shows the tunovers and offensive highlights. Defense was solid and front 7 is very good again. Safeties are good but the corner besides Bennett Jackson is a big question mark. #4 George Atkinson III is electric but is also 6'1" so he is hard to bring down. Cierre Wood got bigger but with our RBs he won't be needed to carry 30 times a game. WRs are a big ?. Davaris Daniels #16 needs to step up to help replace floyd. Our TEs are the best group in the country. Besides Eifert we moved 6'7" Troy Niklas from OLB to TE and immediately started playing with the 1st team. He was out with a concussion for this game. Everett Golson looked Really Good. Rees sucks. Hendrix has accuracy problems. Look for Golson to start.
