Notre Dame has been very successful making big plays through the air this season. Clausen has a big arm and he has a talented core of receivers and an athletic tight end in Kyle Rudolph. His favorite deep threat is Golden Tate and he will throw the ball down field to Tate at least four or five times on Saturday. BC's safeties Wes Davis and Marcellus Bowman are not exactly speedsters so look for them to be tested alot Saturday. In this case BC's defensive scheme of playing soft coverages may help, but if Notre Dame begins to pick BC apart underneath we may be in trouble.
Pressure Clausen
Last year the Eagles pressured Clausen into four interceptions. He is a pocket passer in every sense of the word so forcing him to move and making him uncomfortable throwing the ball is essential to stopping their passing attack.
Get Larmond Involved
ND will be keying on Montel Harris especially after last week's performance. Our next best threat is Colin Larmond. The Irish secondary is porous and Larmond's speed and size will likely be too much for them to handle. Hopefully Shinskie and the offensive line can overcome their road woes and find a way to get Larmond the ball.
