Which goes back to my point that he is a good quarterback for the offense Air Force runs. No one is saying he is the best QB in the country or anything of the sort. For what Air Force runs, he is a very good quarterback. You are the one trying to make him into something more or less than that.

Handing the ball off and pitching the ball is not the same thing, especially in the triple option. And I would still guess that the ball is given on the dive about 20% of the time. There is a lot more to it than simply handing off, and its clear you can't understand that.

There is no reason ND couldn't man up on them and beat them at the point of attack. ND has better athletes than AF. As for the OSU comparison, it's comical you are comparing a team dealing with suspensions and NCAA scandals to ND. I guess it levels the playing field for you to make that comparison.
You can't just stack the box because when you do that, they run an option pass and a tight end is running down the seam wide open for the horrible quarterback to hit in stride for a TD. Again, you show your limited (non-existent) football knowledge. Regarding OSU, how many defensive players were suspended against Nebraska? How many defensive players left due to the NCAA scandal? Statistically and in the minds of pretty much every OSU fan on this board, OSU was a top 10 defense nationally. So please explain how such a talented defense can't stop an option offense with a QB who can't throw the ball downfield?

Oh, I see. How can you be so adamant about what happened in the Notre Dame then game if you didn't watch? Again, you are clueless.
