... (48-719-7) is a good second option who had a 100 yard day against us. He put up his numbers despite missing the final three games of the regular season. Kyle Rudolph (29-340-2) gives Clausen a solid tight end as an option as well. ...
Nevada at Notre Dame Preview: Don't Turn Your Back On The Wolf Pack
Rakes Of Mallow —
... While I know there may be some segments of the fanbase who won't consider this game a success unless we rush thirty-plus times, I think the basic game plan should revolve around getting Jimmy some protection and then running Golden and Michael past Nevada's defensive backs and throwing to them. If you want to mix in some screens, or the occasional power I or maybe some nice tosses to Kyle Rudolph, fine, but I think Weis should just go with the BYU 2005 gameplan until the Wolf Pack proves they can stop the passing attack. ...

He has 12 catches for 174 yards and 2 touchdowns already this season, and if there's someone on the ND roster who's likely to pull a Herb Haygood-type play as shown above, it's him. Tate will probably be lined up against Chris L. Rucker for much of the game; Rucker had a difficult game last week, and needs to bounce back. Kyle Rudolph is the Irish tight end; at 6'6", 260, he's a load, and he's also a pass catching threat, with 29 receptions as a freshman last season. The Blue-Gray sky said, with some ...

They won't have to worry about Kyle Rudolph over the middle because we're not smart enough to actually cover an inside receiver/tight end over the middle (especially on third and long).

... will draw a lot of attention from the Trojan defense, but Weis has been playing a shell game with him since Floyd's injury, and I don't see him suddenly making it easy to bracket his main playmaker. Kyle Rudolph will face some athletes who are more than capable of matching up with him, but he's already shown he can come through when it matters. My primary concern is the continued lack of a definite answer at the second wide receiver position. Whether it's a consistent rotation or one standout performer, someone is going to need to give ...

Stanzi's primary receivers are WR Derrell Johnson-Koulianos and TE Tony Moeaki, both of whom had big games against Wisconsin: DJK (easier this way) had 8 catches for 134 yards, while Moeaki had 3 catches for 55 yards. Moeaki, in particular worries me; we've had all kinds of trouble defending good pass-catching tight ends this season (Kyle Rudolph and ...

A fumble at goal line by your all-world quarterback, and an interception at the goal line caused by a miscommunication between that same quarterback and an all-universe receiver who was still knocking some rust off. At one point when it looked like Kyle Rudolph's collarbone had gone the way of the Dodo and Clausen looked like someone needed to outline him in chalk on the goal line, it seemed like a perfect end to a season and a coaching tenure: just ...
