I agree that the presence of Tenuta will greatly help the ND defense here. And for all you people who claim that ND is not improved, you are smoking a huge crack pipe. Last year ND was outgained 364-241 ypg and outscored 29-16 per game. This year ND has outgained foes 374 - 325 ypg and outscored opponents 24-20 per game. The offense is a whole lot better and the defense is slightly improved too. No one expected ND to be great this year after a 3-9 season last year where they easily could have finished 1-11. To say that ND is not much improved is totally asinine.
