Chris Milton is every bit as physically gifted as DJ White in terms of size, speed, and quickness. In fact, Milton may be faster than DJ. Speed-wise, Milton can hang with a good majority of the WRs out there. Milton's problem (or weakness) has always been discipline peaking in the backfield, keeping his balance while maintaining position, and maintaining proper leverage. He's gotten better with all that this season, but then again, he hasn't had to cover anyone yet with the same quality as he'll see Saturday.
Secondary matchup will be interesting as we may have problems getting pressure with just a 4 man rush...we'll need to bring pressure from other places, and our CBs will be on an island more often than not. Lots of pressure on our CBs this weekend to stay with their guys, while also helping with run support as ND is going to try to run it on us.
As I said in another thread...our offense against their defense is getting all the hype, but our defense against their offense is the real matchup of this game. Our offense is going to score points on ND, now can we stop ND from scoring points on us?
To be determined...
