Classify the Irish defense against New Mexico

Notre Dame football won the match at Notre Dame stadium for the first time this season and the Irish defense responded to its bill.

The football fans of Notre-Dame will undoubtedly have mixed feelings about his defense after the one hundred and seventy five shots played Saturday in New Mexico. Many will highlight the fact that the Irish defense has given over 200 yards against a New Mexico team that does not hold the candle to Notre Dame's talent. Nevertheless, there was more good than bad in Saturday's win.

Let's take a look at the groups of Notre Dame defensive positions:

Defensive line

Without a doubt, the Irish defensive line has been admirably performing against New Mexico. The interior of the found defense had to penetrate widely into the background of New Mexico, which complicated the task of the Lobos, even though they were playing some big games.

The Lobos participated in a few games, which helped the total number of players to rush. One of these large pieces was held at the waste hour.

In the passing game, the defensive line was disruptive, highlighted by Daelin Hayes' deflection that led to an interception of Kyle Hamilton. The Irish did not register a bag, but they made life difficult for the New Mexico quarterbacks.

The defensive line gets a B + in this one.

linebackers

The linebacker's body seemed better after another week of training. As we mentioned, New Mexico played some big games running, but it's fair to say that it was hard for the Lobos to be consistent in moving the soccer ball all the way through. Match.

Asmar Bilal seemed to have made a lot of progress and Drew White continued to impress, while the linebacker group started stronger as the match unfolded.

Linebackers receive a B in this one.

Defensive backs

Irish side-school was great, with the biggest game being won by security, Kyle Hamilton, who intercepted a pass and sent it back for a touchdown to allow the Irish to score.

In simple terms, New Mexico could not pass the ball against the Irish. Two combined quarters only completed 10 passes in 29 attempts.

Answer some questionable interfering calls and we are talking about a perfect afternoon.

The Irish high school gets an A for this one.

Overall, it should be noted that the Irish defense will never be perfect. However, it will continue to improve and adapt to match play. No one expects the Irish defense to hold hands, but if it can be just effective enough, it will have a chance to fight against any opponent.
