Slovis should be rusty. He hasn't really played in a month

Save for a few snaps vs Utah.

So it is up to ND to expose his rustiness and his inexperience.
He gets the ball out quick though. It will be up to ND to force him(via better coverage) into holding the ball longer so the DL isn't neutralized.

Helton mentioned that Slovis has lost a little arm strength in the month layoff--whereas Slovis stated his legs are not in the shape they were pre- injury. Regardless, ND needs to knock him around and see if he can take a hit.

As for Tony Jones-he is a good soldier. But it was very telling that he had trouble running away from terrible defenders on a bottom-feeder MAC team.
Some of those runs should have been 70+ TD runs by a back that ND should have at their disposal.
