Struggled is a strong word. He's had bad reps but in no case did he really "struggle". He really had the one bad rep vs UGA and bullied Chubb NCST outside of one rep and he's one of, if not the top EDGE in the class. And against Miami, yeah no one looked great but he really only had the one truly bad play.
Boston College didn't even put Landry on him more than a few times and he handled him.
He's still very good.

The whole team was out of sorts. Miami punched ND in the face and ND shriveled.
A large part of the issue was the right side and center. Now don't get me wrong, both McGlinchey and Nelson both had their shitty plays but they also had some very good blocks.
Neither was exceptionally better than the other and the praise of Nelson while tearing McGlinchey down vs Miami is what I'm trying to highlight.
