By

It's a four way battle to start at quarterback in Notre Dame, perhaps the most high profile position in all of college sports. But after upon further inspection, it's most likely a two way competition this college football season. Last year's starter Tommy Rees had the inside track to regain the position this year, but the charges he's facing: underage drinking, resisting … [Read more...] about Notre Dame QB derby: Andrew Hendrix, the other “favorite”

2012 Notre Dame Spring Game notes, nuggets and tidbits

By

The number one topic is of course the four-way starting quarterback battle. Unlike other spring games, Notre Dame lets them pretty much go live at QB, which is a lot cooler than the signal caller wearing a red, no-contact jersey. Here's the statistical breakdown. Everett Golson 31 snaps, 11-15 passing, 120 yards, two TDs, 0 picks. 6 carries for 25 yards. Tommy Rees 7-14-1, … [Read more...] about 2012 Notre Dame Spring Game notes, nuggets and tidbits

Notre Dame Running Game in 2011: What can be expected from Cierre Wood?

Defense: 23rd in scoring , 50th in rushing, 54th in passing, 50th in total yards. 2010 was also the first year since 1971 that the Fighting Irish failed to … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Running Game in 2011: What can be expected from Cierre Wood?

Notre Dame Offense: Too Early Season Preview

By

“The quarterback spot? I really don't know. I’m taking all suggestions. I can make a case passionately for any of the four. We can't go into the season not knowing what we're doing.

During one of his banner seasons leading the Cincinnati Bearcats, current Notre Dame Coach Brian Kelly played two QBs. This fall in South Bend, it could happen again. Maybe. Dayne Crist is the projected starter, with Tommy Rees number two as of today, but the depth chart isn't set in stone, or anything like that, as of now. "We'll have to obviously cut back and hone in … [Read more...] about Notre Dame Quarterback Derby will Be Intriguing this Summer
