Autry’s Den: Coming of Age

As I finish watching the end of Purdue game I could not be more satisfied with the effort our team showed today. As individuals we are defined by how we respond to the adversity we face in our lives. Last week our young Irish team was dealt a big blow in the loss in East Lansing to the Michigan State Spartans. After the MSU game there were only two choices that our team could have made; take it as call to have a gut check or bury their heads, quit on the season, and let Purdue have their way with us.

UHND Opponent Poll - Week 5
2008 UHND Opponent Poll - Week 5 Opponent Last Game Next Comments 1. Southern Cal Trojans (2-1) L, 21-27 - Oregon State vs. #23 Oregon (10/4) Frank : Wow. I did not see that one coming.

Balanced Attack Throttles Boilers

The Irish returned home to Notre Dame Stadium yesterday and improved to 3-1 on the season after a 38-21 win over Purdue. It was a game highlighted by superior play in all three phases of football at different points throughout the game. While the win was an important one, this young team still has plenty [...]

Notre Dame will try to rebound from last weekend’s 23-7 loss at Michigan on Saturday when intra-state rival Purdue travels to South Bend to take on the Irish.

Michigan Win A Building Block for Young Irish

Notre Dame, IN (UHND.com) – Notre Dame’s win over Michigan this past weekend was a step in the right direction for a Notre Dame team trying to rebound from last season’s nightmare of a season, but it wasn’t the “signature” win some people might want to make it out to be. It is what it [...]

Marlon Pollard	6-1	160	CB	Cajon, CA	****	****
UHND's Take: Notre Dame got a corner with some very good coverage skills in Pollard. He will need to put in his fair share of time in the weight room to be a factor in the run game, but as a pure cover corner, he is very advanced technique wise for a high schooler.
Nicholas Tausch	6-1	180	K	Dallas, TX	n/a	n/a
UHND's Take: Notre Dame gave Dustin Hopkins a deadline to make his decision and when he stalled, Weis gave Tausch the offer. Tausch jumped at the offer and is said to have the more accurate leg.
Ben Turk	6-0	185	P	Ft Lauderdale, FL	n/a	n/a
UHND's Take: Turk is considered by some to be the best punter in the country and with no kickers taken in this most recent class, Weis decided to targeted a kicker and a punter.
Alex Bullard	6-4	275	OG	Brentwood, TN	****	****
UHND's Take: Bull is an absolute monster of an offensive linemen and has the versatility to be able to play tackle if he continues growing. As is, Bullard is a top notch OL for this class.
Dan Fox	6-3	215	LB	Cleveland, OH	****	****
UHND's Take: Fox is a rising recruit who has a lot more speed and athleticism than most people give him credit for. Fox will play OLB and hails from the same HS as Robby Parris and John Ryan.
Carlo Calebrese	6-2	225	LB	Verona, NJ	****	****
UHND's Take: Calebrese is a run stuffing MLB who will need some help in pass coverage. He is very physically advanced for a HS linebacker though and could see the field early.
