Stanford at Notre Dame – 2nd Quarter Thoughts
Stanford’s offensive line is completely controlling the line of scrimmage against the Irish defense. The Cardinal is getting a great push up front and are running all over us to start the second quarter. They aren’t even trying to pass on this drive an right now we have no answer.

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 [...]

More Practice Observations from Yesterday
Offense Clausen’s passes are looking SHARP. It’s pretty clear that a full off-season in the weight room without any limitations is paying off for him. The running back competition is going to rage on into the fall. All three Irish backs had their moments yesterday, but in my opinion, Robert Hughes still looks the best [...]
Initial Thoughts from the Stanford Game
Offense Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughes. Robert Hughes is going to be a heck of a running back for the next couple of years. Hughes doesn’t go down on first contact and shows some great vision and quickness. He needs to work on turning a 44 yard run like the one he had in the 4th quarter into a [...]
