Notre Dame Football- Lots of Questions


Well, as I sit here tonight getting more excited about the upcoming Notre Dame Football season, I have several questions about this year's edition. The Irish open up the season in just 4 short days when they host the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.


Gone is a ton of talented offensive players but really not a ton of defensive all-starts. By the way, has ND had a great defense recently? I think that is going to change with a new D Coordinator and some great defensive recruits heading to South Bend.


So, here we go....here are some really interesting questions I have been thinking about.


1. Who in the world is going to be the starting QB?????

Craig's Prediction: Demetrius Jones (He gives the Irish the best chance to win now)

2. The Irish Defense- New Coordinator Corwin Brown is going to have his group ready.

Craig's Prediction- They can't get any worse, have some speedy Freshmen who will step up and play early on.

Craig's Prediction: No doubt, way before.

4. Who in the heck is going to step up and win the ND kick-off duties?

Craig's Prediction: I am routing for my buddy Ryan Burkhart of Norhwood, but it hasn't looked good for him in practice.

5. How many games will the Irish win this season?

Craig's Prediction: 8 (G. Tech, Michigan State, Purdue, Boston College, Navy, Air Force, Duke and Stanford)


I am really excited to be a part of the opening home game. I love hangin out around game time. Just the atmosphere of those brawts cooking, tailgating, going to the ND Bookstore, watching the players arrive, the band playing, just the site of ND Stadium........


Let the season begin....


Prediction: Notre Dame 24 Georgia Tech 21


Let me know your comments on the upcoming ND season...
