This is the worst possible news. Backup QB's seem to always have career days against us.

No. They should wear the ones they wore when they won games.....save the pretty ones for next year. Just like the grey uniforms in which the basketball teams seem to underperform.

Unless someone new is added to the RB list we've lost the only really shifty and evasive back on the team for what are viewed as the few tough games left on the schedule. Hoping we find a way to keep the running game an important piece of the offense.

Then there's Ja Morant. Unranked in high school and #2 overall pick in the draft after two years at Murray St.

Running backs give and take lots of hard hits to the shoulders and that means the clavicles. I'm not an orthopedic surgeon but doubt he can return this year unless it's just a slight crack that could knit in 4-6 weeks. Even then, the season's over in about ten or eleven weeks so depending on...

Just looked up his history and found that all games during his two years as DC at ND were vacated in 2018 after an NCAA investigation into eligibility issues about a few players. So, all games in 2012 and 2013 were wiped from ND's record. Thus, the NCAA took away their status as the school with...

Amen. Good quarterbacks today are much more accurate with their throws, just like kickers today make a much higher percentage of field goals. We've got the kicking part covered but if you watch other games you won't see the number of bad throws we're seeing now from our QB. Long, behind the...

Right. He was so unexpectedly good last year I feared we'd lose him. Being Mr. positive, I was thinking he's built like Parcells so maybe, just maybe, he'd be the offensive version of Bill and take us to new heights.

I never paid much attention to the Big12, so help me out. Haven't many of those 18 titles been won in a league that hasn't been all that deep?

The author worked hard to justify some predictions that make little sense.

How could I forget the early part of the UCLA dynasty? Plus, a poor choice of words. What I was trying to say was there was nowhere near the attention paid to the NCAA tournament before the broadcasts went national in 1969. It was syndicated before that (beginning in 1963) and didn't have the...

Nobody gives much credence to the titles won before 1969 except Kentucky, Indiana and a few others. How little attention the games got could best be illustrated by when Final Four games were first televised: 1963-Syndicated broadcast of the title game for the first time. 1969-National broadcast...

They would probably say they take great pride in their consistency as opposed to some team getting lucky 6 times in 25 seasons....... I know one fairly well and he even rationalized giving Self the lifetime "get out of jail free card" included in his last contract.

He was the golden boy who won the award for National DC of the year so he was probably viewed by our AD as a "safe hire". My first thought when he was hired was the blowout loss Notre Dame suffered in their bowl game at the end of the season for which he won that award. Then, watching the end...

It's too bad his last year was also Perno's last year. It would have been nice if he could have been there for JC's first year. We were suffering fans those years but he was one of the positive guys. A good player and seemed to be an even nicer person.......must have been his Air Force background!
