    According to Pete Sampson, Zeke Correll, has a high ankle sprain and may miss the Syracuse game. That's not good news, he played very well for his first start and the game experience he would get from Syracuse and Wake Forrest would mean a lot going into the ACC Championship game.

    Pro Football Focus has a very complimentary article on the Irish defense and Clark Lea.

    With a dominant win over North Carolina that basically wraps up an appearance in the 2020 ACC Title Game, it looks as though even a loss in a rematch to Clemson would keep Notre Dame in a College Football Playoff spot.

    North Carolina had been on fire on offense over the last few games, and there were more than a few people who expected the Tar Heels to win this Week 13 game in a shootout. Instead, after a quick 14 points, Notre Dame’s defense settled down and exposed North Carolina for the rest of the game.

    We may not lose Lea to a college program. NFL teams may have their eyes on him.

    All of the teams who are consistently in the Top 5 keep their coaching staffs together. Time to open the checkbooks and show a little proactive love.

    I dont know. Alabama has had 7 offensive coordinators and 6 defensive coordinators since Saban came in 2007. The problem has been many move up to head coaching jobs.

    Lebron has been tweeting a bit about ND Football...I'd be surprised if he were a secret fan though. I'd imagine he's Buckeye through and through.
