Maybe we should start praying that Tuitt doesn't injure all the opposing QB's he will be sacking this year, because he does have the work ethic.

Well, I vote that we wait until the Sunday after the 4th game for that week's prayers. Oh, and same thing for week 13 (game 12); we can pray after the team is on the flight back from L.A.

What great insight! How can anyone who loves the Irish not get excited about that???

He is already really good, and was good last year. But, that body/talent/work ethic and now some real confidence and swagger!!!

I love it. Man, I love Notre Dame and the guys we have.

After meeting the parents of Zach Martin on the plane to El Paso, great people!! And Zach was great on the way home (after getting the lineman of the game). This team is full of great people with tons a talent.

Great job Notre Dame getting such driven kids!!

Go Irish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stephon just tweeted "@DOCnation_7: Socrates is the man" and then proceeded to have an argument with one of his followers on why Socrates was better than Shakespeare. Only at ND

Guys, don't forget that sack near the end of the game where it looked like he nearly tore the Purdue quarterback in half. (It looked better than anything from last year.)

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - Farrell: Nkemdiche drama likely to play on

We received a ton of grief, and I mean a ton, from Notre Dame and FSU fans in 2011 for ranking Notre Dame defensive end signee Stephon Tuitt higher than fellow Irish signee (and former FSU verbal) Aaron Lynch and not giving Lynch that fifth star. Now we are feeling better about that decision. Tuitt, who outraced the entire Navy team for a 77-yard fumble recovery in the season opener despite checking in at 6-foot-6 and more than 300 pounds, has NFL scouts drooling over his athleticism, discipline and character. Meanwhile, scouts are scratching their collective heads at Lynch, who transferred to South Florida after a great start to his Notre Dame career. The difference between No. 22 overall in the country (Tuitt) and No. 28 (Lynch) is minuscule, but not to Irish and FSU fans in 2011. And the fact that Tuitt was a five-star and Lynch didn't get his after what appeared to be a more dominant U.S. Army Bowl performance didn't sit well. When Lynch was committed to Notre Dame, we got grief from the ND faithful. When he flipped to Florida State, the 'Noles fans clamored for that fifth star, and when he flipped back to the Irish in the end, most Notre Dame fans felt Lynch was clearly more talented than Tuitt. And let's not forget the Miami fans. Fellow defensive end Anthony Chickillo, the Under Armour Game Overall MVP, didn't get his fifth star either and was ranked No. 44 overall. He was another player that fans insisted was better than Tuitt. All three are impressive talents, but right now Tuitt has emerged as a three-and-out kind of talent while Lynch looks to rebuild his career in Tampa and Chickillo has bulked way up and appears to have lost that suddenness off the edge he had in high school.

This is interesting. I always said from day 1 in the threads that Tuitt was the more important recruit because of his fit in a 3-4 defense. Rating who is "better" is clearly quite the inexact science.

As a pure 4-3 DE pass rusher though there's still no doubt in my mind that Lynch deserved a 5th star coming out of high school. Can't really "project" the mental side of the game.

(Only Stephon didn't simply go unblocked and just manhandled the DL)

6'6" 305 lbs. I believe. And as far as the farming thing goes, he saw Niklas flipping blocking sleds, so he is going to flip cattle.

It appears that Monroe, GA is a somewhat Rural area or at least parts of the county it resides in are.

Maybe he just wants to get back to doing what he has always done growing up. He probably really enjoys farming.

When ND star DT Stephon Tuitt shows up to work on your farm, what do you have him do? Carry some cattle? Pull your tractor out of a ditch?
