I live 15 minutes from Philadelphia. People here are either Temple or Penn State fans. My best friend's wife's little brother is the new field goal kicker for Temple so this game has special meaning to me. I plan on going to the Notre Dame-Temple game when they come to Philly.

GO IRISH!

My biggest interest is going to be the offense and Rees. I want to believe in the Senior and what he has come to Notre Dame to be and do. It has been a love/hate relationship with his play. I want him to play well enough to see Hendrix.

My second interest is going to be Kelly's play calling with Rees and the adjustment to the pistol offense. The extra two second or three Rees will get in this formation should help his reads and decision making.

GO IRISH!!!!!!!

My biggest interests are who steps up as far as 2nd team DL.

Will Kona be as good as advertised? Will it 'click' for Jarron or will he be a non factor? Is Rochell ready or does he need more time? Can Stockman pull a rabbit out of the hat?

I think this second unit could be anywhere from average to good. But we lost so much when Springmann went down. He was a legit player.

and... if I may Sir; Who is going to be that first team leader on defense in place of Teo? Will it be Irish Chocolate? Will it be Mr. Tuitt? Farley? Fox?

Nix and Tuitt don't strike me as 'leaders'. IMO - Farley or Jackson (captain).

Why is that? Just curious why you see them as non-leaders? Is it the position? Or just their demeanor? I can see where the captain SHOULD be the leader but sometimes you have that guy that just seems to pump up others and gets 'labeled' the leader.

It's probably lack of information.

I think Lou is a goofball and I never really hear Tuitt speak. I like Bennett Jackson and Farley in interviews, and they're returning starters and vets.

I am friends with Big Lou on F/B... you're right, he is a big 'ol goofball. Good guy of course. I can see where your coming from on those points.

Either way, going to be weird not seeing Teo out there!

GO IRISH!!!!!

Herbstreit just said if we win 8 games it will be a great year...9 wins would be sensational.

Pretty sure there was a quote somewhere that Lou said he prefers to lead with his play and that he's not a real vocal person in that regard.
