#NotreDame S Matthias Farley said the club is off surgically repaired hand, just playing with a smaller brace-like contraption now

Even if you don't like tattoos,you have to admit this is pretty sweet.

i doubt its on him, im sure its considered disrespectful to get Maori/Polynesian tattoo's if you are not of such lineage. Unless he is, then my bad :)

I'm getting tired of watching him bounce off ball carriers..

^This, but it's not just him. The whole secondary looks lost out there. Bad angles and poor tackling. I had a 2011 flashback in the 4th qtr last night when Henry threw that 50 yd pass down the middle of the field, with Jackson and Farley running step for step with receiver only to not turn their heads and the receiver stops and catches the ball. What boggles my mind is all these guys have played pretty extensively and all have played a lot better. As individuals they all look to have regressed. It's probably because we are playing more man and that's exposing them but it doesn't bode well for the rest of the season. Since, we got the W I'll end This on a positive note, Jackson's pick six was awesome and very timely!

I think we are finding out how important zeke motta was last year to his development...unfortunately he has not been able to take the baton and run with it.

Kid should be playing soccer still. How sad is it we have a soccer player starting? Not kicking but playing safety. I am sure he is a great kid, but an awful football player !

You remember Shane Walton? I would take him over BJax.

Farley needs to go through tackling drills, like every day for the rest of his career.

Just don't know how a player can be such a bad tackler yet still get so much playing time. Hopefully since BCS aspirations are out the window Kelly will be more apt to play the younger/unknown guys like Redfield and Hardy. Good opportunity to get those guys experience and at least see if they can push Matthias for a starting spot next year.

Agree with this 100%/

On the bright side, might have to get me some Pinstripe bowl tickets!

I wouldn't count on that.
