85th Annual Notre Dame Football Blue-Gold Game Preview - One Foot Down

Elijah Shumate has been bothered by a nagging leg injury for the past couple weeks.

i remember someone asking why we haven't heard or seen much of him...

That answers some questions. I was expecting big things from Elijah and was curious why we haven't heard more from him. Thanks PandFan.

You think they could afford to have better sound quality.

You'd rather be front to back with him? Stephen, you are a crazy Irishman.

Seriously. I'd be willing to bet the plug end of that mic is hanging freely a foot outside of frame. All the sound from this video is being picked up from the video camera. Way to spend all out the, ESPN.

I'll be heading up on Saturday. I can't wait to get to SB again.

Yes nbcsports.com will have it.

they dont allow you view from outside US though, unless you have an american vpn solution or whatever
