Wait a sec...he didn't play all of 2020, so redshirt that year.
Played in 2021
Played in 2022
Played in 2023
Possible medical redshirt for this year...
If he still has a COVID year then he'd have 2 years of eligibility left? Is that right? :laugh:
Can we take guesses where he goes next?
2020 doesn’t exist. You don’t have to redshirt, it doesn’t count for anybody. It’s like it never happened for everybody that season. So he had 4 full years of eligibility & a RedShirt year, starting in 2021. That’s how there are so many 6 year guys.

Would prefer that DJ U not play. Can we beat him? Sure but the other QBs look terrible and DJ U does have a live arm and did put 47 up on us at night. He’s hard to bring down as a very big guy. The backups are not pro level talent and will be sacked 5+ times.

Btw we gave up almost 400 embarrassing yards to NIU. We had around 250. Embarrassing again.

Sat 09 | Night​

50°

66%
SE9 mph
Rain showers in the evening will evolve into a more steady rain overnight. Low near 50F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 70%.
Rain would make it hard to run up the score... and to beat the spread

But their passing game is worse.
They actually have some decent backs. One might be out with an injury.
The mystery is their OLine has underperformed markedly even though they are a veteran group
Yep, the OL was expected to be a strength……it’s not 😊

Looks like I am going to go to this game, taking my son for his first one. We're going to be in Section 1, just to the right of the tunnel, Row 17. Been awhile since I've sat next to the student section, figure it'll be fun for him to see their energy.

My first game to ND was vs FSU when Bobby was there and everyone's fave coach of all time Willingham. Got absolutely railed.

I was there too...yeah, kinda sucked.
Only positive all day was before the game. I was wearing a kilt and had a beret with fake red hair coming out the back. I went to ND's indoor practice field and FSU's band was practicing there. As they were leaving the FSU cheerleaders saw me and decided they wanted a picture. I was 20 at the time, needless to say being surrounded by all those Florida babes was a nice ego boost.

The only thing I remember about the game was that Bobby was more like a mascot at that point. He stood away from all the other players and coaches, didn't even have a headset on from what I could see. Looked more like the assistants were running the show than he was.

I'm sure it's been touched on in this thread but tomorrow's the kinda-sorta 31st anniversary of the first ESPN College Game Day at the ND-FSU game. Actually only 4 days off as the Game of the Century was Nov 13th. I was in the parking lot... too cheap/broke to pay $50 to get in.

Tonight/Tomorrow's schedule for those attending.



3:30 is Bagpipes at the Golden Dome (My son is looking forward to this big time)
3-7 is the Coca Cola Pregame at the Joyce Center Gate 3, I don't remember what this is, haven't been over to the Joyce in awhile
12:00 is an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting (I'm not going, but I did sneak this into our itinerary when I messaged my wife to see if she noticed)

I actually took a look at the full list here, but they didn't list the player walk and I wanted to take him to that, so I'm glad you sent that Tweet @BobbyMac. I never remember when it happens for a night game. Thanks!

This was the last year where ND was truly a dominant force in CFB. Holtz would lead ND to rebound in ‘95 w/ one last gasp but lost the bowl game…to FSU…w/ backup QB Thomas Krug almost pulling the upset.

I was a senior in college watching the 1993 game in an apartment filled w/ friends & fraternity brothers. I was the ONLY ND fan as everyone else was rooting for FSU (despite being Razorbacks fans first). There was no way Bobby Bowden was not gonna finally get his NC in 1993. The media & casual CFB fans were all behind him b/c they felt sorry for all his losses to Miami that cost him a chance at the natty.

I didn’t realize it until after the game, but it hit me how much folks hated Notre Dame. It made the victory that much sweeter (and the following week that much more bitter) but it stayed w/ me for the next 25 years or so that ND would always have to play a perfect season to even be considered for a NC again.

I was sure ND would get a share of the ‘93 NC after FSU eked out a win over #2 Nebraska & ND beat aTm in the Cotton Bowl. That didn’t even come close to happening. To show how subjective the polls were back then:

1989: #1 Notre Dame loses to #7 Miami (their lone loss was to FSU) in Coral Gables but then goes on to beat the #1 Colorado Buffaloes comfortably in the bowl game. Miami is crowned NC in both polls

1993: #1 FSU loses to #2 ND in South Bend but then goes on to beat #2 Nebraska in the bowl game. FSU is crowned NC in both polls.

Just watched most of the game of the century this morning. That game should have been a blowout. Several drops for ND on offense that would have been big plays and interception drops.

Had they blown them out, they would have got a share of the NC.

Don't forget 2012, where Alabama had the worse loss but had the head to head with ND, and of course got the NC as a result. Would be nice to go back and rationalize the results of all those years for consistency.

Agreed. A non-competitive blowout and they share. Keep in mind that in ‘89 Miami lost by 2 TDs to FSU & ND lost by 2 TDs at Miami. Miami won H2H but ND beat #1 Colorado in bowl game by 2 TDs.

I'm sure it's already been posted but looks like the rain is going to hold off tonight and it's going to be beautiful fall night in November
