“there is plenty of buzz around Lopati being the next man up to be offered by the Notre Dame staff…The Irish staff is expected to make a run here.”

Trivia time… last QB from Utah that ND signed?
Well. you'll need to scroll to page 42 of the 1960 ND Scholastic Football Review article on the '60 ND Frosh squad (linked below) for proof -

the only QB from Utah to Notre Dame was Jay Gamble from Salt Lake City Utah

Gamble transferred from ND & finished at Utah


There have been numerous ND players from Utah through the years, but I believe Gamble was the only QB

Somoygi-esque level of ND history.

I tip my cap to you.

Gamble came to Notre Dame after my junior year. Unfortunately for him, Joe Kuharich was the coach (and mightily failing) and pinned his future to the "elephant backfield" that he bragged about in recruiting. This group of newcomers was to feature Jim Snowden (NFL offensive tackle) at fullback, some huge NFL Tight End whose name slips my mind just now (Paul Costa?) at halfback, a guy named Rutkowski at the other halfback, and Frank Budka at quarterback. It probably didn't take Gamble long to figure out that he wasn't playing over Daryle Lamonica (the current QB), nor Budka ... so he wisely left.

Soon Kuharich realized that elephants belong on the line-of-scrimmage and got fired and a new coach from Northwestern was brought in ... who WAS that new guy anyway?
