id suspect they wanted to redshirt him. It's hard to believe McGovern was allowed play at 295 lbs for a senior interior lineman SMH..

I can understand why he was struggling to keep on weight, due to his injury problems seemingly every year. But you're right, he should not have been allowed to play. Harrell should've been given the starting job.

I figured that they wanted to redshirt Tommy and Liam, but that RG spot was a problem the whole year. Losing Elmer and not having Tillery as an OT really hurt the depth of the O line.

Not having Hoge get any snaps either was kind of crazy. Surely the kid had something to offer at C or RG

He did come in underweight and lacking the strength to play. I just hate even thinking about this past year's line.

even big mike at LT for another year makes me feel pessimistic unless he takes a huge leap and the scheme protects his inability to handle speed rushers

UVa signs long snapper out of Notre Dame.

Thought the camera was supposed to add 10lbs?

Is he sick? No italics.

My buddy just said it's being reported on a paid site that McGovern will not enroll at UVA.

I wonder if he had to sign a binding GIA with UVA already? I wonder if he was on campus at ND this spring or if he graduated at the Fall break? Was he at UVA in the spring semester? Could this be related to Hoge leaving? Could he be coming back for a grad year? Hmmmmmmm...

And here I was wondering if Mike Frank's slip earlier in the week on ISD was genuine.

Odd thing. Could be a situation where a former starter comes back to a school where he cannot make the starting five --- or even the top seven. But if he DOES come back and puts his soul into it as next-man-in #8, then that definitely helps ND.

if he's still weighing 270 lbs then I'd rather blood one of the underclassmen
