'14 GA QB Montgomery VanGorder (Notre Dame Preferred Walk-On)

[FDNYIrish1]

ive been wondering when he's going to get the credit he deserves. I've been saying all year what an amazing job he's been doing. Balis has had a huge impact on him clearly.

I agree with Balis having an impact on him. I am fascinated with the way he's been grabbing balls out of thin air and planting them right into the ground with tremendous speed. There actual have been rumblings around the Gug that they have had to actually replace some of the turf on the practice field for how hard he's been slamming balls to the ground after the grab from the long snapper.

This is one-of-a-kind. ND could be adding another trophy to it's collection.

Is it gonna be super awkward when BVG is in the house on Saturday?

Or will he even be there?

If so, does the crowd respect Monty enough to suppress any boo birds?

didn't think about that....it would be F#CKED up if the crowd boos....its the kid's day

 

[zelezo vlk]

I'll applaud the kid. Monty's teammates respect him, and he's done a good job of holding. I can't remember where, but some players immediately listed Gummy as a teammate who will be a future coach.

I wonder if zero hold opportunities Saturday knocked him out of contention for Holder of the Year?

The Penguins just got themselves one helluva holder. Could be the player that gets them over the top.

 

[Southside Sully]

Maybe going to learn some more coaching ropes from Tressel.

 

[Me2SouthBend]

So does ND sign a new holder on the Feb. Signing Day? Who's still out there? Crusader, we need profiles, Stat!

Good for him! He was a good trooper throughout all the negativity. I'm 40 miles south and might have to see what he's got

awesome news, best of luck to MVG.

The biggest snub in Mortell Award history. Never forget.

I just watched the video again for shits and giggles. The Ace Ventura reference alone should have won it for him:

BVG did something right in raising that kid...he's a good guy! I hope he lights it up this weekend!

He had a lot more time to raise him because he never spent any time recruiting

Growing up with BVG as a father, Monty should definitely understand what it takes for an offense to shred a defense. I expect big things.
