Touchdown Jesus
Greetings from Notre Dame Stadium.
This just in: It’s a bit different than the other UConn-Notre Dame games (basketball) I’ve attended here.
Plenty of UConn jerseys and fans milling around. And the UConn band (and cheerleaders…or is it spirit squad, now?) has made the trip to South Bend.
Still, it’s mostly Golden Domers around these parts and the Irish certainly expect to get a win.
– It’s also mostly Irish players on the field. I counted 94 players in uniform for Notre Dame today.
Is it me, or is that a lot?
I think he coached four horses
– UConn’s travel contingent is the same as usual. No last-minute injuries or suspensions for the visitors.
– No changes to the starting lineup that I can see, at least from watching the pre-game “team” period.
It looks like freshman WR Mike Lang is getting a few more snaps than usual, but maybe I’m crazy.
RB Andre Dixon looks fine, too. If he doesn’t play a lot today it’s probably because Jordan Todman is running very well. There doesn’t seem to be any lingering injury issues for Dixon.
– QB Cody Endres and RB Robbie Frey have made the trip, despite their season-ending injuries.
Frey’s left arm remains in a sling while Endres is free-wheeling it.
– UConn RB coach Terry Richardson, as expected, is not here. He’s attending his mother’s funeral in Florida.
