How Sam Darnold got to USC. He didn’t pick up a USC offer from Elite 11 but when he visited USC and threw in front of Coach Sark and Helton it changed their minds.
Injuries along the defensive line led to Wisconsin playing star left tackle Joe Thomas on defense for five plays in the 2006 Capital One Bowl.
Thomas, who had a First Round NFL Draft grade, tore his ACL on his fifth defensive snap. He decided to come back to school in 2006, won the Outland Trophy, earned consensus All-American honors and was taken third overall by the Browns in the 2007 NFL Draft.
Honestly, I’m at the point where I just want to see elite defense again. Screw the high potent offense. I want to see some fast, flying, hard smacking defense…
Marcus Freeman said he’d play USC anytime anywhere- beginning, middle or end of season.
USC suggested Week 0. So why didn’t ND accept?
ND canceled series versus:
Michigan
MSU
USC.
Notre Dame didn’t get selected to the CFP then they took their ball and went home; refused to play their bowl game.
They refuse to join conference.
ND does what they want if it only benefits them. They do not care about the greater good for college football. Everyone needs to start realizing, if they hadn’t yet— that they are SOFT!
