Woot woot!!! College football is back! I love the hype, the excitement, and the hoopla!
Even better, ND won their first game. They were confident, organized, and prepared to beat Rice. I surprised myself because I can honestly say that I missed the natural grass. While I understand the need for field turf, I missed the mud smears and grass stains on the players.
I wasn't exactly sure what to expect with this game…the Irish have so much new stuff: new offensive coordinator, new defensive coordinator, new field turf, new players, new Under Armor uniforms! Oh, and not too mention the 5 players that are under investigation that are unable to participate in practice or games. In the end, I was pleasantly surprised by the Fighting Irish. ND looked solid with all the new stuff and missing players.
My Pick 6 positives from the game:
1. Everett Golson - just wow!
2. the tempo, pace, cadence - on target
3. clean play - only 2 penalties - 10 yards
4. kick and punt returns - more yards
5. Greg Bryant - he's very exciting to watch
6. Sheldon Day - playmaker
Next week - Michigan! Bekki and I will watch the game together!
Go Irish!
