So happy for Colzie. He didn't see a lot of playing time his 1st two seasons at ND & it'd been easy for him to quit & enter the transfer portal but he didn't. He's stuck through the tough times & I think he finally has a breakout year similar to Maurice Stovall years ago.

Lol, yep. Ivan Jasper too. They just don't have the quarterbacks like they did with Ricky Dobbs, and Keenan Reynolds. I wish they would start playing the other QB's besides Lavatai. Nothing against the kid, but they need a QB who can throw, run, and read the field better.

They went to Dublin for this blowout of a game?

[@JMARTIN1947]

First, Do you understand the history of the ND & Navy tradition? Second, both the. NFL and NCAA are trying to export American football by playing games overseas (London, Frankfurt, Sydney, etc.) and it has been going on for a few years. Most reports are that the foreign watchers love the games. Also, 30,000 Notre Dame fans made this trip. Third, you really don't know whether a game is going to be a blowout when you schedule it.

[@dashx1103]

Yeah, they did. I know a few who did personally. They went because they are fans, had a wonderful time visiting Dublin, and enjoyed a nice win in the opener. So ... what exactly is wrong with that?
