Notre Dame Fighting Irish 2006 Independents Preview
by Thomas Jensen on Wednesday, August 30th, 2006
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish started off winning two games as they won 42-21 against the Pittsburgh Panthers. That following week they beat the Michigan Wolverines 17-10, a record two wins on the road by a Notre Dame Head Coach in College Football since 1918. The Irish were doing well before the Fiesta Bowl against Ohio State. This year will be different if not the same as last year as they averaged 477 yards per game and 37 points per game.
Quarterback Brady Quinn the star of the team has returned as a star. Wide receiver Jeff Samardzija and Rhema Mcknight, his most desired targets, are also back in the line up this year. The running back units are looking in top shape as they can expect the return of Daruis Walker and new comer, running back James Aldridge who was the 2nd rated prospect in the country.
The prospect for a National Championship Title has not been up for grabs since 1988 for the Irish. They must play their finest on the field and surpass the Trojans. Their schedule may not be their best advantage but they get to host 4 of their 6 games at home and hopefully be well rested.
