‘Boise Banter’ Rekindles Buzz For College Football Playoffs - Forbes (blog)

On the bright side for Irish fans, Tate Forcier won’t be lining up at quarterback for Michigan on Saturday. The bad news is that the Wolverines’ new signal-caller, Denard Robinson, could represent even more of an offensive threat. The challenge for Irish coach Brian Kelly this week is finding a scout team player that can best replicate Robinson’s unique blend of speed and athleticism, clearly a daunting task. “You know, I don’t know that you ever can prepare for Denard Robinson at the same speed that he plays,” Kelly said in his Tuesday press conference. “But we’ve got a couple of people that we think can help us out with that.” While the Irish faced a mobile quarterback in Purdue’s Robert Marve in the opener, Kelly noted that Robinson would be a different test, both skill-wise and schematically. “It’s a different team,” he said

When U. Notre Dame senior forward and Lowe’s Senior Class Award nominee Jeb Brovsky went down with an ankle sprain early in Sunday’s scoreless draw against California, the sight was all too familiar for Irish coach Bobby Clark. With senior goalkeeper and team captain Phil Tuttle already sidelined with an injury, Brovsky’s ankle sprain left the Irish (0-1-1) to fight without its two leaders as Brovsky watched the remainder of the match on crutches. The two seniors’ injuries also leave leadership gaps on the field, which Clark said the team will need while the two seniors recover. “We’ve got on-pitch leaders now, and you need that,” Clark said. “Jeb and Phil can provide that off-the-field guidance, but during the game we’ll look to [forward] Steven Perry, [defender] Greg Klazura and [midfielder] Andrew Luttrell, who are all seniors.” Beyond his trio of healthy seniors, Clark stressed that the younger players on his squad will be counted on to step up as the season progresses. “You don’t need to be a senior to lead and set an example,” Clark said. “When I was a young lad coming up with Aberdeen FC in the Scottish Premier League, one of our best captains was 21 years old when he led us to the Scottish Cup title

One of senior Katie Conway’s proudest moments isn’t one listed on her resume. Naturally, it came on the golf course. Not in a college competition, however, but on her home course when she finally beat her dad. “To this day, I’ve only beat him a handful of times, but the first time I did is still one of his proudest moments,” Conway said. Conway began playing golf at the age of 11, when her dad, who she deems “a golf pro,” habitually brought her into work with him where they would spend the day on the course, playing and learning with every stroke. As she grew in her skills and academics through middle and high school, Conway started the long college search, waiting to feel like she was in the right place. Visiting U. Notre Dame on a football weekend four years ago, Conway knew she had found that place. “The passion of the alumni and the spirit embodying the entire campus was exactly what I was looking for, and I knew I wanted to be part of the tradition,” Conway said. Although Conway was drawn in by the spirit, campus and tradition familiar to many who come to Notre Dame, she has made her time on campus her own story

Saint Mary’s heads into today’s match against No. 15 Illinois Wesleyan with a 0-3 record. In each of this season’s three games, the Belles have started off strong but failed to follow through in the second half. In the team’s opening game of the UW-Oshkosh Women’s Soccer Invitational against Carthage Saturday, the Belles battled through a back-and-forth first half to go into the break scoreless on both sides. The second period was a different story as Carthage went on a three goal scoring stretch. The Belles gave a similar performance Sunday against the host Titans. After going into the half at 1-1, Saint Mary’s gave up three more goals and only scored once to end defeated 4-2. “We’re disappointed we didn’t keep the scores a little closer over the weekend,” Belles coach Michael Joyce said. “We are still giving up some soft goals, ones I think we can avoid.” The Belles will face a challenging opponent in Illinois Wesleyan today

For the first time in a few years, more than just the Golden Dome was shining on a football Saturday at U. Notre Dame. Under new head coach Brian Kelly, the Irish showed a new attitude and a greater focus to detail than what has been seen under recent coaching regimes. They tackled, ran the ball effectively and had some bright spots on special teams — three aspects that were rarely seen during the 16-21 stretch over the past three seasons. It was a step in the right direction for a university that has been desperate for football success since the end of the 1993 season. With a coach as accomplished as Kelly (172-57-2 during his time at Grand Valley State, Central Michigan and Cincinnati), there are many reasons to believe that Notre Dame could once again join the elite of college football. But one game or even one season does not determine the future success of the program. Irish fans have been down this road before, anointing Tyrone Willingham and Charlie Weis the saviors of Notre Dame football after impressive starts (8-0 and a 9-2 regular season, respectively). But for each coach, initial success was soon forgotten due to recurring failures.
