IRISH NEWSLINK: “Done deal: Notre Dame, Wisconsin will clash at Soldier and Lambeau fields” – Chicago Tribune

Lambeau Field will host in 2020, Soldier Field in 2021.

IRISH NEWSLINK: “Notre Dame Football’s Backfield is LOADED in 2017” – uhnd
“For all of the consternation over Brian Kelly’s preference for a passing game, Notre Dame has actually had a few years under his tenure where the Irish were a bonafide running team. Think 2011, 2012, and 2015. With an experienced offensive line that looks like it could be one of the nation’s best, the Irish have the kind of backfield needed to be a running team again this year. In fact, Notre Dame’s backfield is straight up loaded this year. …”

“When it comes to discussing Notre Dame’s 2017 offensive line, the conversation generally steers into two directions. One is whether the left side with graduate student/tackle Mike McGlinchey and senior guard Quenton Nelson — both consistently placed in the first round of 2018 mock drafts — comprises the best in the nation. The other is right tackle, where fledgling sophomore Tommy Kraemer has won the job as the one new starter along the line from 2016 and is Notre Dame’s highest ranked recruit from the past three classes. And then there are seniors Alex Bars and Sam Mustipher at right guard and center, respectively. …”

“The Temple quarterback spot is far from settled, and presumably all four candidates are still in the running to start the opener Sept. 2 at Notre Dame, but one who continues to make strides is freshman Todd Centeio. … a 6-foot-1, 205-pound dual threat from William T. Dwyer High School in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., who enrolled at Temple in January, and has at the least made a favorable impression on his teammates. …”

“Notre Dame football mourned the loss of one of their program greats … as they began fall camp.
