What's New
:: Notre Dame junior wide receiver John Goodman moves into the co-#1 slot with Notre Dame freshman wide receiver T.J. Jones in one of the WR positions.
:: Notre Dame freshman wide receiver Bennett Jackson moves into the #1 slot as a kickoff-returner. Jackson made a stir as a kick-off gunner against Purdue, then moved into the depth chart as a kick-returner against Boston College. Against the Eagles, Jackson helped Notre Dame blast out of the gates with a 21-0 first quarter by returning the opening kick-off to mid-field. The big return helped get momentum going early, and, more importantly, helped set up the scoring drive on Notre Dame's first possession.
:: Big Notre Dame senior heavy-halfback/former fullback Robert Hughesremains in the #2-slot at running back.
