Here's Coach Kelly's Sweater From Last Night


If you're like me -- you thought the sweater that Coach Kelly wore at last night's game was quite sharp.  Well, I searched the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore website and found it.  Here's a link to their website and the specific Adidas sweater the Notre Dame Coaching Staff wore against Boston College on ABC last night:

The Fighting Irish's Head Coach, Brian Kelly -- met with the media today for a little more than seventeen minutes.  He took their questions concerning last night's 31-13 win over Boston College. Here's a link to an AUDIO recording of this conversation.  Kelly also sat down with UND.COM's Jack Nolan for their weekly Sunday conversation -- here's a link to that as well:

Jimmy Clausen Throws First NFL TD Pass!

 

Former Notre Dame QB, Jimmy Clausen -- threw his first NFL TD pass today against the Super Bowl Champion New Orleans Saints.  Clausen's TD pass went for 55 yards to the Panthers' RB Jonathan Stewart.  He stepped up in the pocket and threw a strike!  Congratulations Jimmy!  I trust it will be just the first of many for Clausen in a Carolina Panther uniform.  For the game -- Clausen was 11-21 for 146 yards in their 16-14 loss.  His Passer Rating was 90.6 which was just higher than the Saint's Drew Brees who's rating was 90.2  (Photo on left is Clausen celebrating TD pass with Stewart, photo on right, Clausen has the ball he threw for the TD).   Here's a link to the video to Jimmy's TD pass -- a moment he'll never forget!
