Spring football is moving into full gear, and all around the country, schools that failed to post double digit wins in '08 are postulating why their team will be the team in '09. Looking back on the past two springs, however, Irish fans should know that positive projections in April don't always lead to a successful September.
That being said, it still feels good to hear good things about your team in the spring. Here are a few articles that are predicting some good things for the 2009 squad.
From Scout.com:
- The defensive backfield looks to be as good as advertised.
- Ethan (Johnson) is an elite talent. Enough said.
- A person would be hard pressed to find a more impressive group of Tight Ends than the four on the Notre Dame roster.
- This offense is good enough to win several games without utilizing the running game.
- Barring injury, the current corps of receivers at Notre Dame will be remembered as, without question, the most prolific group in school history.
- If you look at the postseason awards the past two years you'll notice that no Notre Dame player has even been named as an honorable mention All-American. That drought ends in 2009.
- "I'm not saying they are LenDale [White] and Reggie [Bush]. I think Robert could be better than LenDale. Armando has another gear, but I don't know if it's that Reggie gear." - Weis
- But the possibility exists that after two years of saying goodbye to the BCS, it will be time for Notre Dame to say hello.
