Who's up next?

Jarron Jones
Heading into Saturday’s match-up with Michigan State the Irish are starting to come into focus as a team, offense / defense and individual players.  Some players are playing as expected and there are some that we are looking forward to seeing take that next step this season, hopefully Saturday.

Durham Smythe
Jarron Jones.  He obviously still has “it” with a blocked kick and an interception.  He needs to get more snaps on defense, that would be a VERY good, fresh legged 1 -2 punch with him and Cage, especially against the run.


Durham Smythe.  I don’t expect to see him develop into an early round draft pick or be the second coming of Kyle Rudolph BUT I think he can play a leadership role and be more impressive than he has been.  1-2 catches a game with a couple of touchdowns this season while being a very solid blocking end would be good enough for me.

Jay Hayes.  I know that Jay Hayes is hobbled right now but the Irish need him and I want to see what he can really do.  If he can get 100% he should be a solid contributor for the Notre Dame defense.

Josh Barajas and Asmar Bilal.  I’m not sure exactly what it is about these two that intrigues me.  It might be that they are very probably the future of the Notre Dame Linebacker corps and like Greer Martini last year where we need to start seeing what they might be able to contribute.
