LIGHT RAIL: Three blocks from Union Station! Several people, including seniors, have commented that the walk from Union Station to Tom’s Watch Bar is very easy:
And now for the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech:
IRISH NEWS
From a news standpoint, it was a big week for the Irish, both good and bad. Starting cornerback Benjamin Morrison was ruled out for the season with a hip injury. He will have surgery and will not be back to Notre Dame. Since he is projected to be at least a second-round NFL pick after the season, he has likely played his last game for the Irish.
That said, true freshman Leonard Moore has been playing at a very high level and is expected to step into Morrison’s shoes with little drop-off. That said, depth is becoming a huge issue at cornerback.
You may also have heard that we had lost a big recruit to Auburn – Mississippi quarterback Deuce Knight – a couple of weeks ago. Well, we were able to flip a quarterback from Clemson this week named Blake Hebert (“Ay-bear?” “Hee-birt?” “Hay-bert?” I will follow up and get back to you). He is a high three-star or low four start QB.
We also picked up a four-star offensive lineman who ought to be quite good.
