UNDER THE DOME
on the team where everybody's competing for a spot is why I would never say that I would just lose
outright to a guy when we're doing the same thing and I feel confident in my abilities and the coaches
that they're going to put the best guy out there. I'm out there every day to prove I should be the guy out
there." — Sophomore quarterback Malik Zaire on his expectation of being named Notre Dame's starting
quarterback
"Because you don't play. You ask your kid why they don't touch the stove, because it burns. It hurts. You
want to play, don't put the ball on the ground. It's a pretty easy concept. That is a huge, huge thing for
me and always has been in my career of coaching. I've been very fortunate with guys that have taken to
that. I think it becomes a badge of honor they carry into the room each week." — Running backs coach
Tony Alford on his players' success with ball security (Notre Dame running backs lost only two fumbles in
2013, the best mark in the country)
