UNDER THE DOME
"To be quite honest, I didn't really watch Notre Dame at all, just
a couple games [growing up]. ...My dad was in my ear about it. I
knew they were pretty good and I watched 'Rudy,' but I kind of
had to get my background to Notre Dame." — Sophomore wide
receiver Torii Hunter Jr. on his exposure to Notre Dame during the
recruiting process
"I feel I'm a lot farther along than when I first got here. I under-
stand the game a lot more and I'm older and more mature. … I feel
like I'm a big part of the team like I was last year. Everyone has a
role they have to play, and we'll see how far we can take it." —
Sophomore cornerback Cole Luke
"In regards to [Louis Nix III and Stephon Tuitt], they both played
better two years ago. I think that's clear to everybody. They both
played a lot lighter two years ago. I think that's clear to everybody.
I think it's a mystery to everyone why they were heavier this year."
— ESPN NFL analyst Jon Gruden on former Notre Dame defensive
linemen Stephon Tuitt and Louis Nix III during a conference call
leading up to the NFL Draft
"We're very, very aware of the seriousness of the incident. …
We've done our due diligence as far as making sure that we felt
very comfortable with making that decision. Only glowing endorse-
ments from the university." — Atlanta Falcons general manager
Thomas Dimitroff on accusations of sexual battery tied to Prince
Shembo, whom the Falcons drafted in the fourth round
