UNDER THE DOME
"I'm telling you, if he doesn't have 50 catches this year, I'll be
surprised because he's going to have opportunities and he's very
talented at it. I think he's going to play that [Darren] Sproles role,
for sure." — Detroit Lions backup quarterback Dan Orlovsky on
former Irish running back Theo Riddick having the potential to
produce like Darren Sproles, who has starred as a running back
that could catch and run while also contributing on special teams
during his NFL career
"Oh, it's a lot different. I look at it like this: You play to your side.
[In 2012], the defense was our strong side, so we were a little more
conservative — running more, in I-formation, play action, that stuff.
Now, we're going to be more open, more spread option — and we
have the tools do it." — Senior quarterback Everett Golson on how
the Irish offense will look different in 2014 (ESPN.com)
"First of all it's great for the team. You have two guys and when
they step out on the practice field you're going to have to get their
best or else they're not going to have a job. I felt like last year,
we really didn't have an option to go to but for Tommy [Rees]
when it came to throwing the football. I thought we were a little
bit short in that area. Now you've got some guys who can really
get it done. Anytime you know that there's somebody out there
that wants your job, if you don't raise your level, then you don't
deserve to have it anyway." — Former Notre Dame quarterback

Bend Tribune)
