UNDER THE DOME
"I know defensive guys, realistically, can essentially only hope to
get invited to NYC not to actually win it. But since we're talking dark
horses, we'll mention [Jaylon] Smith. The Irish should have their
most talented team in a generation, and Smith is their best player.
A few years ago, Manti Te'o came in second for the Heisman and
Smith (112 tackles, nine tackles for loss) is better than Te'o." — FOX

"All we had a chance to say was, 'Hello' and 'How you doing?'
But we did not have a chance to talk any further. … He's going to be
back up here after the spring game, and I'll get more of a chance
to spend some time with him. He was short on time, he had to get
back to Chicago for a prior commitment … I think what we'll try to
really get some clarity on is what his intentions are academically
more than anything else. [There are] things that he'll have to take
care of in the summertime just to get the ball moving for his ability
to be reinstated." — Irish head coach Brian Kelly on Ishaq Williams
attending Notre Dame's March 31 pro day, and his future status
with the program
"I think he's worn down a little bit now. I think he's a freshman,
and he's starting to get a little bit tired, but he's still executing at
a high level. Maybe not quite the twitch and the quickness that
he had early in camp, but he's still playing with good leverage and
playing good football. He's maybe just slowing up a little bit." —
