3 Verbal commitments for men's basketball head coach Mike Brey after under-the-radar 6-7, 185-pound Ontario native and guard Nikola Djogo came aboard Oct. 15. Djogo joins West Orange (N.J.) Seton Hall Prep guard Temple Gibbs Jr. and Altamonte Springs (Fla.) Lake Brantley forward John Mooney in the 2016 recruit- ing class. Djogo, who plays with seven-foot five-star center Thon Maker at Mono (Ontario) Orangeville Prep, chose the Irish over offers from UNLV, Pennsylvania, Winthrop, Northeastern and East Tennessee State. Notre Dame will continue to pursue Maker and Austin (Texas) St. Stephen's Episcopal five-star center Jarrett Allen to possibly round out the class. Look for a more extensive feature on Djogo in the next edition of Blue & Gold Illustrated, after the Oct. 31 Temple game. 6-1 Record under sixth-year Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly after a bye weekend as it heads into the Oct. 31 game at Temple. The victories came against No. 15 Utah in 2010 (28-3), Miami in 2012 (41-3), USC and BYU in 2013 (14-10 and 23-13, respectively), and Syracuse and Navy in 2014 (31-15 and 49-39, respectively). The lone defeat was to USC in 2011 (31-17). 65 Combined plays for Notre Dame through the first half of the season during its 5-1 start that gained at least 12 yards rushing or 20 yards passing. The Irish had 40 such runs and 25 such passes. Only the prolific offenses of Baylor (74) and TCU (66) have more. 69,176 Seating capacity of Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles and Temple Owls. On Oct. 13, Temple announced that its Oct. 31 football game against Notre Dame is sold out. This is the second sellout of the year for the Owls, with the first being the season-opening 27-10 win over Penn State Sept. 5. It's the first time that Temple has sold out two home football games in a season since moving to the South Philadelphia Complex in 1976.
