90 ✦ BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED 2018 FOOTBALL PREVIEW BY TODD D. BURLAGE I magine, for a moment, basking on a beach under the hot Hawaiian sun, re- laxing with friends, not a care in the world one second, wondering if the world is coming to an end the next. Such was the reality for Notre Dame senior Jerry Tillery and more than a mil- lion others when at 8:07 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 13, a statewide emergency alert pinged every cellphone on the Hawaiian islands with a message that an incoming ballistic missile was heading their way. Remember, this nightmare took place when tensions ran high between North Ko- rea and the United States, and the threat of nuclear warfare seemed quite real, especially in the Pacific region. Residents and tourists were advised in the message to seek shelter and that, "This is not a drill." Tillery paced all Irish linemen and ranked sixth on the team with 56 tackles (nine for loss) in 2017. PHOTO BY ANGELA DRISKELL
