This Southern Cal team is capable of it, too. But I don't think they will. I just think Notre Dame really has a good shot at them.

The Sisters of Notre Dame at St. Aloysius Grade School influenced my life tremendously. This was due to the fact that they encouraged you always to make sure that God is the focus of your life, and they didn't allow you to do anything except to the very best of your ability.
I've followed Notre Dame football since 1946, when I listened on the radio and Johnny Lujack tackled Doc Blanchard in the open field to preserve a 0-0 tie.
Notre Dame is the one school that has a national recruiting base, from Florida to Texas to California.

The University of Notre Dame does not redshirt, and I endorse that policy completely. I am very much in favor of redshirting, but not at Notre Dame. But there's no doubt about it. It puts us at a huge disadvantage.

I have no desire at all to become the winningest coach at Notre Dame. The record belongs to Knute Rockne or some other coach in the future.

I've said this all along, I don't know how good we can be because I haven't played anybody on our schedule. But at the same time, I look at it and say - 'We don't have anybody on our schedule that we've beaten that last three years,' ... So, I don't know how we compare to everybody, but I think with the way this team is working, they have chance, at least, to be competitive.
I should have put 'em on a bus. They got home in four hours, rather than four days.
