Stanford statistical leaders through 11 games

The Irish can’t lose to this team, right?

Stanford is trying to salvage something out of its season. Even its win over Coach Prime and Colorado has become lessened by the fact that Buffaloes turned out not to be much better than the Cardinal. A victory over Notre Dame would by far be the signature of their season. That won’t be easy though.

There are a few talented players on the Cardinal, but they only can do so much to make up for their shortcomings. For instance, the offense lives off the pass to the point where the quarterbacks actually are the top rushers. For our purposes though, we’re discounting them in that category for this listicle. That alone should speak volumes about the Cardinal.

It’s no surprise that a team with this many shortcomings has dragged the Irish to the dying Pac-12 Network for its final live football game. If it somehow pulls off the upset, here are the players most likely to factor in:

Eagles’ regular season countdown: Every player to wear No. 93 for Philadelphia

With Eagles training camp quickly approaching, we’re looking at every player to wear the No. 95 for Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Eagles will kick off their 2023 regular season against the New England Patriots on Sept. 10, now 77 days away.

From now until the start of the season, we’ll be counting down each day by revisiting the players who have worn that specific jersey number.

No. 93 is worn by third-year defensive tackle Milton Williams, who’ll look for double-digit sacks for the second straight year.

With less than 90 days until kickoff, here’s a look at every player to ever wear No. 93 for the Eagles (via Pro Football Reference):

Former Boston College, Colorado State Running back David Bailey commits to Texas A&M

Former Colorado State running back David Bailey will reportedly transfer to Texas A&M after five seasons with Colorado State and Boston College

BOOM! Texas A&M has landed their second transfer portal commitment in the last two days as former Colorado State running back David Bailey has officially committed to the Maroon and White after five seasons with the Rams after head coach Jimbo Fisher broke the news at the Houston A&M Club on Monday night. With an extra year of eligibility remaining, Bailey’s sights are on College Station to help aid an Aggies offense in what will hopefully be a 360-degree turnaround after their tumultuous 5-7 2022 season.

During his five seasons at both Boston College and Colorado State, Bailey ran for 2,413 yards on 549 carries and 26 rushing touchdowns with a 4.3-yard per carry average. As one of the go-to offensive options on nearly every down, Bailey’s 2022 season came to an end after entering the transfer portal in early October, looking to join an instant contender in his final collegiate season.

For those unaware, David Bailey is a between-the-tackles power back who wants nothing more than to run over a linebacker in the open field if the defensive line can’t do their job, and man oh man, what a perfect fit in the Aggies backfield going into 2023. Bailey will join the other three running backs including junior Amari Daniels, sophomore Le’Veon Moss, and freshman five-star Reuben Owens, all possessing different skill sets, but none quite as powerful as Bailey.

Congratulations, David! Gig ‘Em!

Notre Dame at Boston College: Third-Quarter Analysis

There were moments in the third quarter when it seemed Notre Dame might start bending.

There were moments in the third quarter when it seemed Notre Dame might start bending. But for almost every play like that, there was one that showed Boston College which team was in charge. Even if you didn’t see any of those, all you have to do is look at that 38-23 Irish lead after three quarters.

Phil Jurkovec began the second half by leading what looked to be a productive drive for the Eagles, primarily because of his arm. Though he got his offense to the Notre Dame 9-yard line, it was stuffed on fourth-and-1. The Irish’s offense also looked poised to drive the field for its first possession of the half. Ben Skowronek’s 31-yard reception nearly made that the case, but Josh DeBerry forced a fumble that was recovered by Max Richardson. Not to worry because Jack Kiser promptly picked Jurkovec off and gave his team great field position.

C’Bo Flemister made it his mission on this drive to really make his mark on this game, although he had one score already. He caught an Ian Book pass that he took for 27 yards all the way to the Boston College 1. It only made sense for Book to give the ball right back to him and finish what he started, which he did for his second touchdown.

You can’t count the Eagles out yet, though. Jurkovec led a drive that nearly ended prematurely on a interception, but he got right back to it when that pick was wiped out by a face-mask penalty. This time, he mixed up the run and pass a lot more, and it worked. David Bailey ran for a 3-yard touchdown, so the pressure on the Irish to finish remains.

Tale of the Tape: Leading Rushers – Kyren Williams vs. David Bailey

Notre Dame and Boston College feature two running backs, one on a higher tier than the other.

Notre Dame and Boston College feature two running backs, one on a higher tier than the other. Kyren Williams is on the higher one, coming off a game in which one of his three touchdowns came from 65 yards out. He continues to be reliable at reaching the 100-yard mark and remains decent at catching the ball. He has shown no signs of slowing down and might even be improving.

That’s not to say there are few praiseworthy attributes about David Bailey. His numbers are about on par for someone who doesn’t do a whole lot with their opportunities compared to someone like Williams. The question is whether he can play a factor if the Eagles are to repeat history and upset the Irish off a win over a top-ranked team. There’s not a lot to suggest that will be the case, but as Irish fans will tell you, anything can happen after their team seemingly gets one step closer to the mountaintop.
