Another day, another Notre Dame player named to Watch List

Each day right college football is announcing which players are included on watch lists for various awards. So far Notre Dame players to be mentioned for one or more awards are Kyle Hamilton, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Ian Book, Aaron Banks, Liam Eichenberg, Jarrett Patterson and Drew White.

I should have welcomed you to the season last week but I failed to. I now feel like an usher at Notre Dame Stadium who doesn’t greet you with “Welcome to Notre Dame”.

It’s Watch List Season, friends.

Now add another name to the list as senior place-kicker Jonathan Doerer has been named to the 2020 Lou Garza Collegiate Place-kicker Award Watch List that goes to, get this, the nation’s best kicker.

Doerer has made 62 consecutive PATs, the sixth longest streak in program history. His 45, 52 and 43 yard field goals against USC in 2019 helped earn him game ball honors in the 2019 win.

Doerer finished the 2019 season making 17 of 20 field goal attempts and finishing with 108 points, including 16 and 15 point performances against Boston College and Iowa State, respectively.

Many wondered how Notre Dame could replace the very accurate but lacking power, Justin Yoon in 2019. Doerer thrived his first year as the full time kicker and should be seen as a bright spot for Notre Dame entering 2020.

11-2. It wasn’t what we all wanted but it’s a lot better way to spend the evening of December 28 than 10-3 would have been.

Can we get to August already now?

Notre Dame Game Ball Awards for Camping Bowl Victory

He played like a man whose hair was on fire and dominated all afternoon, a great momentum builder for a 2020 season where his and team expectations will be sky-high.

Notre Dame steamrolled Iowa State 33-9 on Saturday, wrapping up an 11-2 campaign that saw them win reach that win total for a second year in a row for the first time since the 1988-89 seasons.

It may not have been the bowl game Notre Dame players, coaches or fans wanted but it was what they were handed and they dominated Iowa State for really the entirety of the games sixty minutes.

With the 33-9 win there were plenty of great performances to be seen but here are who won our game ball awards at Fighting Irish Wire for their play in each phase of the game.

No. 16 Notre Dame Blasts Boston College: 5 Instant Thoughts

Hamilton went from a relative-unknown as a recruit as little as 14 or so months ago. By the time he actually enrolled in school some outlets had him as Notre Dame’s highest ranked recruit in the class and his instant-impact isn’t going unnoticed.

Although the first half was closer than most would like, the final score was a rout as No. 16 Notre Dame improved to 9-2 on the season as they beat up Boston College, 40-7, as four scores, three being field goals in the first half turned into four scores with three being touchdowns instead in the second.

The win completes a second-straight undefeated season at Notre Dame Stadium and gives the Irish a great chance at their third 10-win season in a row, something that hasn’t been done since 1991-93.
