The folks at Fighting Irish Digital Media have been featuring a number of the position groups for the 2014 edition of Notre Dame football and today they looked at the QB's -- during the team's first time in pads on the new Field Turf at the Stadium.

It was also announced earlier today that Everett Golson would be the starter against Rice -- he met with the media and his session is linked below as well:

Oklahoman Protestant Pastor's "Like for ND"


Found this today on the official blog of Notre Dame Athletics -- it's a piece written by a Protestant preacher by the name of Lance Ward from Oklahoma.  Lance who was raised to dislike Notre Dame for breaking Oklahoma's 57 game winning streak -- many years ago...

However, as you'll see in this post -- Pastor Ward had a change of heart after visiting the Notre Dame campus for last year's game with Oklahoma.

Thanks Lance!
