Know Thyelf, Know Thy Enemy: Quarterback

June 10, 2014 by Bayou Irish

Today, a mere eighty or so days from the opening kickoff against Rice, we begin our third season of "Know Thyself, Know Thy Enemy..." In this series, we will analyze the best Irish player at a given position or position-group and compare him to the best our enemies have to offer. Frankly, I love this series because it forces us to look outside our little bubble of camaraderie and Field Turf and into a whirling maelstrom of Wolverines, Trojans, Seminoles, and Tree.

The “Know Thyself, Know Thy Enemy” series continues today with tight ends – one of the easiest positions to choose for the Irish, and one of the most difficult positions to pick out for Notre Dame’s opponents.

Manti is everything we could have wanted in a leader at Notre Dame. Thoughtful and considerate off the field, putting his ...

Know Thyself, Know Thy Enemy: Quarterback

July 31, 2012 by Ryan Ritter

As we wind down the "Know Thyself, Know Thy Enemy" series, we come to the most hotly debated position on the Irish: Quarterback. While I've been rather consistent in my stance of "anybody but Tommy", I haven't yet stated who I would start as the QB. Kieth Arnold over at Inside the Irish got me thinking about this even earlier than I planned to when asked to rank the top 25 Irish players on the roster. As I did that exercise, I decided to rank everyone on where I think they are skill-wise ...
