Snowy Conditions for Sunday's Game

[Reginald Rutledge]

Since we've got 70 degree weather here in Texas, I have to take this game inside to get the weather conditions I need!

Here is what the stadium will look like tomorrow night in South Bend for the Tennessee/Notre Dame Game. It should make for interesting situations.

I even show Franny-Boy (Frank Jacobs) running down the field on a pass route. Frank Jacobs was one of the best tight ends in the nation out of high school coming out of Highland Hts., KY. He lettered from 1987-1989 but was in the mode of great tight ends from Irish past such as Dave Casper. He went into Notre Dame as a pass-catching phenom and was promised by Lou Holtz that this would be an vital role in the Fighting Irish offense. That did not happen as plan but I remember Franny Boy to be a great team player on one of the greatest college teams ever.

On my Irish team, he will be a pass catching TE who will be in isolation plays against the Volunteers. Look for a great game Sunday!

2. The Irish come out in the power I. They audible into a split backfield. Vols counter with Wilson going over to the left side.
Rice back to pass. Complete to Ricky Watters. The VOLS react with Carter and Grant in deep zones. The play is ran. Watters is chased down from behind with a gain 10 yards.

3. 1st and 10 for the Irish. Johnson in the 1 back. He shifts to the left side of the formation. The VOLS counter with Wilson going over to that side. Rice in the shotgun and back to pass. Jackie Walker on the blitz but Rice has a man open. Pass intended for Watters who had just broken coverage but because of the pressure, Rice had to deliver early.

4. Irish in the offset I. Handoff to Ricky Watters. Great block on Henderson by Tim Ryan, #52. Watter breaks free. The VOLS react after the 10 yard rule. Vols miss him and he runs down to the VOLS 48 for a first down!

5. Great run on that last play by Watters. I thought he was gone for a score.
6. Irish start off in the power I. Rice goes back in the shotgun formation. They audible into split back formation. VOLS counter with Wilson going out to cover.
