Battle ran for a net three yards in the scrimmage. Yeah, you re reading it right, no typo, three yards. Now, I guess we start looking toward the four incoming quarterback recruits. Most notable is Carlyle Holliday, who the Irish pulled away from Nebraska just before signing day. In all fairness, the spring game means very little and we all know it, but come on.
Spring is supposed to be a time of hope for the college football fan.
I wanted to believe, even just for few months, that Jackson s shoes would be well filled. Battle may turn out to be a great Irish quarterback, maybe another Tony Rice or Kevin McDougal. Right now though, that s not what we ve seen, so we ll just have to find our own unfair, unfounded, and unrealistic hope. That s what the spring game is supposed to be about. Rest assured, if the hope thing doesn t work out, Davie s already working on a list of excuses.
