Notre Dame Quote of the Weekend
“I talked about that with my staff. My D-line coach, we went to high school together. We took a buddy’s trip in high school and came to a Notre Dame game. That’s the last time I was here. They had wooden benches with a number on it, and you had to just sit.
“So if you had any type of girth, it was uncomfortable. But going to a Catholic high school in Fort Wayne, and all my buddies are Notre Dame loyalists, but they supported NIU today. I certainly appreciate that.”
— NIU coach Thomas Hammock on attending a Catholic high school and winning a game at Notre Dame.
