Making The Rounds: Know Your Opponent Part Two

During the offseason we will be posting links regarding opponents for the upcoming football season so that fans can get more familiar with these opponents.  This feature might be changing in presentation in the upcoming weeks, but it will be posted.  Today is part one since there are just under 30 non-conference opponents so check back tomorrow for some more link goodies.

Missouri

Tiger players take the pain.  If you like stats this is it for you Statistically Speaking.

The Ponies are opening up spring practice with two quarterbacks.

Baylor

Robert Griffin is back for Baylor in spring drills after tearing his ACL.  Depth is what the Bears need to get better.

Notre Dame

Brian Kelly gives his spring press conference.  Domers are removing the fullback from the offense.  Is Dayne Crist the next big QB at Notre Dame while Nate Montana is the backup.

San Jose State

Looks to me like Utah has a pretty nice non-conference schedule

Notre Dame, Pitt, Iowa State, looks like they could possibly bust the BCS and go to the NCG if they can go undefeated. They have the schedule they would need to impress BCS voters, and if the SEC Champion doesn’t go undefeated this time.

it is good

Pitt is the only marquee team rankings wise, and ISU did go to a bowl game, and if Notre Dame can be decent that will give Utes a boost in voters eyes.
