This spring, you’d have probably won some money if you had Sam Mustipher emerging as the No. 2 center. But with Matt Hegarty’s departure and some failed experiments before him, it was Mustipher who was backing up Nick Martin and snapping the ball to Everett Golson in a spring game played on Notre Dame’s practice field.
Of course, there were some shaky moments in the Blue and Gold game. But Mustipher’s ascent has to be looked at as a positive move for the second-year player, a promising recruit who seems to have found a home at the center spot.
