The rebuilding of Notre Dame Stadium is nearing completion with the brand new jumbotron getting closer to lighting up with beautifully stunning replays every day. It’s been a nearly three year construction project that we will finally see in all it’s glory this fall. The reconstruction of the Notre Dame defense officially began a few weeks ago under the guidance of Mike Elko and while it might not be a three year project like the the Campus Crossroads, this spring is telling us it won’t happen over night or even over this spring either.
Spring football practice is always about teaching fundamentals, getting young players who were deep on the depth charts ready for prominent roles, and finding replacements for the players that are hoping to hear their names called in the NFL Draft – or in Notre Dame’s case sometimes headed to Capitol Hill.
