The Notre Dame Fighting Irish got a nice wave of good news on Monday when Jerry Tillery and Te’von Coney announced that they were staying for their senior year. It felt like a blessing from the gods after the news that had been coming out of South Bend for the past few weeks.
How big is this? What exactly does this mean for the Irish defense in 2018?
We will cover a lot of specifics in the coming weeks in terms of position groups and the unit itself, but I want to take just a moment to discuss the immediate impact these decisions will make on the Irish defense and the team as a whole.
