Notre Dame Team Preview ‘08

Luckily for you ESPN.com has decided that it will showcase some college football team previews for free, though they would normally be in the paid-for “Insider” section. ESPN usually does a pretty fair assessment of each team, though you can’t help but question some of their predictions, and more than a few people consider large media outlets like ESPN to be easier on teams that are in a bigger market. ESPN has teamed with Blue Ribbon College Football Yearbook for this assignment.

Anyways, you can judge for yourself when you take a look at the 2008 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team preview. It is rather extensive and exhaustive, and we could probably take a number of blogs going through and analyzing the analysis of each position and aspect of the upcoming season. So what grades did the Irish get? You might be surprised to find out that despite losing a lot of offensive weapons, the Irish were given a B in that category.

Special Teams got an A, Defense got a B+ and Intangibles got a B+ as well. Not bad. Things look promising for those of you who have gotten Notre Dame Fighting Irish tickets at StubHub.com.
