Blue-Gold Game

The Blue Team (the offense) beat the Gold Team (the defense) in the latest Blue-Gold Game, which took place on April 18th. The score was 68-33, although the scoring system is improvised in order to allow the defense scoring opportunities even when they don’t actually have the ball- such as during an interception.

Jimmy Clausen, Dayne Crist and Nate Montana (son of Notre Dame legend Joe Montana) all got to take snaps. While Clausen threw an interception leading to a defensive touchdown and Crist was only 4-10, Coach Charlie Weis did take away some positive developments from the game.  It’s best to get the kinks out months before the season begins. There’s still a long time to work on accuracy.

Robert Hughes, Jonas Gray and Armando Allen all got double digit carries in the first half, with Allen ending with the best per-carry average. Hughes had two TDs in the first half. Those in attendance were able to see receivers like Kyle Rudolph and Golden Tate.
