ESPN Talks UND Running Back Situation

ESPN’s Brian Bennett wrote an article recently about the Notre Dame fullback situation. With Armando Allen set to be the No. 1 tailback in the Notre Dame offense, a former top-rated recruit will have to move to a secondary role. Fighting Irish fans have gotten to know James Aldridge as the go-to in the backfield for a few seasons, but in his senior year he’s supposed to give the choice snaps to Allen. Did he whine and complain about being demoted? Not a chance. Aldridge wants to help in any way possible. According to the story, Aldridge said:

“A lot of people wouldn’t want to make that move. But I was open for a change… My ego went out the window a long time ago. It really did. I came to a point of my life where I just go with the flow. I felt really good about the situation, so I jumped on it as fast as I could.”

Check out the article and then look for some tickets to see the two tailbacks in action this season. Will they get a chance to tear up the USC front line? Let’s hope so!
