The 38-0 shellacking of Wake Forest and an undefeated home
record was bitter sweet last night. I’m
already mourning the departure of Manti Te’o, Kapron Lewis-Moore and Tyler
Eifert. Te’o with his skills and
leadership is not going to be replaced.
The tight ends waiting behind Eifert are not going to be breaking his
receiving record either. Lewis-Moore was
a leader and spokesperson for the players. I don’t know who will try and fill that huge void.
In my heart I think Cierre Wood will come to his senses and
return for his final year of eligibility.
If not he is a fool. I suspect
Chris Watts and Zack Martin will stick around for their extra year as well. Theo Riddick and Robby Toma will be missed
however guys are waiting in the wings just as good. Braxton Cave quietly went about his business
and it will be interesting if the middle will stay plugged up with someone
else.
2012 was supposed to be a year of improvement and building
toward a 2013 National Championship run.
The schedule was too daunting, the quarterback too green, the secondary
too suspect, the head coach too much of a screamer and the grass playing field
too crappy.
Someone failed to give the Irish that script, instead they wrote their own. Regardless how things turn out come mid
January, we here at the Station are enjoying the ride with some saddness.
Go Irish
