Daily Roundup

Back at home tomorrow for the Irish.

Around the country, Ohio State looks to roll against Penn State, Maryland is struggling at NC State, but most notably Alabama has jumped out to a huge early lead against #1 Florida. 24-7 Tide at time of writing. Obviously, the upset would be huge for ND's tournament resume. Hopefully 'Bama can hold on to win and pull off another victory against Kentucky on Saturday.

Rumor has it that Russell Carter will sit the beginning of the game tomorrow. Some reports mentioning that Russ was late to practice. I think Tom Noie pooh-poohed it as time off due to injury. Either way, should see Hillesland in the starting 5 tomorrow.
