Notre Dame Football Practice Observations | 8.12

A day after South Bend and Michiana were hit hard by storms, the Irish got in a morning session under much cooler temperatures than last week. 

Notre Dame was also in full pads, so there was a little pep in the air as the players walked out of the Jack and Kathy Shields Family Hall.

Several players, including Christian Gray, Francis Brewu, Armel Mukam and Jaiden Ausberry, took time to pray or gather their thoughts as soon as they stepped on the practice fields.
