Only one freshman Irish starter
Eight freshmen started at some point for Notre Dame in 2007, and it did not turn out well. An updated 2008 depth chart released Monday featured eight first-year players but just one starter in tight end Kyle Rudolph. Most of the names represented, auspiciously, added depth. They'll be out there, just not necessarily in direct control of the Irish's fate. "You tell every one of them in recruiting that you'll give them all the opportunity to compete walking in the door," coach Charlie Weis said.

Well lets see... last years guys all were terrible, so I imagine some more of the freshmen will crack in about 2 games in, either that or their recruiting sucked again...

Well the good news is since most played last year they already know how to suck. So they got that going for them!

so the guys who couldn't win last year can't be beat out by the Top 5 recruits you brought in this year but will be on the depth chart because the top 5 recruiting class from 3 and 4 years ago aren't as good as the freshmen that played last year...yep the FIghtless Irish tradition will be returning for another year!

The usual lame comments and stale fat jokes from the "haters." Nothing original here...

Geez, where did this bunch of much-less-than-original morons come from? Even that Charlie joke was better than the next three comments.

Another year in the system will benefit these young players. This was pretty much what I expected. It isn't as easy as some people might think to walk into college football at 18 and start right away. Freshman year is by far the most difficult as an athlete and especially as a student.
