The 2006 College Football season has just official started, with Notre Dame's Media Day held in South Bend today. Weis confirmed the fact that Travis Thomas will have a chance to start at weakside linebacker. Talks between Weis and Thomas over the spring, led to Travis to practice at that position all summer. However, Weis has yet to see him in action, and is just as excited as the rest of us to see what he's accomplished. Thomas will continue to play at the running back position from time to time. Depending on how Aldridge, Prince, and Schmidt (freshmen) do in training camp, Thomas will probably see the number of carries drop if they produce early.
Other news, DJ Hord is out for the season, because of a torn a achilles tendon. Check out the
