Today in Opponent Attrition: Domer Secondary edition - washingtonismoney - 06-08-2012

Unfortunately for safety Austin Collinsworth, he will be out for the upcoming season to injury. Fortunately for us, the Domer secondary appears to be nearing the stage where a scarecrow would be an effective backup. I believe they have all of four scholarship corners?

per a Rivals 2012 depth chart, ND has 5 CBs but with 0 starts between them.  Safety is not a strength either.  Zeke Motta, one of the expected starters, was a former recruit of ours.  plan here, or what I've been told, was his speed was great for LB.

and just for Redrum and his ND schadenfreude, a funny pluck from a ND football site on the Collinsworth injury:

"Mouth's reaction:

Well, this is certainly a blow to Irish depth at safety. All indications from the coaching staff are that Collinsworth had a very-good-to-breakout spring. Given Notre Dame's lack of experience and depth at safety in the wake of Harrison Smith's departure for the NFL, this is certainly a blow. I'm probably more concerned than others at One Foot Down about freshmen Elijah Shumate and Nicky Baratti stepping right into meaningful minutes at safety, but I am hoping that Danny McCarthy can show why he was the more-highly-touted of the McCarthy boys coming out of high school.

NDNation reaction:

NDNation no longer recognizes Notre Dame Football as an entity, and thus completely disavows the existence of Irish Football, Austin Collinsworth, Chris Collinsworth, NBC, and the planet Earth. Yet NDNation still professes hatred of and for said entities, corporations, and planets, and maintains that this portends another 8-5 records, perpetual mediocrity, and continued NDNation schadenfreude.

Notre Dame's Ministry of Truth, I mean, Athletic Department's Reaction:

Beloved Comrade Collinsworth is totally healthy and not-injured, and he is only visiting Cuba to see his good buddy Comrade Castro, and not to undergo life-saving surgery."
