Irish's scrimmage last Saturday. “Number two, I would probably have to say is the depth on the front seven, particularly at linebacker. And then I would have to say the secondary.” Davie’s worries arise from a 1999 sea­ son marred in mediocrity. A year ago, the Irish yielded an average of 27.6 points and 383.7 yards per game. In a winless November, their statistics went south, cul­ minating with a 40-37 loss at Stanford. In that game the Cardinal gained 472 total yards with 385 coming through the air. After losing safeties Dcke Cooper and A’.lani Sanders to graduation, the sec­ ondary looks to reload with seniors Tony Driver (free safety) and Ron Israel (strong safety) slated to start as of Thursday. At the corners, Williams will start alongside either Clifford Jefferson or Shane Walton, who are competing for the right corner- back nod. The Irish will face three of the nation’s top quarterbacks this season in Nebraska’s Eric Crouch, Purdue’s Drew Brees and USC’s Carson Palmer. “The writers don’t know the talent we have at corners, ” Williams said. “I’ve watched a lot of film on a lot of corners and I don’t think there are too many teams out there with the corners we have.” Other personnel concerns include nam­ ing a backup at drop linebacker. As of Thursday, starting inside linebacker
