Giving each honoree his due, the chapter used an interview technique rather than allowing the scholar-athletes speeches. The result: 57 interviews completed in less than one and half hours. The chapter, led by President Jim Lofdahl, believes the format gives the audience an appreciation for each individual scholar-athlete. Sam Lagana, associate vice chancellor at Pepperdine University, served as the emcee, keeping the event moving with swift and insightful interview questions. The crowd of 485 people also had the opportunity to hear from Notre Dame College Football Hall of Famer and 1964 Heisman Trophy winner John Huarte, who gave the keynote 1964 Hiesman Trophy winner John Huarte visits with address.

Two of the chapter’s scholar-athletes have earned scholarships to Huarte’s alma mater: Joseph Fauria, a TE from Crespi Carmelite HS and Dayne Crist, a QB at Notre Dame HS. The chapter distributed a total of $5,000 in scholarships, and Raul Jacobo of Reseda HS won the Most Improved GPA Award and a $1,000 scholarship. As a freshman Raul posted a 0.19 GPA, but he turned the corner through perseverance, determination and several new role models that were lacking. He now owns a 3.2 GPA.

  • Notre Dame Football Postgame Notes (At Pitt)
    NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL POSTGAME NOTES (AT PITT) TEAM NOTES With the loss, the all‐time series against Pittsburgh now stands at 47‐21‐1 in favor of the Irish, snapping a three‐game Notre Dame winning streak. At 69 meetings, it is the fifth‐longest series in school history, trailing only Navy (87 games), Purdue (85), USC (85) and Michigan State (77). The Irish slip to 11‐2 in the month of November under Brian Kelly. Tonight is just the fifth loss for the Irish in their last 32 games (27‐5). With the loss, Notre Dame falls to 424‐138‐15 all‐time when ranked and 19‐8 as a ranked team against unranked Pittsburgh teams. The Irish now stand at 134‐56‐3 against current ACC teams all‐time. The loss snaps a steak of 10 consecutive wins for Notre Dame in games decided by a touchdown or less. That was the third longest such streak in the nation since 1980 and the longest active streak in the nation. ND’s last loss in a close game was an 18‐14 loss to Florida State in the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl. The Notre Dame defense forced nine punts tonight, the most it has forced this season and the best over since forcing Wake Forest to punt 10 times on Nov. 17, 2012 in Winston‐Salem. The Irish offense had five plays of at least 33 yards tonight. The previous high this year was three done against both Temple and Air Force. Turnovers have proven critical this fall for the Irish.

  • 'Crazy Train' Derailed
    Tuesday, October 25, 2011 The Observer | ndsmcobserver.com Notre Dame 17, USC 31 ‘Crazy Train’ derailed Despite raucous Notre Dame Stadium, Irish drop to 4-3 with 31-17 loss to USC By SAM GANS Sports Writer With Notre Dame’s biggest rival coming to town, the first home night game since 1990 and the debuts of brand-new gold Irish helmets and piped- in stadium music, the stage was set for one of the most an- ticipated games in Notre Dame Stadium in years. But it was USC who finished with more points for the ninth time in 10 seasons, walking out of South Bend with a 31-17 victory. The Trojans (6-1) got off to a fast start against the Irish (4-3) by forcing a Notre Dame three-and-out on the game’s first drive. USC then marched 66 yards on its opening pos- session, which culminated with junior quarterback Matt Barkley finding freshman tight end Randall Telfer alone in the end zone for a 2-yard touchdown pass with 6:16 re- maining in the first quarter. After another Irish three- and-out, Barkley again drove the Trojans down the field and connected with sopho- more receiver Robert Woods on a 3-yard strike to push the USC margin to 14-0, leaving the once-frenzied crowd in a stunned silence. The first 15 minutes ended at that score, with USC hold- KIRBY McKENNA/The Observer ing a 128-14 advantage in total Irish senior receiver Michael Floyd walks off the field during Notre Dame’s 31-17 loss to USC on Saturday night.
