Sept. 1 .......... 19 ................ 16 Among the returning players on this year's Irish roster are a pair of preseason first-team All-Americans in senior linebacker Courtney Watson and senior cornerback/kick returner Vontez Duff. Watson, who also was a Butkus Award finalist in 2002 and is a candidate for the honor again this season, led Notre Dame with 90 tackles last year despite missing three games due to injury. Meanwhile, Duff is widely regarded as one of the most explosive all-around players in college football after becoming the first player in school history to return a punt, kickoff and interception for a touchdown last season. Like Watson, Duff is a candidate for postseason honors, having been named to the ’03 Jim Thorpe Award Watch List. Washington State (1-0) kicked off its 2003 campaign last Saturday with a 25-0 shutout of Idaho in a game played at Seahawks Stadium in Seattle. WSU running back Jonathan Smith carried 16 times for 160 yards and two touchdowns, and kicker Drew Dunning booted four field goals as the Cougars won the debut game for new head coach Bill Doba. In the victory, Washington State rolled up 339 yards rushing, their highest output on the ground in 10 years, and finished the game with 466 yards of total offense. The Cougars are one of three teams on this year's Irish schedule that reached the ’02 Bowl Champion- ship Series. WSU posted a 10-3 record last year and advanced to the Rose Bowl, where it lost to Okla- homa, 34-14. Saturday's game will be the Cougars' first-ever meeting with Notre Dame. 2003 FIGHTING IRISH FOOTBALL PAGE 1 SEPTEMBER 6, 2003 NOTRE DAME VS.

    July 13, 2017 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Steve Richardson [email protected] 214-870-6516 2017 BRONKO NAGURSKI TROPHY WATCH LIST UNVEILED DALLAS (FWAA) — The 2017 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List boasts 103 defensive standouts from all 10 Division I FBS conferences, including four returning players from last season’s Football Writers Association of America All-America team. Christian Wilkins, a defensive tackle for defending national champion Clemson, and Florida State defensive back Tavarus McFadden are the only 2016 FWAA first-teamers on the list. Two other 2016 second-teamers – Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver and Virginia linebacker Micah Kiser – are included along with NIU defensive back Shawun Lurry, a 2015 First-Team FWAA All-America player. The Atlantic Coast Conference led all conferences with 20 players on the watch list, followed by the Big Ten (16), SEC (14), Pac-12 (13), Big 12 (11), American Athletic (10), Sun Belt (6), Mountain West (5), Independents (3), Mid-American (3) and Conference USA (2). The list includes 30 defensive backs, 29 linebackers, 25 defensive ends and 19 defensive tackles, all vying for the award representing college football’s best defensive player. Players may be added or removed from the watch list during the course of the season.

If not already on the watch list, each week’s honored player will be added at that time.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Erik Arneson, FOX Sports Wednesday, Sept. 21, 2016 [email protected] VERSATILE FOX SPORTS BROADCASTER KENNY ALBERT CONTINUES TO PAIR WITH BIGGEST NAMES IN SPORTS Boothmates like Namath, Ewing, Palmer, Leonard ‘Enhance Broadcasts … Make My Job a Lot More Fun’ Teams with Former Cowboy and Longtime Broadcast Partner Daryl ‘Moose’ Johnston and Sideline Reporter Laura Okmin for FOX NFL in 2016 With an ever-growing roster of nearly 250 teammates (complete list below) that includes iconic names like Joe Namath, Patrick Ewing, Jim Palmer, Jeremy Roenick and “Sugar Ray” Leonard, versatile FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Kenny Albert -- the only announcer currently doing play-by-play for all four major U.S. sports (NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL) -- certainly knows the importance of preparation and chemistry. “The most important aspects of my job are definitely research and preparation,” said Albert, a second-generation broadcaster whose long-running career behind the sports microphone started in high school, and as an undergraduate at New York University in the late 1980s, he called NYU basketball games. “When the NFL season begins, it's similar to what coaches go through. If I'm not sleeping, eating or spending time with my family, I'm preparing for that Sunday's game. “And when I first work with a particular analyst, researching their career is definitely a big part of it,” Albert added. “With (Daryl Johnston) ‘Moose,’ for example, there are various anecdotes from his years with the Dallas Cowboys that pertain to our games. When I work local Knicks telecasts with Walt ‘Clyde’ Frazier on MSG, a percentage of our viewers were avid fans of Clyde during the Knicks’ championship runs in 1970 and 1973, so we weave some of those stories into the broadcasts.” As the 2016 NFL season gets underway, Albert once again teams with longtime broadcast partner Johnston, with whom he has paired for 10 seasons, sideline reporter Laura Okmin and producer Barry Landis.
