Tim Hyde on the addition of Chris Smith for Notre Dame
“I like him because No. 1, Notre Dame needs some interior guys. He’s going to play one year; how does this guy hurt your football team? He gives you 20-25 snaps a game to go along with [Howard] Cross, [Jacob] Lacey and Jayson [Ademolola] inside. He’s quick as can be. If he’s a legit 290 and a little bowling ball in there and gives you two dozen snaps per game, it’s great. He’s not soft. He’s not slow. And people need to understand — Ivy League football is good football. People need to keep that in mind.”
