I hope this is highlighted during the BCSCG. Academic accomplishments from the players is my favorite individual honor. I was more proud of Greg McElroy and his Rhodes finalist than any AA award that year. Same with Barret and this.
I thought the same thing.I thought Notre Dame was supposed to be the "smart" team.
i had no idea that MIT has a football team.great job barrett! in case anyone is interested....
