Among the freshmen Notre Dame is unlikely to use in a game this season in order to preserve an extra year of eligibility are first-year quarterbacks Zach Frazer and Demetrius Jones. “You get into that gray area,” coach Charlie Weis said. “I’m not going to be in a hurry to play either one of those guys.” With freshman running backs Munir Prince and James Aldridge having been used in recent weeks, running back-turned-linebacker Travis Thomas is less likely to get carries. “The door’s still open, but there’s less of a need,” Weis said.
