Floyd is in Good Company

Believe the hype, Michael Floyd is going to one of the all-time greats when he finishes his career at Notre Dame. Although he only had one catch in his debut last Saturday against San Diego State, it was a huge reception on many levels.

~ First off, Floyd's 22-yard touchdown reception tied the contest going into halftime and gave the Irish some momentum heading into the locker room.

~ Floyd became only the second freshmen in Notre Dame history to score the first touchdown in a new football season. The other was fullback John Browner, who ran in a score against Boston College in Notre Dame's 17-3 victory in 1975.

~ In the last 20 years, only three different freshmen besides Michael Floyd made their first career reception a touchdown. This short list includes the likes of Rocket Ismail, Derek Brown, and Derrick Mayes. Not too shabby of a list to be mentioned with for Mr. Floyd.
