A NIGHT OF HORRORS – NO. 2 WOLVERINES MAKE IRISH PAY FOR PENALTIES WITH 5-3 HOCKEY VICTORY By John Fineran SOUTH BEND, Ind. – A pair of major penalties turned Halloween into Friday the 13th for Brock Sheahan’s Notre Dame hockey team in its Big Ten season opener against No. 2 Michigan.

By Paul Condry and Matt Kopsea Rylee Biddle definitely does not lack confidence in himself “My greatest strength is by far my drive and determination along with my intelligence,” explained the East Noble High senior quarterback and defensive back. “I feel like with how smart I am (3.97 unweighted and 4.26 weighted grade-point average), I'm always one step ahead of my opponents and have a very good idea of what they are trying to accomplish.” Since getting a chance to contribute in the secondary (two interceptions and two caused fumbles) as a freshman, the 5-foot-11, 160-pound standout has certainly backed up his words. “My drive to be great is on another level,” Biddle...
