Who was that big name former Notre Dame Center we brought in. Seems he was damaged goods at the time.

Jeff Faine, one of the worst Cs for 3-4 years until we signed him; made no sense.

Luigs is still the big, "what if?" He won the Rimington, was a good-enough size and was athletic-enough that he played on KO coverage teams. His only extended time at C was against the Bears and he did fairly-well.

Then he hurts his knee in '10 and his career is over. It would've been nice to see if he could've held down the fort when Cook went down and then if he WAS good enough, perhaps we wouldn't have had a revolving door?

Ifs and buts...
