Irish's Wood Running More Than Mouth

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame hasn't had a 1,000-yard rusher since Darius Walker did it in 2006. That history doesn't faze Cierre Wood.

"I'm trying to get 2,000 if I can," he says.

Wood has never lacked for confidence. But now he's got the game to go with the talk. And that could lead to big things for the Irish running game this season.

Last year, he was forced into a starting role in midseason after Armando Allen got hurt. Wood, a junior in class who did not play as a freshman, averaged over 82 yards per game and nearly 5.5 yards per carry in Notre Dame's final four games. Not coincidentally, the Irish won all four.
