| Irish lean on Tate to make big plays
Tate was also used as a running back and took the snap in the Wildcat formation against the Boilermakers. The creative uses of Tate produced good results against Purdue. Along with his five catches for 57 yards, he ran for 57 yards on nine carries with a touchdown. Tate also returned a punt for 16 yards. Golden really played his butt off last week and did everything he could to help the team, receivers coach Rob Ianello said. We are just trying to maximize our playmakers on offense, whoever they are. I think that is what you should be doing as an offensive staff. The absence of Floyd and running back Armando Allen (sprained ankle) against Purdue landed Tate at running back. Tate played the position in high school and was recruited as a running back by Notre Dame.
Wellesley armed and dangerous in opener against Weymouth gridders
The reason for the change is a three-year starter at quarterback Brendan Brooks and he has a couple of talented receivers including 6-2 Casey Tanner. "This is a very dangerous opponent," said Mackin. "They have a lot of team speed and some very talented players. They are a high risk threat." "We have to stay disciplined on defense and do our jobs. This a very scary team that can strike fast." A year ago Weymouth's running game helped them play keep away especially in the second half from Wellesley. Weymouth was led by P.J. Bonarrigo's 212 rushing and he scored two touchdowns to lead the Wildcats to a 22-13 win over Wellesley. The Raiders made life tough for Weymouth for most of the game with passing combination of Brooks and Tanner completed 10 passes between them for the game.
Mum in third Race for Life says helping beat cancer is so rewarding
A UNIVERSITY lecturer who lost her grandmother to lung cancer said she had signed up for a 10k run to "help fight a horrible disease". Jill Hanson will be running in her third race for Cancer Research UK when she takes part in the run at Kedleston Hall later this month. The mum-of-one entered her first fund-raiser, a 5k Race for Life in Aberdeen, as a way of losing weight after giving birth to her 18-month old son, Alexander Pumford. But the 33-year-old also said her family and her life had often been touched by cancer, including the death of her grandmother, Irene, 78, nine years ago. And, in 2003, her mother's stepmum, Janet Burns, died in her 70s of breast cancer. .
