Notre Dame’s tight end Will Yeatman will not play this Saturday against the Purdue Boilermakers. This could help us a lot because he is one of the best blocking tight ends in college football and Notre Dame needs all the help in the world to get their running game going; being ranked 111th, averaging 78 yards a game. This could be the decision factor of of the game against Purdue as long as we play well. Anyways before I went off on that tangent, Will Yeatman was arrested on charges of consumption of alcohol by a minor and resisting arrest after being caugth at a party. This arrest brings a key factor because less than a year ago he was arrested for drinking and driving but was told if he did not get in trouble for a year the only charge that would stay on his record would be the wreckless driving charge. So this could bring up the drunken driving charge which may mean that jail time could be a possibility, which then in turn would ruin his chances of playing football.
Coach Weis said, "As you go through growing pains you try to educate and teach and let them know that you weren't perfect going through the growing experience yourself. You just try to educate them as best as you can and give them as much guidance as you can,"
He said he talks to the team regularly about alcohol and other societal issues.
"I'm not here to play judge and jury. The most important thing is for me to look out for the interests of the kids and the team and the university," he said. "I have to try to have those to mutually coexist peacefully and do what's in best interest of all three."
This being said Will Yeatman could be in for some troubling times ahead and being that he is the second string tight end for Notre Dame, they are in a deep hole having to play a player who was not even supposed to play this season but as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross says, "I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime"

Hopefully, having him out of the game will help Purdue come away with a victory. The addition of the quotes in this article really helped. It helps to give a perspective of everyone, and not just you(not meaning that you have a bad perspective). It is nice to hear what people like the coach have to say about the future of one of his players. I also like the statistics of his previous record, because it helps show what kind of damage he may/may not have done to his future as a Notre Dame player. This was a good article.
