Two photos by Upchurch made into one.

I've been spending much of the last week going through last year's photos by Eric Upchuch (ChewerD on the site) to find the good stuff for this year's HTTV. Ninety-five percent just gets deleted, several hundred make it to folders I can access for various players and stuff. Then there's the shots and sequences that I can't, for whatever reason, use in the book but can't in good conscious throw out. So here you go.

NOTRE DAME:

You know those guys who stick their heads in lions' mouths? We've got a cameraman who'll stick his lens inches from Jake Ryan. Peer into the soul of the Viking.

Here are some photos from the game. I was disappointed that I didn't get a better shot of the Roundtree catch. I happened to be looking through my 400mm lens at the time. The play ended up happening in front of me and what you see here is the only part of the play that ended up in the frame.

I apologize for posting this so late. I meant to do it earlier, but my 2 year old daughter decided to do a swan dive off of the couch and break her arm. First haircut and first broken bone in the same day, not bad.  

Big thanks to Heiko for manning one of my cameras and taking the majority of the photos below. Enjoy!

IGOR!

Brian had to sign his name well over 400 times yesterday. This photo was approximately number 50. He was very excited!

Tacopants was in the house..He shot this photo.
