Notre Dame radio has Pinkett replacements

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) Former Notre Dame stars Mirko Jurkovic and Tim Brown will serve as analysts on the school's radio network the next two Saturdays following the suspension of Allen Pinkett.

Pinkett was suspended for three games without pay for his comments in a radio interview with a Chicago station that teams need bad guys to give them an edge. He missed last Saturday's Navy game in Dublin.

Jurkovic will do commentary on the game this Saturday against Purdue in South Bend and 1987 Heisman Trophy winner Brown will handle the duties the following week at Michigan State.
