Former Notre Dame lineman Jurkovic diesSportsbooks - Online Sportsbook, Casino & Racebook
Chicago, IL (Sportsbooks) - Mirko Jurkovic, a defensive tackle who played for Notre Dame on its last national championship team, died on Wednesday.
The Chicago Tribune reported that the 42-year-old Illinois native lost a 28- month fight with colon cancer, passing away at St. Joseph's Medical Center in Mishawaka, Indiana -- one town east of South Bend, where Notre Dame's campus is located. Jurkovic was a freshman defensive tackle on the Irish's 1988 squad, which bested West Virginia for the title. He later switched to guard and also participated in two Orange Bowls and a Sugar Bowl before graduating. A ninth-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 1992, Jurkovic suffered a knee injury which derailed his rookie season and he never played in the NFL. January 9, 2013, at 07:45 PM ET |
