4 yards. The real strength of a team is its line, especially on offense. In his time at ND does BK have any track record to speak of when it comes to developing good offensive linemen? Top tier teams get their linemen in the NFL, BK teams can barely compete with bottom tier SEC and MAC schools. Bad decisions and bad coaching is all around. He’s already getting in the head of his QB as he always does. Who changes a QB in a bowl game? All the preparation out the window. BK will never get a national championship with decisions like that.
I remember the ’09 game at the big house. Coach Charlie’s team lost that night but he wasn’t afraid to go for that first down and win the game. Sure he gave the ball back to Michigan with 2 timeouts, both of which they used to win the game, but I was proud of the COURAGE I saw that night.

It’s obvious that Kelly is trolling us. He knows he’s safe no matter what he does. It’s kind of the opposite of the reckless “get used to it” throw into the end zone against Tulsa (IIRC).

But Kelly’s style of offense is definitely not “Notre Dame football.” I just continue to wait for his eventual retirement. Hopefully I will live long enough to see it.

As Kelly said get used to it, as I said get used to it….we should all know the old adage of the definition of insanity..

Don’t necessarily take issue with the bootleg on third down. I DO, however, take issue with every single WR screen to Finke. It’s a throw BW clearly can’t make, and it hasn’t worked, ever. Why do we still call it?

Brian Kelly is the only coach In Notre Dame history that after year 9 says “ I have to coach better” One would think with the new Jumbotron he could take a few peeks up there and see how bad he does need to coach better……somewhere else.

In reply to Greg Bannon. How exactly would we "talk ourselves out of a 10 win season"?

In reply to Jake in Cali. I dunno. I certainly enjoyed the win, but Nagy seems to be running that pass-first spread also. Not sure how much I'll enjoy it in the near term. Now the defense makes me happy in pants. WTF was Gruden thinking letting Mack go??

In reply to Dave. I certainly agree with that. God knows I don't like the offense ND is running, but if that's the offense they're going to run, they have to have a reasonably accurate passer or it isn't going to succeed. Opposing D's will sell out against the run and containing Wimbush, betting his arm can't beat them.

I have never seen such a venomous and un-aligned fanbase. Should we go back to 1960 to talk oursleves out of a 10 win season again? Come on ND Nation.

HI Mike,

Did you see the “great and creative” play calling by Coach Matt Nagy of the Bears
tonight?

He really knows how to use his talent and gets the most out of them..

BK AND CHIP LONG need to take some serious notes!!!
