The defense struggled on their opening series, but made some game-changing plays and held Nevada to just 300 yards. … after a first 20 minutes that was as forgettable as any from last season, the Irish’s talent took over, a victory inside Notre Dame Stadium that leveled the team to 1-1 …. what we learned. … The loss of Shaun Crawford will be felt on and off the field. …  The defense woke up and made some plays. … DeShone Kizer is the engine of this offense. … With Equanimeous St. Brown and C.J. Sanders, the Irish have two young, dynamic talents at receiver. … Kelly will keep rotating backs, but Josh Adams is quickly establishing himself as a workhorse.
