#NOTREDAME #FOOTBALL: “It would be hard for things to get much lower for the Notre Dame program right about now, following last Saturday’s one point loss to Navy, although losing to Army this week would definitely represent the bottoming out of the Irish market. And the question that has befuddled fans for a little over a month now has been what in the world is going on with the offense? It’s been the tale of two seasons, pre and post VanGorder. Prior to VanGorder’s firing, the Notre Dame offense was a formidable force, scoring 40 points a game and tallying 500 yards of offense. Since the firing they’ve tallied 371 yards per contest and 24 points a game. And all of this was done with what most everyone considers to be a first down talent at quarterback.”

#NOTREDAME #FOOTBALL: Another Look:

“Irish coach Brian Kelly deserved some of the blame for this one. Trailing 28-24 with a little more than 7 minutes to go, Kelly opted for a 31-yard field goal instead of trying to convert a fourth-and-4 play at the 14. He made the call even though his defense hadn’t forced a punt all afternoon. …”

IRISH VIDEO: Notre Dame Shamrock Series Uniforms 2016

#NOTREDAME #FOOTBALL: Video from July unveiling Notre Dame’s custom alternative uniforms for this year’s Shamrock Series game against Army — including a Celtic font; a dark, understated forest green; understated burnished gold trim on the uniform; and a somewhat clashing helmet.  (The uniform looks like a stylish moisture-wicking, post-modern t-shirt, while the helmet arguably has a kind of 1970’s industrial equipment look with a tacky glossy finish, perhaps calling to mind background images from 1970’s crime dramas like Dirty Harry or Starsky and Hutch).

IRISH NEWSWATCH: “Notre Dame special teams provide too many ‘head scratchers'”- AP

NewsWatch, Notre Dame Football News
Golden Dome in Bright Sunlight

“… [special teams] miscues have played a major role in why the Fighting Irish (3-5) have struggled. A blocked punt was the only touchdown scored in a 10-3 loss at North Carolina State. The Irish were leading 20-0 against Miami … when the Hurricanes recovered a bouncing punt that ricocheted off Tony Pride Jr., igniting a 27-0 run that included an onside kick, a partially blocked punt and a muffed punt that Miami recovered in in the end zone for a go-ahead touchdown …. Another bouncing punt against Michigan State ricocheted off Miles Boykin, sparking a 36-0 run by the Spartans … a game in which a 100-yard return by C.J. Sanders on the opening kickoff was called back because of a holding call. A 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Duke changed the momentum … Then there was a 74-yard punt return by Syracuse in which a player thought a fair catch had been signaled, a 24-yard punt by Tyler Newsome that set up a Texas touchdown and too many men on the field for a punt against Nevada. …”

IRISH NEWSLINK und: “Brian Kelly Tuesday Press Conference Transcript”

Brian Kelly, NewsWatch, Notre Dame Football Game Day, Notre Dame Football News

“… Obviously, Ken Niumatalolo and what he’s done at Navy has been well documented. This year they’re already beating a top five team in Houston, a team that we know quite well in terms of playing them over my past six years here. A ton of respect for what they do offensively, defensively, and special teams. So it will be a great challenge for our football team.

They just keep — they keep rolling offensively. They lose their starting quarterback. Will Worth comes in and picks up where they left off. You think they lose Keenan Reynolds and there’s going to be a dropoff, but the production has been unbelievable. I think it’s 500 yards per over the last few games, and 40-something plus, and they’re throwing it even better than they’ve ever thrown it with a multiple offensive formational set. So it’s a challenge for us and one that, you know, obviously will test us. …”

IRISH NEWSLINK South Bend Tribune/ND Insider: “Taking stock in Notre Dame’s perception and realities”

Uncategorized
Notre Dame Stadium Facade

“… Notre Dame seventh-year head football coach Brian Kelly’s reality is that the balance of the 2016 season, including Saturday’s triple-option test, really does matter. The equally important world of perception screams that it’s already about 2017. The worn coaching adage dictates Kelly take one game at a time, and — at the very least — one season at a time. But the 3-5 record he brings into the 90th-annual clash against Navy (5-2) as a 6½-point favorite necessitates an eye in both seasons and both worlds, perception and reality. …”
