As much as tackling and coverage and pass rush all played key roles, Irish coach Brian Kelly had maybe more interest in ensuring his players enjoyed themselves. … That’s what comes from a 50-33 triumph over Syracuse in East Rutherford, New Jersey. … inside the locker room, there was hooting … hollering … dancing. … shouting and laughing. If Kelly wanted his team to find some enjoyment in their hard work and sacrifice, he absolutely saw that reaction on Saturday.
Notre Dame’s win over Syracuse was punctuated by a fast start and explosive offense; a defense that made strides and took care of business, including with tackles-for-loss; and a team effort through the air with receptions by ten players.
… Notre Dame started insanely fast. … less than five minutes into the contest Notre Dame had run four offensive plays and led 23-13. … The Irish generally held Orange receiving star Amba Etta-Tawo in check. …. Kelly wanted his defense to get a sense for the pace and then find a way to settle in — and the Irish did just that. … Notre Dame took over the football game in the third period because the Irish defense held Syracuse to 17, 10, 18 and one yard on the first four Orange possessions after intermission. … the Irish felt like they could shut down the the Syracuse run game — and that happened. … Kizer completed passes to 10 different receivers, Josh Adams quietly and effectively ran for 102 yards of his own (and had 52 receiving yards) — and the defense responded with seven tackles for lost yardage and a Nyles Morgan sack.
