… five things to watch:
1.The Notre Dame quarterback situation
* * *
2. Early season improvement

Brian Kelly … put seven first-time starters on the field at Texas, and … there are 10 players missing from last year’s team who now occupy spots on NFL rosters. … Now that the Irish have seen some of their younger, less-experienced players in game situations, at least for a week, it’s easier to make adjustments, corrections and improvement. Expect everybody on the field to have a better feel for his assignment ….

IRISH NEWSWATCH: “Brian Kelly praises Notre Dame safety Drue Tranquill for pushing forward” – South Bend Tribune NDInsider
… two knee surgeries that interrupted Drue Tranquill’s climb into relevance each of the past two seasons apparently haven’t diminished his promise or performance …. According to … Brian Kelly, Tranquill’s benching midway through the 50-47 double-overtime loss at Texas … was all about a mental backslide in the evolution of his role from the last time he took the field in a game …. ‘I don’t think there are any physical limitations,’ Kelly said … ‘It’s the game and learning the game, … He’s not just a downhill, box safety. He’s got to play on the hash. He’s got to play in man-to-man coverage. He’s got to do more than just roll down and be a flat-foot safety making tackles as the extra hat. There’s a little more to it.’
