Brian Kelly, Newslinks

Q. Couple questions about Drue Tranquill. Surgery next week to ten days?

COACH KELLY: I asked that question this morning, and probably closer to two weeks. I think Rob Hunt, our trainer, would like to rehab him a little bit first before we have surgery.

Q. I don’t think Max Redfield played yesterday; was that because of his injury or because of the option?

COACH KELLY: Both. You know, we had made a decision that Elijah would be playing, chiefly be middle of the field for us. And then obviously when we went to two-safety look, it was Drue and Matthias’s position. So Max was backing up Elijah Shumate.

So Elijah played very well, and he was in a backup position because of the opt

What’s the best way to usher in a new starting quarterback against a top 15 opponent?

A smothering defensive performance helps. A career-high outing from the starting running back wouldn’t hurt, either.

No. 8 Notre Dame got both in a 30-22 victory Saturday against No. 14 Georgia Tech in front of 80,795 fans at Notre Dame Stadium.

The Irish have a running game. The Irish have a nasty defense. The Irish have a dark-horse Heisman Trophy candidate. That’s more than enough for Notre Dame to make a run with redshirt freshman quarterback DeShone Kizer, and there are more-than-enough chances left on the schedule to prove it.

Isaac Rochell couldn’t remember when his body ached so much.

And someday maybe the Notre Dame defensive lineman will look back, and the indelible takeaway will be how much that didn’t matter.

No. 8 Notre Dame’s 30-22 smothering of 14th-ranked Georgia Tech Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium — the dominance vandalized by a late, flailing burst of Yellow Jacket offense — didn’t reek of upset, but rather a big-picture big step.

Notre Dame safety Drue Tranquill sustained a right knee injury while celebrating a pass break up just before halftime against Georgia Tech.

Coach Brian Kelly said it was too early to know how bad the injury is, but that he wasn’t optimistic. Notre Dame already has lost four starters, including quarterback Malik Zaire and running back Tarean Folston, to season-ending injuries and another player who was expected to contribute.

No. 14 Georgia Tech couldn’t fix its mistakes fast enough against eighth-ranked Notre Dame.
“It was like popcorn. One guy you’d get fixed, then the other guy would mess up,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said. “Against good players, you can’t have missed assignments.”
The Yellow Jackets closed to 30-22 when Patrick Skov scored a pair of touchdowns on passes of 24 and 15 yards from Justin Thomas in the final minute after A.J. Gray recovered the onside kick by Harrison Butker. But Notre Dame’s Torii Hunter Jr. recovered a second onside kick try to end Georgia Tech’s hopes.

Brian Kelly’s evaluation of DeShone Kizer’s first start?

“Good. There’s a lot to get better,” the Notre Dame coach said of his redshirt freshman quarterback after the Irish’s 30-22 victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday.

And safety Drue Tranquill’s right knee?

“Doesn’t look good,” Kelly said, adding Tranquill will undergo an MRI on Sunday. “We’re not optimistic at this point.”

NEWSLINK UND.Com: TRANSCRIPT: Notre Dame vs. Georgia Tech – Post-Game Quotes

Brian Kelly, Newslinks

Hear from the coaches and players following the Irish win over Georgia Tech.

COACH KELLY: Obviously my staff, coaches, I thought we had a very good plan. Our players executed it and beat a very good football team in Georgia Tech.

All those things have to come together when you’re playing a team like Georgia Tech, in particular a team that is prolific offensively.

I think our defensive plan was outstanding. I think our team executed it up until maybe the last couple of minutes where we probably lost a little bit of our focus. But all in all, just a tremendous performance by our football team.

Overcoming a lot offensively with a freshman quarterback going in there, playing well, DeShone, opportunistic offensively. Running the football effectively when it was difficult at times to run the football.

It was a program win today. Having to overcome injuries, playing a very good football team in Georgia Tech this early after two very difficult teams.

Really pleased with the way our kids executed in all areas.

So with that I’ll open it up to questions.
