1. The Notre Dame defense made progress … 2. Back to work. … Kelly made good on his promise to play more people, as an amazing 27 players were credited with tackles …. forcing nine Syracuse punts — four times on three-and-out …. 3. What a wild start. … five consecutive touchdowns to open the contest — and Notre Dame’s DeShone Kizer had thrown bombs of 79 yards (on the first play from scrimmage) and then 67 yards to sophomore Equanimeous St. Brown within the first four minutes of the game. Throw in C.J. Sanders’ 93-yard kickoff return — and Notre Dame accounted for three TDs in less than five minutes to open the action. … Kizer already had 356 passing yards by halftime …. 4. DeShone Kizer is a dynamic player. … ranked fifth nationally in passing yards per completion (16.49), third in yards per pass attempt (10.38), sixth in passing TDs (14), ninth in passing efficiency (175.4), 12th in passing yards (1,567) and even 19th in rushing TDs (six). No Irish quarterback has ever participated in a Notre Dame victory and thrown for as many yards (471) as Kizer did Saturday. … 5. Some normalcy now returns. A win over Syracuse doesn’t solve everything, but at least Notre Dame this week in preparation for North Carolina State can seek some sense of routine again. …

“The Notre Dame offense did struggle on third down, which sounds strange considering that their first effort here resulted in a 67-yard touchdown pass. The problem was that after that, they managed to move the chains just two of the 11 remaining times. Plus, their one fourth down effort near the goal line failed. The worst effort in this category had previously taken place in the loss to Michigan State.”

…. Kizer, who has ascended to the top of most NFL draft analysts’ lists of the top draft-eligible quarterbacks next spring, went 23-for-35 and threw three touchdown passes in the win. His 465 passing yards was the third-highest single-game mark in program history —J oe Theismann holds the record of 524—and the 6-foot-5, 235-pound signal-caller rushed for another score too. … [Kizer] threw for 356 yards in the Irish offense’s 30-point outburst in the first half. But Irish coach Brian Kelly was more impressed with Kizer’s second-half performance …. ‘I thought what I liked about him in the second half is he dropped the ball down, took the easy completions, made the smart decisions and I think he needs to continue to do that. …’

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.

IRISH NEWSWATCH: “Why Notre Dame fans have no reason to panic; The Irish didn’t just beat Syracuse Saturday. They took a major step in the right direction in doing so” – Fox Sports

NewsWatch, Notre Dame Football News
Saint Joseph's Lake with Golden Dome and Basilica of the Sacred Heart in the Distance

Fox Sports noted improvement and a greater sense of urgency in Notre Dame’s defense in the Irish victory over Syracuse.

… It wasn’t a perfect performance … that’s OK. Saturday proved Notre Dame is still a work in progress, and there’s nothing wrong with that. … the Irish’s much maligned defense looked, well, better on Saturday. … after giving up 13 points in the first five minutes, they calmed down and relinquished just 20 the rest of the game. … The Irish defense played with a renewed sense of urgency … They held Eric Dungey to 60 percent passing and Syracuse as a whole to just 3-of-15 third down completions. They blocked two PAT attempts. And if you watched closely, the guys on the field seemed to play their hearts out for new defensive coordinator Greg Hudson.

The Notre Dame offense is said to have the potential to be one of the most lethal units in college football.

… the offense … showed just how explosive they can be. DeShone Kizer was phenomenal, throwing for 471 yards, and showing why he is quickly moving up NFL Draft charts. Josh Adams and Dexter Williams added a formidable ground threat with over 180 yards combined on the ground, and it was nice to remember how well Torii Hunter Jr. and Equanimeous St. Brown complement each other at wide receiver when fully healthy. If everyone can stay on the field, this remains one of the most lethal units in college football.

Notre Dame has had a lot of changeover in personnel from last year, including six players going in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft

It’s important to remember that the the Irish are still a painfully young team — a team that lost a lot of key pieces off last year’s club … Keep in mind the Irish had six players selected in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft …

… Notre Dame defensive players, bullied on the field and bashed off it for the first four weeks of the season, single-mindedly pushed for new defensive coordinator Greg Hudson to sing the Fight Song in the jubilant postgame aftermath of Saturday’s 50-33 subduing of Syracuse …. ‘He brought an energy to the team, a new type of leadership,’ Notre Dame middle linebacker Nyles Morgan offered. ‘And guys really bought into how he coaches and what he coaches.’ … But the question that lingered and mixed with the euphoria … was all about sustainability. …

Brian Kelly is looking for Notre Dame to tap into a number of players to contribute.

‘We’ve got a lot of depth,’ Kelly said. ‘We’ve got a lot of really good players that deserve to get on the field, and that’s the kind of defense this is going to be. There are going to be a lot of players playing in this defense. There’s a lot to do, but I thought it was a good start.’

…. A firing. A defensive overhaul. A 1-3 record. A crisis of confidence and execution. … the Irish persevered. … As the top executive in the Notre Dame athletic department, athletic director Jack Swarbrick had a vested stake in the upheaval. Kelly said he came to Swarbrick with his decision to fire VanGorder …. ‘My message, publicly and privately, is the (football) program is in great shape,’ Swarbrick said after the victory. ‘When there are big program problems, that’s harder to deal with. When you just have to start playing as well as you can, it’s a narrower search. “How do we fix that?” My basic message (after the firing) was: 90 percent of what we’ve got here is not broken. I’m confident, you should be confident. Let’s focus on the few things that are (broken). They did this week.’

Blue and Gold Illustrated reports on Notre Dame’s defensive improvement against Syracuse, following a change in defensive coordinators.

… though the 50-33 #NotreDame win over Syracuse … featured plenty of room for improvement on defense, it was a step in the right direction. Syracuse’s high-powered offense started fast …. But some halftime adjustments proved crucial, and the Irish limited the Orange to just six second-half points. … Kelly fired third-year defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder before preparation for Syracuse’s uptempo offense started. He was pleased with the team’s response. …

Meanwhile, Notre Dame quarterback Deshone Kizer had a strong first half, but Brian Kelly looked for improvement in some of Kizer’s situational decisionmaking.

Offensively, junior quarterback DeShone Kizer had another career day for the Irish. … 23 of 35 passes for a personal-best 471 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. … though Kizer put up huge numbers en route to a 33-27 halftime advantage — he had 170 yards and two touchdowns through the game’s opening period — Kelly said he liked his quarterback’s second-half performance even better. ‘He has a tendency to want to do too much,’ said Kelly. ‘He puts too much pressure on himself. He’s got to stop doing that. What I liked about him in the second half was he dropped the ball down, took the easy completions, made the smart decisions, He needs to continue to do that.’

… Brian Kelly somewhat simplif[ied] Notre Dame’s defense since he dismissed defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder … [he also played] a lot of freshmen. … Troy Pride Jr. became the 13th freshman to play for Notre Dame this season, a high for Kelly since he joined the Irish in 2010. Pride was one of four freshmen in Notre Dame’s secondary at one point Saturday. Kelly vowed to become more involved with the defense during practice to help interim coordinator Greg Hudson. ‘It’s really a short-term approach,’ Kelly said. ‘It’s, “Let’s put these guys in a position to succeed this year, utilizing a lot of young players, gaining experience as we go and being smarter about utilizing our personnel.”‘” … Kelly hopes … it [also] could pay dividends in the future.

On another note, Notre Dame running back Tarean Folston was out against Syracuse after a turned ankle, yet he will be back for North Carolina State.

Kelly said Folston turned his ankle during practice and he’s optimistic Folston, who suffered a season-ending injury in last year’s opener, will play Saturday against North Carolina State. ‘He wanted to give it a shot,’ Kelly said. ‘But he was just not even close to being able to.’
