NC State 10 Notre Dame 3

The only people dumber than the ND coaches are the idiots sitting in the pouring rain watching a God awful demonstration of football.

Brian Kelly let everyone at home know that it wasn’t him that lost the game but his Center who he lambasted on the sidelines for way too long. Then to prove he was still coaching he called a timeout with 13 seconds to go proving absolutely nothing.

I actually was pleased with our Defense. They certainly hit hard and for the most part played very hard. They continue to have tackling problems – yes #23 and over running plays but overall they are getting better. I think they like playing for the new DC.

The OL continues to be dreadful. They cannot run block and they backslid on pass protection. It was only the rain and sloppy field that stopped State’s DL from decapitating Kizer.

When it rains you should be pounding the ball north/south but ND would rather run east/west and gain that 1 yard.

The ND staff showing off their coaching prowess lined up for a rugby punt with 2 blockers but the punter said the hell with that he’s kicking the old way. It was blocked for the game winning score. He almost kicked his blocker 83 right in the ass.

So Kelly had, once again, a befuddled look during the press conference — sorta like — “what’s going on here, this shit doesn’t happen to a guy as smart as me?”.

The coaching staff did learn one thing. It’s never a good idea to pass in gale force winds and a torrential downpour – put a star next to that in the playbook.

Here is the Brian Kelly post game press conference:
