Notre Dame Vs Syracuse NJ 12:00 PM Noon ESPN
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me ’till I’m sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There’s someone in my head but it’s not me.

Brian Kelly, now 7 years into the job is feeling the insidious need to win. This mindset fried a lot of former ND coaches including Frank Leahy, Ara and Dan Devine – Most of them simply broken by health issues, all related to winning games. 10 years was it for them – Devine bailed early.
Now I direct your attention to a bizarre Brian Kelly presser whereby he just about proclaims himself to be the Caesar of this team.
“I’m in charge!! Both offense and defense – it’s me, my plan, my coaching – the others better just do what I say and follow my plan. I’m going to play just about everybody on the bench. I’m tired of fooling around.
His problem is the Baylor warp speed offense that Syracuse runs – you know the wideouts spread so far out, they look out of bounds.
Dreary day for ND as players are blasted by the uptempo Syracuse offense and their own defensive confusion. Also Kizer has 3 sacks. It really is over now.
