Virginia Tech 34 Notre Dame 31

Notre Dame QB Kizer dazzled in the first half in what will be his last game in Notre Dame Stadium. By the end of the game he was like a crumpled up old dishrag. He took hits galore especially in the 2nd half when the Notre Dame offense went into a catatonic state producing only 7 points in that half to VT’s 20.

In what originally looked like a blowout, VT came back to register 14 points in the 2nd quarter, still behind 24-14 but that was it for the Irish. They crumbled in the 2nd half and VT had a good time battering Kizer.

Inexplicably the Tech staff made adjustments while ND did not, either on offense or defense. I think that’s what coaches are supposed to do.

Notre Dame went 3 and out 5 times in the 2nd half and the “O” coaches had no clue on how to handle VT’s adjustments. The ND defense looked tired and bewildered as the game wore on – these guys really aren’t in very good shape, in my opinion.

Kudos to VT QB Jarod Evans, man is he a punishing runner. They have a big FB and Evans just tucked in behind him.

It’s not known if Kizer can go against USC. If he can’t this game could break all scoring records against ND in school history.

Kelly is going to have to really shake up his staff, but where do you even start? I’d start with Kelly.
