BK on Mike Sanford as a head coaching candidate: "Mike obviously understands...there's a time and place for it".
Said they've talked.

 

[beryirish]

BK: His focus is here at Notre Dame...He's not affected by the noise. Says Sanford knows name will come up as well as the other coaches know their names will be thrown around.

Mainly talk about Syracuse HC.

 

[beryirish]

Notre Dame will practice at Junipero Serra HS on Friday

Mainly talk about Syracuse HC.

Am I misunderstanding or did BK specifically say he and Sanford talk about the Syracuse HC job?

 

[beryirish]

BK on McCaffrey: When he gets the ball in his hands, he turns a 4 or 5-yard completion into a big play.

 

[beryirish]

Am I misunderstanding or did BK specifically say he and Sanford talk about the Syracuse HC job?

Wasn't mentioned specifically per BK but through the writers.

 

[beryirish]

BK: Russell had shin splints going into the game. Explosive tackle caused fracture. Surgery yesterday, rod and screws put in.

 

[beryirish]

BK notes Devin Butler started vs. Stanford in 2014. Said he'd like to see Butler, Nick Watkins and Nick Coleman play Saturday.

 

[beryirish]

Kelly said Notre Dame has added more reps for Dexter Williams each week and will again during Stanford prep.

 

[beryirish]

Kelly on Torii Hunter Jr. as a two-way player. "it's still part of what we're doing and our nickel package."

 

[beryirish]

BK" Deshone Kizer's potential this season: "He's just scratching the surface."

 

[beryirish]

Kelly asked whether he anticipated turnover totals would increase with aggressive defense like opp. big plays have: "We're still evolving."

BK: Still evolving defense and working to build defense. Feels transition with BVG's scheme is what he expected.

 

[beryirish]

Defensive growth: "We're not there yet, clearly...we're gonna get better."

 

[beryirish]

BK: Didn't hear players complaining about lighting at Fenway. Admits it was "very bright."

 

[beryirish]

Stat for Fortuna: Notre Dame has given up 40 TD drives of 75+ yards in last 24 games. They had 0 in 2012 regular season.

 

[beryirish]

BK: great players rise to the occasion in big games. Names Will Fuller, Jaylon Smith, and Sheldon Day.

 

[beryirish]

BK on teams resiliency. "I think what I like about them the most, they're not a bunch of whiners."

 

[beryirish]

BK said the Notre Dame-Stanford rivalry should get more national attention. "We gotta make up a name."

Said it doesn't have a name like Bedlam, Iron Bowl, etc.

BK: "I think it's up to (media) to come up with a name so we can get in with the in crowd. It's pretty much the media's fault." - jokingly

 

[beryirish]

BK mentions that CJ Prosise is in a walking boot and is day-to-day

 

[beryirish]

BK said ND will practice Thursday morning, have a meal and get on a plane around 5pm. Then practice Friday and "settle in."

[Sherm Sticky]

Someone rep this man please.

 

[BeauBenken]

Someone rep this man please.

Already did. Don't worry.

 

[irishff1014]

Stanford is 7-6 at home against ND.

 

[ulukinatme]

Does anything bad ever happen when we launch it to Fuller? It's either a drop, a TD, or a pass interference. I don't think we've had any interceptions.

Thanks for the jinx

No shit what a douche move Koon.

It's the way he rolls!

Don't worry, he already jinxed us earlier in the week by saying "How long till Urbie hires Sanford away?" Two jinxes cancel each other out, right?

 

[beryirish]

II: Stanford had gone 16 straight games without a 100-yard rusher. Since then Christian McCaffrey has hit triple digits in nine straight.

 

[NDdomer2]

Defense is going to give up yards.

It's about getting in 3rd and favorable and redzone D.

Get off the field and keep it to fgs.

 

[Luckylucci]

II: Stanford had gone 16 straight games without a 100-yard rusher. Since then Christian McCaffrey has hit triple digits in nine straight.

Yea he's a different player than what they've had at RB recently.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

FEI predicts an Irish loss:

11/28 .585 Stanford 32-29 Notre Dame

But the model isn't confident in it at all.
