Kelly couldn't live with him myself if we got a ground game going again
But hey stay with your fact free narrative if it suits your objectives
rushing than ND.
All 3 had more rushing attempts per game than ND.
ND led in avg per carry and ypg.
After 4-5 games of dominant running, Kelly started saying we needed to be more balanced. We started passing a lot more, and stopped running as much.
There are legitimate beefs about the types of runs we called this year, but your description is just objectively incorrect.
In the sixth game, Notre Dame ran 57 times for 341 yards. In the seventh game, Notre Dame ran 47 times for 377 yards. In the eight game, Notre Dame ran 54 times for 318 yards.
I didn't look up the date of the quote and what game number it was - but it appeared that planning a consistent run game stopped immediately after Kelly said he wanted to pass more. That includes what packages and plays would be part of the game plan.
He said that after the 4th or 5th game, Notre Dame went to a more balanced offense. He was wrong.
He didn't say after the 4th or 5th game. He did not specify which games were the 4-5 games of dominant running. His post is imprecise. I don't question that, but Kelly did talk about changing the narrative on Wimbush's passing ability. I don't think it is out of bounds to suggest that there was a change in focus at some point.
and Stanford games than those teams allowed on average. They should let the individual players share and keep that Joe Moore award, Brian Kelly's program is undeserving of it.
