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.


What happened after that? *

He said that after the 4th or 5th game, Notre Dame went to a more balanced offense. He was wrong.


He said after 4-5 games of dominant running.

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.


We played teams with a defense. *

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.
