They literally practiced the silent count indoors all week.

There were entire articles about it before the game. They were cranking Guns N Roses in practice.

Kelly mentioned yesterday that Book was reverting back to clapping for the ball when they were in their silent count.

I was at the game and some of the false starts happened when the crowd wasn't even at a fever pitch.

Cole Kmet also had 3 in his first game of the season.


Guns N Roses don't do D-Line shifts though. *

They obviously needed to do something different...

but the idea that ND didn't practice crowd noise or silent counts is false. That's how they ran their scrimmages.


Seems like they should have gone in with the silent count

Instead, they did the clapping thing for a while until that didn't work, then switched mid-game. Seems like it would have been simpler to just commit to the silent count from the get-go.


Per Kelly yesterday - Book wasn't suppose to be clapping. *
