Notre Dame football: Last season's Irish penchant for late-game drama carried over to 2010 when the Brian Kelly era began with a 23-12 victory over Purdue on Saturday.A 20-3 Irish lead after three quarters was hardly significant. It was only starting to get interesting. A Purdue safety, followed by a 55-yard touchdown drive, cut the difference to 20-12 and conjured up memories of previous collapses.
This time, the Irish answered with a 37-yard field goal by walk-on kicker David Ruffer, against a stiff wind, to allow for some breathing room with a 23-12 lead.
While the Notre Dame offense was effective, the Irish defense had enough
moments to distinguish itself. Notre Dame had three quarterback sacks from its defensive linemen, compared to 10.5 by the trench crew all of last season.
Fighting Irish hit the field today with Kelly of the reigns and has already attracted speculation that it will be very urban Meyer. In case the name of urban Meyer is not the bell tolls, it adopted the program from the ground up undefeated regular season in Utah. This is a great season limit, which led him to power in Florida. This is football Notre Dame schedule may be one that makes Kelly a rock star.
The Notre Dame football schedule begins today, September 4th as Notre Dame faces Purdue Boilermakers at 3:30 PM ET at Notre Dame Stadium, Indiana.
