Tranquill 6th Notre Dame player with season-ending injury

With those number colors?

The touchdown would be Kizer’s sole score of the day, in which he finished 21-of-33 for 242 yards. “It doesn’t matter where we play, our offense should be able to execute on a tundra”.

Notre Dame expects Max Redfield to return vs. UMass]. But pretty much everything they are doing they have done in the past.

A battle between ranked opponents typically isn’t as one-sided as Notre Dame’s 30-22 victory over Georgia Tech was Saturday. Harrison Butker pushed both a 30 yarder and a 43 yarder at the end of the first half wide of the mark. He had 12.0 yards per rush, highest in LSU history. Georgia Tech (2-1) fell to 0-11-1 against Notre Dame teams ranked in the top 10. Notre Dame offense is averaging 34.0 ppg and has to be encouraged by the performances of Kizer and Prosise who are filling in for the injured QB Malik Zaire and RB Tarean Folston.

Though both of its wins in 2015 have come against overmatched foes, Georgia Tech rolled up 69 points against Alcorn State in its opener and another 65 against Tulane on Saturday. The competition’s going to jump up, it’s going to ramp up, playing Notre Dame. Tech has had fairly good health – backup quarterback Tim Byerly’s knee injury excepted – particularly compared with many other teams. Notre Dame will overlook Massachusetts in this game, and so will the novice bettors. There is a little more option-stuff incorporated. The season finale at Stanford won’t be pleasant, but it’s far too soon to brand Kevin Hogan a revelation rather than the beneficiary of a truly incompetent defensive game plan from USC.

Red Zone TD Success: 50%. In that regard, Kizer was solid but unspectacular. However, in a weird way he didn’t play as well as his stats suggest if that makes sense. Regardless, giving up a 46-yard touchdown on a 3-and-20 was a crushing start. This statement follows the safe assumption that the Fighting Irish will have no trouble putting away Universiy of Massachussetts Amherst in week four. Doesn’t look very good right now. Still, he ended with 198 yards on the afternoon. Some will be critical if Wimbush is passing in the late third and fourth quarters.

Kizer was not sharp going through his reads. “We have to go in the with mindset that we have to start fast like the first two games”. “Certainly with a guy of his talent, we absolutely expect that”.

It was barely a month ago-August 15, to be exact-when Notre Dame’s starting nose tackle tore his MCL during practice. At any rate, it’s a question which deserves some thought. “It will be a big transition for us defensively”. He completed the only pass he attempted for 35-yard touchdown to TaQuon Marshall.

A positive for Kizer is that he did not force any balls.

As it was, last year’s FBS rushing champion (342.1 per game) labored for its 216 on the ground. I don’t like that Prosise has to carry the load on his own. His screams reportedly could be heard on the telecast and he was seen crying as the Irish medical staff helped him off the field. Despite the disparity, Kelly is confident his players won’t take the Minutemen lightly. That has to change relatively quickly. This 18-year-old has big things coming his way.

Jacoby Brissett passed for two scores and ran for one more to lead North Carolina State (3-0) over Old Dominion 38-14. He has big plays as a pass receiver in him, provided he has the energy.

“Clearly we were disappointed with the way we played”, Johnson said.

Most of it involves the ACC’s ongoing battle to establish itself as better than fifth among the Power Five conferences in the hunt for a College Football Playoff berth. He was prepared to do more than just “manage the game”.

If you want an example of an exceptionally run route, look at Fuller’s touchdown. The corner recovered but had to hustle to do so, which meant he was not in position to go up for the football when it arrived. “Their kids showed up, played hard”. He had 112 receiving yards on four catches in the first half. Brown was solid as a blocker on the edge. His 17-yard reception also would have gone longer had the pass been accurate. You put it behind you and move forward and get ready for the next game. Hunter was solid as a blocker but must work on finishing off blocks late.

[MORE: CJ Prosise and Will Fuller by the numbers].

Nose guard Jerry Tillery and tight end Alize Jones picked up their first career starts on Saturday. He was strong at the point of attack and blocked well on the second level. Matthew Dayes ran for 108 yards and a touchdown. Hurricane Corn Elder picked off the first pass of overtime, and The U knocked in a 28-yard field goal to escape with a win in a classic. Yes, at times he did miscommunicate with his receivers, but those things will get ironed out as he gets more experience. Without the push of this offensive line, Prosise can’t have the success he’s had in recent weeks. It is a little early to attempt a College GameDay prediction for week-ten games, especially on a week featuring three top-25 matchups.

Duke is 2-7-2 ATS in its last 11 games when playing Georgia Tech.

As a whole, the Irish line also handled the variety of stunts and pressures Georgia Tech brought. # 23 Northwestern won 19-10, and all credit to their defense for shutting down Thomas Sirk. “They do a good job of not beating themselves”.

Center Nick Martin was solid in this game. The Yellow Jackets may only have one loss heading into the game, and the Tigers could very well be undefeated.

There is much value Georgia Tech can wring from the long season to come.
