It was bad but I think going for it on 4th and long before half was worse. There was no reason to do that and he gave back the 3 points he just avoided.
They should have been questioning it from the beginning of they weren't.
Horrible fit all around and Kelly is a sham coach.
Just a much more expensive version of Butch Jones.
It was Notre Dame's only opportunity for a win over an opponent that is currently ranked and it was yet another in a long line of Kelly losses against Top 10 opponents. During his 12 seasons at Notre Dame, Kelly finished with a record of just 4-11 against opponents that ranked in the Top 10 at the time of the game, including going just 2-5 during the "turnaround" seasons from 2017-21.
Two of those Top 10 wins were against opponents that finished unranked (Michigan State, 2012 - Stanford, 2018). Another came against a Clemson team that was playing without its All-American quarterback and three of its best starters on defense (2020).
