Brian Kelly endorses methodical football

After another trio of methodical Notre Dame scoring drives on Saturday, Brian Kelly promoted micromanagement. Bottle-capping the potential to “rip it” in favor of more high-percentage, low-wattage calls. Going more methodical than mad.

In reality, it’s not a vastly different speed limit. But the Irish don’t know better because they haven’t even been introduced to any other way. Indeed, asked if he felt the offense was reined in, receiver Theo Riddick punted.

“To be honest, no,” Riddick said. “That’s the first time I heard it, so it kind of got me by surprise. We’re just going out there and whatever call (Kelly) gives us, we’re trying to execute it to perfection.”
