Brian Kelly Recaps Michigan Victory in Sunday Teleconference
Here are some of the highlights from Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly during his ‘Sunday’s with Brian’ teleconference.
BK on Brian Van Gorder:
BK on VanGorder: "It's not complicated for him, so it's so easy for him to communicate it to his players."

On the play of Jaylon Smith:
BK on Jaylon Smith: "His ability to close changes so much of what you want to do. He has that incredible ability to slow-play a QB."

BK on the Max Redfield penalty at the end of the game:
Kelly on the Redfield penalty: "Max did not size up somebody or target a player. We felt like in that situation he was doing his job."

On the number of penalties as a team:
Kelly on #NotreDame not committing many penalties thus far: "It's never an accident. We're not a sloppy group. We pay attention to detail."

On Tarean Folston, and the five suspended players:
Kelly says Tarean Folston suffered a bone bruise, but it shouldn't slow him down. Also, no update on the five separated players.

BK on the importance of Kyle Brindza:
Kelly on Brindza: "He's been really big on flipping field position … What else can you say about him? He does everything for us."

On Cam McDaniel:
Kelly: "Cam McDaniel wants to win a national championship." I have no comment on this, just stating facts.

And that wraps up Michigan week, possibly the last one for quite a while. A good note to go out on. And the Irish put an exclamation point on it with the shutout, ending the longest streak in the NCAA, which dated back to 1984.
Go Irish. Beat Purdue.
