That's why I said it was unexpected. You can call it whatever you want. They went undefeated with some close wins vs average teams. I never expected a 12-0 season, maybe 9 or 10 wins. I thought it would take 5 years for Kelly to get this to be a top 5 program and it probably will. Making the National Title game in year 3 only helped in recruiting moving forward even though Bama rolled. Once every player on that roster is someone Kelly recruited then the sky's the limit.It was kind of a fluke that they made the NC but yes the arrow is pointed up.
That is their deal. They have no QB.Once you see Tommy Rees play, it'll point right back down again
I've seen him play for 3 years and think he'll be fine. He was huge late in a couple wins last year. He's experienced and added some good weight. As long as he protects the ball we'll be fine. With our OL, our 6'7" 270lb TE and stable of RB's we are going to pound teams with the run.Once you see Tommy Rees play, it'll point right back down again
It was. When Tyrone Willingham was the prior coach anything would be pointed up.Wasn't the arrow pointed up when Charlie Weis was there?
Tony...I guess you feel bold enough this year to start your special Notre Dame only thread. Do EET.Brian Kelly in year 4 of rebuilding the ND program that was crap for 15+ years. Already one unexpected National Title game appearance. The arrow is pointed up. Accept it.

Chug a lug.
As a fan, I can't help but get excited.
The ND Football thread is becoming more and more of a reality after that shat. I just have to come up with a clever name.I just took a peek at next week's TV schedule and it looks like we'll have some pretty good games considering it's week 1.
And if you're bored with a few minutes to kill you can root for Temple to beat ND on NBC.
