SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -Notre Dame will head out for its first road game of the season and coach Brian Kelly promises he’ll have this much ready to pull out of the suitcase – two prepared backup quarterbacks with an easier system for them to run.
Notre Dame’s worst fears were realized for most of the first half last week against Michigan when starter Dayne Crist took a hit to the head. He had blurred vision, forcing him out of the game.
Crist returned in the second half and led the Irish to 17 points in a 28-24 loss. But while he was out, inexperienced backups Tommy Rees and Nate Montana struggled to run the offense.
Kelly said Tuesday that he is going to install a less complex package for Rees and Montana, should they get the call at Michigan State.
