Notre Dame Football: Playing the Blame Game for the Pittburgh Loss

The fighting Irish apeared to revert to Michigan game mode, as they simply gave up trying to run , finishing with just 25 total carries on the night. After a 140-yard breakout performance a week ago against the Panthers. With the Irish tied or ahead for the first 50 minutes, the lack of running plays called by kelly and offensive coordinator Chuck Martin was puzzling.

The criticism of Kelly's strategy begins on the second drive of the game when he ordered a 55-yard field goal attempt by Kyle Bridza on a 4th and 3 play. No kicker, college on NFL, has ever made a 55-yard field goal at Heinz Field, known for its unfavorable kicking conditions. Brindza's kick, predictably , fell short.

There was another strange decision by Kelly in the forth quarter to decline a penalty that would have forced Pittsburgh into a 1st and 15 situation rather that 2nd and 6. Pitt converted the first down on the next play.
