He also carried the ball five times for 33 yards and one touchdown. Zaire was 2 of 5 passing for 23 yards with a 78.6 rating and had no yards rushing on three carries.

The offensive looked great in the first quarter but did nearly nothing for the rest of the game, including just 14 plays (and two first downs) on four series in the second half. Wisconsin was unranked to start the season, but the Badgers climbed to the No. 10 spot vacated by Notre Dame after a season-opening win over LSU.
“That’s a discussion that I would have”, Kelly said. The decision seems easy to most everyone except Kelly.
It also makes Notre Dame-Texas the most-watched opening weekend college football game on ABC over last year’s Ohio State-Virginia Tech game on ESPN which had 10.76 million total viewers.
Last night was one heck of a football game. “So you can’t let your teammates down and you can’t let yourself down”.
Kelly knows his team can’t play high-scoring games all season and hope to have a successful season.
While the Irish’s offense looked outstanding against the Longhorns, the defense looked subpar at best. Four-star recruit Javon McKinley, as well as Corey Holmes and Kevin Stepherson, rolled off Kelly’s tongue as names who would see more playing time if Hunter is out. “So to me it’s really – it’s all about the attitude”.
“They’re kind of what you thought they were going to be”, Wolf Pack defensive coordinator Scott Boone said.
The Wolf Pack opened the season Friday with a 30-27 overtime victory over Cal Poly, a team from the FCS. The Sun Devils scored 24 points in the fourth quarter. Off long balls, Buechele threw a 72-yard touchdown pass to John Burt, a 68-yard completion to Jerrod Heard that came up inches shy of a TD and an on-target throw that would have been another cross-country score had Burt not dropped it.
On Texas’ first possession of the second quarter, Tyrone Swoopes and the 18-wheeler package propelled the Longhorns into Notre Dame territory, where Buechele took over quarterback duties.
“Our defensive line was pretty solid and Nyles Morgan our middle linebacker was solid”, Kelly said of signs of why he thinks the defense will get better.
There is no timetable for the return of wide receiver Torii Hunter Jr. “He checked us into some things early in the game on Saturday he wouldn’t have gotten to a year ago”.
Starting the OT in Austin with a bang, Swoopes’ three yard run, but unfortunately for UT, Notre Dame answered with a 25-yard screen pass to C.J Sanders on its first play.
Folston and running back Josh Adams will be a formidable challenge for Nevada’s defense, which gave up 191.4 rushing yards per game last season.
Monday, Kelly told reporters he sent a clip of the play to the ACC, which provided the officials on the field, and the conference confirmed that it likely should have been a targeting call.
That’s the question everyone is asking in the wake of its thrilling 50-47 victory over Notre Dame on Sunday. He is embracing the opportunity, saying, “Who wouldn’t want to play in front of Touchdown Jesus?”
We’re sure the actor’s feeling more than alright, alright, alright about the impressive victory, and we wouldn’t be surprised if head coach Charlie Strong calls on McConaughey for another pep talk this season. He was very complementary of his time in South Bend.

Texas (1-0) won because the two quarterback system adopted by the Longhorns at the 11th hour worked nearly flawlessly against Notre Dame.
