Pressed further on whether he planned to keep the “OR” between the two on the depth chart, Kelly said: “We plan on having two really good quarterbacks the rest of the year”. This was one of the most exciting games in an electric atmosphere at DKR during one of the best opening weekends in college football history. His first drive ended with a 19-yard touchdown pass to Armanti Foreman on a perfectly thrown ball on the edge of the end zone. Zaire was 2 of 5 passing for 23 yards with a 78.6 rating and had no yards rushing on three carries.

– No17 Tennessee, No18 Notre Dame and No19 MS all fell eight spots.
Kelly said he wanted to meet with his offensive staff, as well as Kizer and Zaire, before declaring whether the quarterback rotation will continue or one guy will be the outright starter.
Berkowitz says officials can be disciplined for bad or missed calls, but he adds that punishments are not always public. “So you can’t let your teammates down and you can’t let yourself down”. “I think moving Crawford out to corner is going to solidify things for us, and I think the safeties we knew were going to be young and inexperienced”. Defense: Notre Dame. Nevada is making strides defensively, but Kelly has developed good depth, particularly up front.
“So this narrative about, you know, “it’s all the defense’s fault” is, you know, just Monday morning quarterbacking”. That’s really 99% attitude and accepting the role that you have. “Brian and I are in communication, so anything more would be me taking on a role in more of a play calling and I’m not in that role, and I have somebody that can do that quite well”.
“Coach BJ (Texas Linebackers/Recruiting Coordinator Brian Jean-Mary), because he hits me up every time and we talk about music and we talk about life and stuff”. The true freshman carried 11 times for 43 yards in his college debut.
The Pack is a run-first offense out of the Pistol formation. Buechele was given the freedom to gunsling, and the team was 16-for-26 with 280 yards and two touchdowns in his first game with the Longhorns.
Tyrone Swoopes, a 260-pound fifth-year senior, played in a variety of short-yardage situations and scored three touchdowns, including both overtime TDs.
Texas (vs. Notre Dame), OU (Houston) and Kansas State (Stanford) had center stage in Week 1.
“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. “Both [Sebastian and Hunter Jr.] sustained head injuries, so they’ll go through our battery of tests and we’ll see how they are today and proceed from there”.
Texas Longhorns football has officially released a depth chart ahead of the game against the UTEP Miners this Saturday. Kelly was talking about keeping No. 2 receiver Equanimeous St. He completed two passes of 60+ yards on Sunday night, which matches the total from the entire 2015 season.
While the Longhorns may be much improved from past year, let’s not get ahead of ourselves and call them the Big 12 champions just yet.

The Notre Dame offensive scheme shouldn’t be too foreign to Nevada. But the only way we have a chance to win is through significant improvement. What if I told that after that showing in South Bend, that Swoopes would end up being the hero in the rematch?
