Brian Kelly knows who will make the plays for Notre Dame, he just isn’t sure when they will make them. The Irish offense has established who its playmakers are — primarily senior quarterback Brandon Wimbush, the receiver duo of senior Miles Boykin and junior Chase Claypool, sophomore running back Jafar Armstrong when junior back Tony Jones isn’t in a physical groove, and a litany of tight ends. It has not found the needed consistency from them, though.
“Consistency” was, quite literally, the first word Notre Dame’s head coach offered when asked about the Irish offense Sunday.
“We have to be executing a lot better,” Kelly said.
