Brian Kelly needs to make better use of ‘garbage time’ in blowout wins

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly could do a better job of using “garbage time” when the Irish are thumping an opponent.

Maybe a couple of close calls against Florida State and Louisville have Brian Kelly’s blowout management rusty because once the game hit the 4th quarter Kelly put in the backups and smashed the breaks.

The Irish didn’t need to score more, but it became a wasted quarter of football. The offense didn’t do anything but sit on the football and run uninspired, bland run plays.
