Brian Kelly: Our QB play is unacceptable and our team doesn't play with passion

"We're not going to continue to go in this direction, we'll have to re-evaluate what we're doing, who we're doing it with, and how we're doing it, all of those things."

Kelly later elaborated that every position in the line-up will be evaluated, including starting quarterback.

And that promise that every position is up for grabs, illustrates just how dire the circumstances have become for Notre Dame. Kelly said even quarterback DeShone Kizer's play was unacceptable, and when asked if he'd consider taking the redshirt off sophomore qaurterback Brandon Wimbush and play him, Kelly said even that, is a possibility.

As disappointed as he was by the execution, Kelly offered an ever greater indictment of his team: A lack of passion.

"We had one guy in the entire football team that had emotion and fire. That is Dexter Williams. He's the only one," Kelly said in praise of the sophomore running back, who carried for 27 yards and a touchdown in five attempts.
