of senior nose guard Louis Nix III and
sophomore defensive end Sheldon Day as
"outstanding" along the line. Notre Dame
repeatedly penetrated the front wall and
applied pressure, but Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner displayed remarkable
poise and playmaking skills by either getting a pass off just in time or using his feet
to extend the play for that needed extra
split second.
"Louis Nix was a beast. They couldn't
block him," Kelly said. "He played as well
as he's played for us. They had no answers
for him inside. … Play after play, fit after
fit, Sheldon Day played outstanding."
The head coach noted that Nix has become much better in his demeanor and
communication while displaying a "professionalism" that hadn't always been
present.
"He thought he got a little too much
into the social media and all that stuff,
and really wanted to focus on football,"
Kelly said.
