✦ News & notes Miscellaneous Notes • Notre Dame is on fall semester break this week. With no classes, the team is practicing earlier in the day, but head coach Brian Kelly said it's not disrupting any routine. "I think it's a welcome relief for the guys that they get a little more free time," he said. "They know the mid-afternoon is 'go time' for them." • This will be the 30th meeting against Air Force, with Notre Dame holding a 23-6 lead, including 12-2 in Falcon Stadium. The Falcons won four straight from 1982-85, but the Irish have won 12 of the last 14 meetings, most recently a 59-33 victory at home in 2011.
