From The Locker Room Head coaches Brian Kelly and Bronco Mendedhall were in agreement that Notre Dame's rushing attack played a big role in the outcome of the game. photo by Bill Panzica Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly … On redeeming a loss to Pitt: "They are capable of playing that way. I think the Pittsburgh game was an anomaly for a number of reasons that I just can't get into right now, other than the fact it was behind us. They had a chance to go out and show in their last home game the kind of football team that they really are. "I thought they did that today against a very good opponent in BYU." On the running game: "We felt like we could certainly run the football against BYU. It is part of what we were certainly about offensively as we have defined our offense." On junior running back Cam McDaniel: "Cam is more of a downhill, inside the tackle, north and south player. … He's a physical, inside runner, and so him and Tarean [Folston] got a lot of carries inside out. And George [Atkinson] really helped us out a lot today, too, with some good, physical running. "But that was the way the running game was set up, and that's how they were defending us." Notre Dame fifth-year senior linebacker Dan Fox … On rebounding from a loss: "We really didn't want Pitt to beat us twice. We moved on from that. We were excited to play BYU and show them what we're made of."
