UNDER THE DOME
"I haven't even looked at the standings, honestly. That doesn't mean anything to us. We
just go out there. We know it's a big game. We know we have to come out and perform."
Notre Dame junior slot receiver C.J. Prosise on how the Irish felt
about Arizona State jumping them in the College Football Playoff poll
"We control our own destiny. We can't really get into the pollers' heads, or the people who make the
decisions. We're just going to play our hardest and hope that they see that." — Irish junior defensive
lineman Sheldon Day on his opinion of Notre Dame's ranking
"The only time since I've been at Notre Dame, I've only heard one fan direct anything at me. It was at
USC, we were winning the game at USC, and — again, this is our 12-0 season — it was a lady screaming
at me the whole game. I mean, screaming at me. We were winning the game. I finally turned around,
and she had a Notre Dame sweatshirt on. That defused the whole thing of me listening to anybody in
the stands.
"I figured, if we can go 12-0 and there's a Notre Dame fan grinding you in the fourth quarter at USC
while you're about to go 12-0, you might as well not listen to anyone." — Irish head coach Brian Kelly on
what he hears from the stands
THEY SAID IT
