UNDER THE DOME tually went back through the record books in the media guide to check what the most captains were because I had it whittled down to seven. I was trying to make a case for seven. I didn't think I could make the case for seven. "Then I had it at six and then I said, 'Well, I seem to have been the guy that's always had one more of everything here.' I was trying to get to five." He said he considered the unbalanced look with four defensive players and just one on offense, but that he stayed with his decision. He said Smith could not be excluded even though he is only a junior. "He's our best player on defense — by far," Kelly said. "It's not even close. We just felt like it was important that he be in a leadership position." A humbled Smith said the honor is "something I will cherish the rest of my life," but also was pragmatic about the honor. "The No. 1 goal is to win a national championship, and everything else is you take it as you get it," Smith said. "That 'C' doesn't matter if you don't win. At the end of the day, it's all about the team and what can we accom- plish this year." The other two years Notre Dame had as many as five captains were 1995, when the Irish finished 9-3 after losing 31-26 to Florida State in the Orange Bowl, and then the 3-9 season in 2007.
