BY LOU SOMOGYI I n the past 11 months, Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly has been in the center of two two-point storms. Against Northwestern last No- vember when Notre Dame scored a touchdown to take a 40-29 lead, he inex- plicably opted to go for two instead of kicking the extra point. The point after try would have made it 41-29 — requir- ing two touchdowns by the Wildcats to win. The two-point attempt failed, and TWO TIMING Going for a two-point conversion is not always a simple decision Head coach Brian Kelly left himself open for second guessing when he opted to have sophomore quar- terback DeShone Kizer and the Irish offense go for two after Notre Dame's first touchdown early in the fourth quarter of the eventual 24-22 loss at Clemson.
