UNDER THE DOME THEY SAID IT "I went to [the coaching staff] and asked them. I wanted to develop. I felt like my game wasn't as complete. When I get on the field for a really significant amount of time, I want to really be a difference-maker." Junior defensive lineman Jay Hayes on asking the Notre Dame coaches to redshirt him in 2015 "We always look towards the Miami game as one that has some very good tradition to it, and a lot of respect for Miami's tradition, and certainly the games that have been played have been great ones. There's always the attention paid to it by our players and our alumni base. For them coming here, I think it will rekindle certainly that great matchup between [Lou] Holtz and Jimmy Johnson, and I think that that's going to be one that is hyped up pretty big. "But they're different teams, and they're different coaches. I know Mark [Richt]; great respect for him and the program that he's run [at Georgia] for so many years. He's going to do the same thing at Miami. "It'll be a little bit different, different coaches, different styles of teams, but one that still, when it's 'The U' and it's Notre Dame, it will kind of take a life of its own from coast to coast." — Head coach Brian Kelly on this fall's matchup between Notre Dame and Miami "Fortunately, both quarterbacks are very capable of playing and being the guy — but they are also different. It's going to be a tough decision for coach Brian Kelly and his staff to figure that out. You wish them both the best of luck. PHOTO BY BILL PANZICA
