30 OCT. 3, 2016 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED However, his numbers do not tell the complete story of how he played. Kizer missed a number of open re- ceivers, and his post-snap decision making was wildly inconsistent after the offense's first two drives. Following the game, Kelly was clearly upset about his quarterback's play. "Below standard," Kelly stated em- phatically. "It's not acceptable, his play." Kizer knows he did not play well enough to help his team come out on top, and he plans to get back to work this week in hopes of getting his performance — and his team's season — back on track. "I'm going to go in … watch the film, make the adjustments I need to make and try to prepare myself to be a better quarterback next week than I was this week," Kizer said after the game. Kizer followed his coach's lead af- ter the game, putting much of the offense's struggles on his shoulders. "To go 1-3 and not come up on some big drives at the end of games, that all falls on me as the commander of the offense," Kizer stated. "It is my job to execute it every time I touch the ball, and I haven't done that well lately. "I have to play complete games and be more consistent if we're going to win games from here on out." ✦ NOTRE DAME INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing No. Gain Lost Net Avg. TD Lg.
