30 OCT. 10, 2016 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED previous weeks, including knocking down 325-pound junior guard Quen- ton Nelson on his way downfield after throwing a 79-yard touchdown pass to start the game. "It's 100-percent attitude," Kizer said of the mental adjustment he made. "The whole team has had smiles on their faces. We're danc- ing on the sidelines, and we're smil- ing. We're getting back to what we should've been doing this whole sea- son, which is playing the game." DEVON STUDSTILL GETS EJECTED Freshman safety Devin Studstill was ejected during the second quar- ter of the game after hitting Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey after he slid on a scramble. Studstill was originally just flagged for a late hit, but after a booth review it was ruled he targeted the quarter- back, which resulted in his immedi- ate ejection. "He was definitely not targeting somebody," head coach Brian Kelly said of the hit. "I just don't under- stand the rule." With Studstill being thrown out during the first half, he will be able to return for the start of Notre Dame's next game against North Carolina State Oct. 8. ✦ NOTRE DAME INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att.
