Notre Dame coach double downs with another strong denial of faking injuries vs. UGA
For the second day in a row, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly was asked about his players faking injuries in the UGA loss. For the second day in a row, Kelly was in full-denial mode. The latest Kelly comments occurred in Notre Dame’s press conference on Monday, in advance of this weekend’s game against Virginia: Q.

it's on tape, sorry Coach Kelly
Kelly is taking advantage of what is known as "plausible deniability". Anyone with half a brain knows he is lying.
Here is the solution... a team can have up to five injuries on defense, with no penalties. Starting with the sixth time-delay injury, the offending team can choose either one of two options: 1) a 15-yard penalty, or 2) the injured player cannot return for the remainder of the game.
While not breaking the letter of the rules, Notre Dame clearly and repeatedly broke the spirit of the rules. When this starts to happen, the letter of the rules needs to be changed.
I like this concept, but let’s remove the penalty (if legitimately injured a player can’t help/avoid it. Or I’d say they either have to burn a timeout to immediately sub that player back in OR that player must sit out the remainder of that drive. This increases player safety and fixes the issue without punishing legit injured kids.
Kelly desperately trying to put lipstick on a pig. The entire nation witnessed what actually happened.
He is right. In most cases when you are getting your Butt handed to you . You usually don't feel good a want to take a knee.
Kelly most have some "Hail Merry's " saved up and need to use them
This kind of stuff......true or false...does not really bother me........No biggie...take a 5 minute break and we'll go right back to where we were
This should be embarrassing for an institution like Notre Dame. Brian Kelly loses respectability every time he answers that question. It's probably a red flag on his personality. His defense was tired and needed to take a break. I understand he can't truly admit to faking injuries but come up with a better answer.Don't bluntly deny that what they did weren't used to stop momentum. Go Dawgs!!
Obviously Kelly hasn’t yet watched the film from Saturday night lol...
kelly is lying through his teeth .
Kelly said in his first interview that the second injury was due to cramps. I have never heard of treating cramps with eye drops.
Brian Kelly is lying about fake injury. They practiced fake injury stuff all week prior to playing Georgia. He knew coming into the game Georgia would wear them out by the third quarter. So he had a person on the side line giving instruction on when and who needs to go down. However, their was a mix up from the side line and they got caught in the act. If you watch other games they play they will do the same thing if they are behind in the game.
Like Lou Holtz said in an interview before the game, "Notre Dame is bringing their own refs so they will know what they can get away with." Besides the flops, after the third or forth false start penalty, Kelly was shown chewing the ear off the side judge. Evidently, he was wanting the refs to stop throwing those flags the way they were keeping the flags in their pockets on multiple holding and pass interference calls.
I don't know if 6 was really injured or not. But I had not seen where 20 almost went down on his knee while walking in front of # 6. That is pretty fishy. I don't have a good explanation for that without assuming he was looking at the sideline and a signal was given to "go down".
