IrishIllustrated.com breaks down #NotreDame's blowout win over Air Force in the Instant Analysis ($): http://t.co/iBKalWN1

Sophomore #NotreDame quarterback Andrew Hendrix broke out in his debut (free): http://t.co/B8NTsIBL

The #NotreDame offense posted an historic performance in its 59-33 blowout win over Air Force (free): http://t.co/nnS1cA1r

#NotreDame offense with 1,106 yards in the past two games combined.

#NotreDame now averaging 10.4 yards per carry!

#NotreDame at 59 points, the most since Holtz's last game in '96.

George Atkinson finishes off the drive, one-yard dive into the end zone. #NotreDame up 59-19 with 6:22 to play.

End of the third quarter, #NotreDame rolling toward its fourth straight win, up 49-16. On pace for a historically good day on offense.

Whoa. Just realized #NotreDame is averaging 9.1 yards per carry. Air Force no joke either at 6.75 yards per carry. #Rush'nAttack

Jonas Gray in for his second TD, a 6-yard power run. Drive set up by Hendrix rushes of 14 and 12 yards. #NotreDame up 49-16.

Last time #NotreDame scored 42 in a half was back in '90 against Navy.

#NotreDame with a point for every 7.37 yards today. It was about five times that at Pittsburgh a couple weeks ago in the first half.

Jefferson connects for a 6-yard TD, Air Force now trails #NotreDame 35-16 with 1:41 to play in the half.

#NotreDame scores 35 in the first half for the first time since Weis' first game.

Air Force springs a fake punt on #NotreDame, Irish allow the first down. Trick plays may be Falcons best offense.

So, guessing my pick of a 41-13 win sorta unsold #NotreDame a little today.

#NotreDame dominating Air Force in the trenches, Cierre Wood runs untouched for an 8-yard TD. Irish up 35-9, 6:10 to play in the half.

Jonas Gray powers in for a 5-yard TD. Irish offensive line shoving Air Force around. Four drives, four TD's. #NotreDame rolling, up 28-9.

#AirForce has now out-rushed all #NotreDame opponents save USF and it's just six yards short of that total (126), 13:41 left in the half.

Air Force has now out rushed Purdue against #NotreDame. Michigan is up next.

Chase Hounshell makes his #NotreDame debut on 3rd-and-7.

Rees hits Toma for a 10-yard TD, easy pitch and catch against the Air Force defense. #NotreDame up 21-3 with 4:07 left in the first quarter.

Air Force has already out-rushed Michigan State against #NotreDame. 15 yards away from Purdue's total.

#NotreDame misses a pick, settles for holding Air Force to a field goal. Falcons not struggling to move the ball, holding onto it the issue.

Rees hits Eifert for a 5-yard TD, #NotreDame up 14-0 with 8:21 left in the first quarter. Best defense of the option? A two-score lead.

AF fumbles, #NotreDame recovers, Aaron Lynch commits a personal foul on the first play of his first start. Slaughter forced the fumble.

Harrison Smith and Jonas Gray at midfield as #NotreDame captains.

Wait a minute, Wake Forest was supposed to be a gimme game for #NotreDame . Let's get it together here, Demon Deacons.

I think #NotreDame was just listed as a 14-point underdog for next year's trip to Oklahoma.

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Cierre Wood: "He's pretty darn good. I've had some really good ones."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "I don't know that momentum plays into what we're doing anymore...this is about attention to detail, focus."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Jonas Gray: "He's a rare combination of size and speed. He's a great complement to Cierre Wood."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Manti Te'o and Harrison Smith: "I don't think that they have peers."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on WILL linebackers: "That position has been outstanding. They're gonna continue to rotate in like they have."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on playing at home: "I know our guys are excited, especially this weekend when they know they're off."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on special teams: "We're working hard at it. We know it's an area that's gotta get better. It's gotta improve."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on facing cut blocks/option looks: "If you're afraid of that you're not gonna play. We have to be who we are."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Manti Te'o: "He can recognize things before they happen. That's film study. That's attention to detail."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "To build the foundation of long term success it's gotta be invested in what you do defensively."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "I think what we're seeing is we have playmakers at both the running game and passing game."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "Confidence has been there. Obviously it gets stronger when you win."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on playing before an off week: "It's always you don't want to be around me after a loss with a bye week."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "I don't think we can come in this week and all the sudden change who we are and how we do things."

#NotreDame DE Ethan Johnson is still in a walking boot and will be until Thursday, per Brian Kelly. Will evaluate later in the week.

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly comparing Navy/Air Force offenses: "There's many more pieces in the Air Force offense."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on young defensive ends vs. Air Force: "They're gonna play. They have to play."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on defending the option: "We have to play the way we play."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "We're back at home. We're excited about that. But, again, we're gonna have to play very well to beat Air Force."

#NotreDame still among "Also Receiving Votes" in the latest AP Poll, but Irish are now getting more than South Florida. Still less than MSU.

Last time #NotreDame had two 100-yard rushers in a game was in '02 against Stanford (Ryan Grant 108, Rashon Powers-Neal 103).

David Ruffer connects from 21 yards out, #NotreDame now up 38-3.

Tommy Rees hits TJ Jones for an 11-yard touchdown. #NotreDame has reached beatdown territory, up 35-3 with 2:07 left in the third quarter.

#NotreDame on pace to go over 300 yards rushing tonight, which hasn't happened since the Stanford game in '03.

Purdue kicker Carson Wiggs misses from 54 yards, #NotreDame runs out the clock to end the half, up 21-3.

#NotreDame with 312 yards total offense with nine minutes to go in the half. Where have you gone Brock Spack?

Cierre Wood runs for a 55-yard touchdown, #NotreDame up 21-0. Wood with three carries for 79 yards on that drive.

#NotreDame has as many touchdowns (and missed field goals) as #Purdue has first downs.

David Ruffer just misses wide/short right from 49 yards, keeps #NotreDame up 14-0 on #Purdue.

Michael Floyd with 8 catches for 112 yards. It is his 16th career 100-yd receiving game, breaking Golden Tate's #NotreDame record.

Interesting set there for #NotreDame with an unbalanced line, Zack Martin lined up as the right right tackle.

Make that 185 yards total offense for #NotreDame in the first quarter. Purdue still at 39.

#NotreDame with 183 yards total offense in the first quarter. Just 39 for Purdue, all passing.

#NotreDame now 8-of-15 in the red zone this year, which is better than North Texas and Western Kentucky (going into today).

Well, it's not a turnover, but #NotreDame fails in the red zone with a blocked field goal. Drive 11 plays, 76 yards, 0 points. Irish up 7-0

Rees hits a single covered Michael Floyd for a 35-yard touchdown. #NotreDame up 7-0 less than a minute into the game.

IrishIllustrated.com breaks down #NotreDame's victory over Pittsburgh in the Instant Analysis ($): http://t.co/1wkxBPjl

#NotreDame out-gaining Pitt 305-210 through three quarters. Has absolutely nothing to show for it.

Pitt's scoring drive: 19 plays, 80 yards, 8:24 off the clock. #NotreDame had three sacks on the drive and one very costly personal foul.

For the season #NotreDame was averaging a not that great 15.8 yards per point, so this is worse than the usual yuck from the Irish offense.

Woof of a first half. #NotreDame with 258 yards total offense and just 7 points. That's one point for every 36.8 yards.

#NotreDame should just focus on getting to the 21-yard line here, then hand it to Jonas Gray. Touchdown guaranteed, right?

#NotreDame defense with a couple big TFL's in the red zone, holds Pitt to another field goal. #NotreDame up 7-6 with 9:13 to go in the half.

Jonas Gray 79-yard TD longest run for #NotreDame since Terrance Howard 80-yarder on Oct. 21 '00 at West Virginia. Blast from the Davie era.

Jonas Gray, all this guy does is hit 79-yard touchdown runs. First career touchdown for the senior running back. #NotreDame up 7-3.

End of the first quarter. #NotreDame averaging a robust 2.8 yards per play thus far. But hey, they're winning time of possession!

#NotreDame defense holds Pitt to four plays, -5 yards and a field goal after the Rees' giveaway. Pitt 3, Notre Dame 0

Opening drive for #NotreDame an exercise in inefficiency. O-line can't open holes for Irish backs, 13 plays, more than 7 minutes, no points.

Pitt wins the toss and will defer to the second half. #NotreDame will start on offense today.

Harrison Smith and Taylor Dever captains for #NotreDame today.

Manti Te'o and Harrison Smith are now here for questions. #NotreDame

#NotreDame WR Michael Floyd on Tommy Rees: "He has that kind of swagger about him that not too many people have."

#NotreDame WR Michael Floyd on ball security: "We know that we've gotta cut that down. We know turnovers lose games."

#NotreDame WR Michael Floyd: "I don't talk too much myself. I just let my playing show."

#NotreDame WR Michael Floyd: "I think I can get better as the season goes on. I've just gotta make sure I keep a level head."

#NotreDame WR Michael Floyd on adding burst: "I think mostly what I did was cut some weight. I was kind of heavy."

#NotreDame WR Michael Floyd on CB Robert Blanton: "He's tall and long. He gives you a lot of difficulty if he presses you."

#NotreDame WR Michael Floyd on Pitt: "From what I know they have a great secondary."

#NotreDame receiver Michael Floyd is in the house and ready for questions. No Tommy Rees. Here we go.

Situated at #NotreDame for some player press conferences. Tommy Rees and Michael Floyd up at 1:15-ish.

With that, #NotreDame HC Brian Kelly strides away from the podium and we're onto Pittsburgh.

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on playing freshmen: "Our eyes are wide open to this guy can play right away."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "We have not been infected with success yet. I'll know when that happens."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "They know where they are...we don't go back to those things relative to what happened in the past."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on TJ Jones: "What you're seeing is the maturation of a true freshman that now has a year under his belt."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Mike Floyd: "I would say he's better in just the nuances of being a wide receiver. Blocking, much better."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "Developing that mental and physical toughness is a process you undertake every day."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Aaron Lynch: "He's an extremely genetically gifted young man...he's relentless when it comes to rushing QB."

Turns out the TJ Jones unsportsmanlike penalty was, in fact, not a penalty, per #NotreDame HC Brian Kelly. Received a clarification.

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Blanton again: "He's a very confident young man in everything that he does."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Robert Blanton: "I think he's exceeded everybody's expectations at this point."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Tim Hinton: "He's a very valuable part of our staff but he's also somebody I really enjoy being around."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on winning in the trenches: "That's where we started this journey" by recruiting on defense.

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on PItt: "I like their front. They can be in three-down, they can be in four-down."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "Looking at Pittsburgh, obviously the first guy that stands out is Ray Graham. Outstanding running back."

#NotreDame with six punt returns this season for a total of four yards. So they're basically averaging a fair catch.

#NotreDame defense forces a three-and-out to start the second half, Irish could horse collar tackle the game on this drive.

#NotreDame out rushes Michigan State 112-13 in the first half. Kirk Cousins has been good, 12-of-19 for 141 yards.

#NotreDame runs out the clock to end the half, up 21-10. MSU starts with the ball after the break. Irish solid in all three phases thus far.

Play stands, touchdown. Rees was 3-of-4 for 56 yards on the drive. #NotreDame pushes ahead 21-10.

#NotreDame blitzes Cousins, who targets Gray in a 1-on-1 match-up, 25-yard gain, first down.

Rees' pick leads to a MSU field goal, #NotreDame up 7-3. Irish D outstanding early, but Rees' turnovers continue to poison the Gatorade.

#NotreDame O-line mauls MSU's front on the first drive, springs Cierre Wood for a 22-yard TD. Jerel Worthy kinda sorta held. Wood 6-for-59

#NotreDame S Harrison Smith: "This week is really, we're not about talking. Talking doesn't mean anything."

#NotreDame LB Manti Te'o on Michigan State's offense: "Obvioiusly, it starts with their running backs."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Ben Turk: "If we had somebody who we felt was equal to his ability we would look at making a change."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "We've had one bad fourth quarter in the last six games...we're doing some really good things."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "It's not acceptable to lose, especially at Notre Dame. But we're on the journey I'm excited about."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "I like our players. I like where we're going. I know you've gotta win. I get that."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Michael Floyd: "The lion's share of his catches have been with Tommy and they're on the same page."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Mark Dantonio: "We know each other because of the Cincinnati experience...very respectful of Mark."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on short yardage: "I just want to execute better on third down, whether we throw the ball or run the ball."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on pace: "Tommy's getting us into the right play, so that takes some time."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "You stay the course. I know that sounds cliche for everybody ... I believe in my approach."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Tommy Rees: "Keep in mind he's only started five games. That doesn't say it's OK to turn the ball over."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on freshman DEs Aaron Lynch/Stephon Tuitt: "We've got to get them on the field."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on his team: "We've really had a hand in beating ourselves. That's the difference."

Nose guard Sean Cwynar should be back this weekend with a broken hand, per #NotreDame HC Brian Kelly.

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly on Gary Gray: "He's gotta have a short memory at that position."

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "I think we have a chance to be a really good football team. We're not, I get that. We're not."

Danny Spond is questionable for Saturday, per #NotreDame HC Brian Kelly.

Alex Welch and Jake Golic have been cleared to play and compete. Danny Spond with a hamstring injury, per #NotreDame HC Brian Kelly.

Mike Ragone is done for the year with an ACL injury, per #NotreDame HC Brian Kelly.

#NotreDame out-gaining #Michigan 410-224 thus far in total offense. And that stat always predicts the winner, so looking good here.

John Goodman just got #NotreDame into positive punt return yardage for the year. Going into halftime, Irish had four returns for -5 yards.

Impressed with the #NotreDame defense. KLM and Ethan very active, Diaco cooked up good schemes with the OLBs shifting to the same side.

2 years ago in this situation #NotreDame gave up a KOR TD. This time the Irish pin Michigan inside the 20. Halftime lead should be 2 scores.

Denard Robinson not looking like a 300-yard passer tonight. Throws a terrible pick to Gary Gray. End of the first, #NotreDame dominant.

If Irish can run like that all game hard to imagine #NotreDame falling tonight. Cierre Wood four carries for 29 yards already.

#NotreDame forces a 3-and-out, Louis Nix starts, John Goodman back to return the punt. #NoFumble.

Harrison Smith and Zack Martin are the #NotreDame captains tonight. Notre Dame wins the toss and defers.

#NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: "Your roster has to be evaluated for how you win right now, especially at Notre Dame."

Brian Kelly's most focused team looked anything but in its loss to South Florida on Saturday ($): http://j.mp/nRbsvR #NotreDame

@KeithArnoldNBC #NotreDame was 0-0 when it had a 100-yard rusher last year, in case you were curious.

No FBS team had as bad a turnover margin (-5) as #NotreDame, which is tied with Austin Peay, Liberty and New Hampshire in that department.

#NotreDame running back Cierre Wood wood on his 104-yard day: "We lost so I had a bad day. That's how I assess my day."

#NotreDame inexplicably forced to take a timeout before the two-point conversion. Brian Kelly doesn't seem all that tickled about it.

So I get that inside the 20-yard line is the red zone, but inside the 10-yard line has been the dead zone for #NotreDame #WalkenTweet

USF has three first downs in its last seven drives. If #NotreDame can get out of its own way, the Irish have a great shot at this.

#NotreDame defense gives up a first down, but that's all. Diaco's defense carrying the Irish right now. USF 2 first downs in last 6 drives.

#NotreDame back on the field, USF now joins them. That means the 12:30 clock will start for the re-warmup and the game will then continue.

Head coaches and athletic directors have met, agreed to delay terms. No video to be watched of the first half, food to be delivered.

Update: Much more serious storm coming in next 15-20 minutes. Delay will continue at least that long, then another decision.

@NDalum07 I applaud your optimism. Could easily see that being three-for-three by the end of tonight.

The NCAA rules state that you have to play three full quarters for a game to be considered a full game.

So can we count this as the first night game in #NotreDame Stadium in 20 years? No need to wait for USC I guess.

To the best of Notre Dame's knowledge, this is the first weather delay in the history of the football program, home or away.

@zlpaschal You're assuming there will be a second half. A bizarre day is getting bizarrerer.

Perhaps now would be a good time to compliment the upgrade in press box cups. There. I tweeted something positive.

Thoughts on the 2nd half? Very curious to see if Rees goes in for Crist. The defense has played outstanding, all that's keeping Irish in it.

The temptation to work "shake down the thunder" into my game story is overwhelming right now. Assuming this game ever resumes.

Notre Dame out-gained USF 191-144, but 0-of-2 in the red zone and -3 in turnover margin.

Notre Dame announced this is going to be a half hour delay, minimum.

Halftime stats if you're curious: Wood with 84 yards rushing, Crist 7-of-15 for 95 yards and a pick. Harrison and Te'o with 5 tackles each.

#NotreDame Stadium fans asked to evacuate due to approaching thunder storms. Refs will determine when play can resume.

@chaseallister The solution at quarterback isn't Everett Golson. Or Andrew Hendrix.

#NotreDame booed off the field at halftime in its home opener of a supposed BCS contending season. Down 16-0 to USF. Not good. At. All.

Wonder if any Notre Dame students will print up a "Free Rees" t-shirt at halftime.

#NotreDame defense with a third straight three-and-out hold. Gotta wonder if Tommy Rees comes in for the second half. Big moment here.

Tyler Eifert wide open. Dayne Crist throws it behind him. Incompletion. Three-and-out. Ben Turk with another 30-something punt.

#NotreDame defense steps up again, holds USF to a 3-and-out and 36-yard FG. Turnovers just killing the Irish, Dexter style. USF up 16-0

#NotreDame trying to give the game away? Theo Riddick fumbles a fair catch, USF takes over at the 20.

#NotreDame opportunity turns into a three-and-out, Crist misses Tyler Eifert and Theo Riddick drops a pass on third down.

USF misses a 52-yard field goal attempt, can't take advantage of Crist's INT in the end zone. #NotreDame can get back in it right here.

Hard to wrap my head around that quarter. #NotreDame looked the better team almost every snap save Gray's fumble and Turk's punts.

Too dramatic to say #NotreDame just made a season-saving goal line stand. Ridiculous it's even up for discussion. USF up 13-0.

#NotreDame goes three-and-out, a couple missed throws by Dayne Crist. Ben Turk actually gets a good punt off, but it's returned 34 yards.

#NotreDame holds on 3rd-and-3, but USF kicks a 49-yard field goal to go up 10-0. Aaron Lynch also got in on the first drive.

Ruling on the field is confirmed, USF shocks #NotreDame and jumps out to a 7-0 lead.

#NotreDame wins the toss and will receive, as Brian Kelly said during the week.

Celebrity sighting in front of the press box. #KOPKO #KOPKO #KOPKO Well, celebrity for #NotreDame hoops media.

Chatted with an NFL scout about the #NotreDame talent, said it's the best here in a while and he's checked out the Irish the past few years.

#NotreDame commit John Turner is on the sideline checking out warmups. He was talking with fellow commit David Perkins earlier.
