08:11 AM ET 04.16 | What's the best mystery in South Bend? It's still the quarterback situation. And [Brain Kelly] added a little spice to it by adding the element of the QBs having to check out of potentially bad plays at the line of scrimmage. "It's like anything else," Kelly said. "If you're confident and you walk up there and you know what you want to do ... that goes a long way. That's what we wanted to see today -- who commands respect? As I told them, even if you're wrong, go up there with a certainty that you know what you're doing." Freshman Gunner Kiel had to do so with a heavy heart. His uncle, former ND quarterback Blair Kiel, died of an apparent heart attack Easter Sunday. ... All four quarterbacks were live during scrimmage periods, which means they could be tackled. That will also be the format during next Saturday's Blue-Gold Game.

What a novel idea?? Having your QB's check out of bad plays, who would have thunk it???

I bet the guy that sniffs the hair the best is the starting QB. OK, I kidd.
Sad to hear about Blair Kiel. Way too young for someone to die.

Maybe they want to see who checks out the most? ie, doesn't have the confidence in the plays the most?

Great idea, now it only needs a name. Hmmm? how about audible? nah.
Maybe that is what Kelly was doing in that bowl game? Send in some bad plays to see if Rees would check out of it? A man ahead of his time.

Not in this country. Your time zone is first.

Honestly. They should have a very good defense. Just don't muck it up with the offense and they could win 8 games again.
Another way he could build confidence in his QBs is to not tear them a new a##hole in front of a full stadium and a national tv audience when they goof up. Do it on the practice field.

The wearing of the Green is reserved for special occasions, like Army, according to coach Weis son.

The reason for my sarcastic post. And believe me, Van and Piratey (and every media hype in the world) will be sure I never forget about their mighty Irish.
