Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly discusses his return to Cincinnati and UC Hall of Fame induction. Fletcher Page, fpage@enquirer..com
Perhaps things would be different if Nebraska beat Texas in early December 2009 and Cincinnati football had played for the national championship.
That was part of coach Brian Kelly's recollection during a brief meet with the press Saturday at Nippert Stadium before the Bearcats game against Tulsa.
But Texas won, Cincinnati was shut out of the title game and Kelly left a few days later for Notre Dame.
