As Notre Dame runs out of bodies, there’s only so much magic Mike Brey can make happen

As halftime approached, Mike Brey's shirt had half-untucked itself, giving his open-collared stockbroker-at-happy-hour vibe a distinct time-to-call-an-Uber tinge. The Notre Dame coach had flailed his arms and hitched up his belt so many times he was starting to look a little disheveled, even by his relaxed sartorial standards.

There's only so much even Brey can do with Notre Dame right now. Bonzie Colson, the preseason ACC player of the year, sat to his right, his left leg in a walking boot. Matt Farrell, another all-ACC candidate, was in street clothes in the next seat down. D.J. Harvey is hurt as well.
