Brian Kelly sees a middle ground, one not only with football largely played on schedule this year, but one also with at least some fans in attendance. The Notre Dame head coach is well aware these decisions will not be made by him, maybe not even by Irish director of athletics Jack Swarbrick, but nonetheless, Kelly sees a path through the coronavirus pandemic to Lambeau Field.
The path might be Irish-specific, but its broad template could apply to most teams, as long as their home areas “stay vigilant, stay patient,” as Kelly put it Wednesday.
“We could conceivably get all of our 12 games in,” Kelly said in an interview with Mike Tirico on Thursday’s episode of “Lunch Talk Live” on NBCSN.
