SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) – Notre Dame wide receiver Will Fuller finds it hard to believe the eighth-ranked Fighting Irish are underdogs at home against No. 14 Georgia Tech.
“That’s really disrespectful that we’re the underdogs and they’re coming into our house,” said Fuller, who has four touchdown catches in two games. “We’re pumped up for it.”
A major reason the Irish are underdogs is because sophomore DeShone Kizer will make his first start at quarterback after Malik Zaire fractured his ankle against Virginia. Kizer, who threw the game-winning touchdown with 12 seconds left last week, was asked when he got comfortable running the offense.
“I can’t say I’m completely comfortable now,” he said.
Coach Brian Kelly said the Irish will run the same offense with Kizer, and Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson isn’t expecting any significant changes.
