www.BLUEANDGOLD.com SEPT. 19, 2020 27 Bramblett received the play call: a fake punt. "My thought process was, 'I hope the heck it works,'" head coach Brian Kelly said. "That was my first thought process. It was there. We saw it on film. We felt like it was there. It was one of those that you needed to call it in a very vulnerable area. In other words, when you're backed up." The ball was snapped and Bram- blett followed his blockers to the left, but a handful of Blue Devils had the play read, so he cut back to the mid- dle of the field, made a man or two miss and picked up a huge 14-yard run for the first down. "Jay is a very good athlete and you saw that he had to cut back to make that first down, but we felt very con- fident that he was going to get an op- portunity to convert that," Kelly said. "We needed a little bit of momentum, and so I just felt like it was the right time to make the call." At the time, this was Notre Dame's biggest offensive play of the game.
