Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said he let his team down Saturday in its 10-3 loss at NC State, but he wasnt second-guessing a game plan that had the Fighting Irish throw the ball 26 times in tumultuous conditions that were brought on by Hurricane Matthew.I dont think I would second-guess that, Kelly said.?We still had 38 carries. I think it was pretty evident to me that we were in need of throwing the football when we did throw it. We just werent as effective as I thought we could be.Asked what he meant when he said he let his team down, Kelly alluded to a punt that NC State blocked and returned for a 10-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter -- the games only touchdown.When your team is flat and not playing with that energy, you kind of sense it, Kelly said. They were excited to play today and you want to be there for them. You want to make the right call, you want to put them in the right position. You had two guys back there [on the punt], maybe you second-guess yourself. Maybe we shouldve been in a three-man wall there instead of rugby. You second-guess yourself in games like this where your team is ready to play and excited to play. Thats what I was meaning by that.Notre Dame drove to the NC State 16-yard line late in the fourth quarter with a chance to tie the game, but center Sam Mustipher snapped the ball early on fourth-and-8, the last gaffe in a game that saw 10 total fumbles in wet conditions at Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh.Were looking for wins, not improvement on one side of the ball or the other, Kelly said. Although, I was very pleased with our physicality, toughness and tackling. Im just extremely disappointed in the offensive execution and lack of ability to manage the snapping of the football -- which was atrocious as well.Kelly was visibly upset with Mustipher on the sideline after the play, which was the final offensive play of the game for the Irish, who tallied just 113 yards of total offense.He thought he heard something, Kelly said of Mustipher, according to Irish Illustrated. We were trying to scan the play. Get a peek at what it was. He thought he heard something and the ball got snapped. I dont know if you can prepare for this. All the wet-ball drills you do -- and I thought the officials did a great job of getting us dry balls; its generally an 18-ball rotation and they gave us 36 -- I thought from that point it was managed well.Both teams turned the ball over in very difficult conditions, both teams had a hard time moving the football. Both field goal kickers managed to eek one over the uprights in sloppy conditions. We gave up a flippin blocked punt for a touchdown. Thats the difference in this one.Notre Dame fell to 2-4 on the season, its worst six-game start since opening 1-5 in 2007. The preseason No. 10 Irish also became the first AP preseason top-10 team to start 2-4 or worse since Arkansas in 2012.The Irish are 1-1 since firing defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder four games into the season and replacing him with analyst Greg Hudson.Notre Dame hosts Stanford next Saturday before having a bye week.

Nike Vapormax En Gros .In my heart and mind Im competing for India, luge competitor Shiva Keshavan told The Associated Press in an email interview. Every day Im flooded with messages from Indians all over the world telling me they are supporting me. West Indies captain Jason Holder has said that his side has what it takes to win a Test match, but insisted they must not get complacent after winning only one match. Holder said he was a proud captain to pull off such a fight and beat Pakistan by five wickets in Sharjah. West Indies, after being whitewashed in the ODI and T20I series, showed more resistance than most would have expected to finish the Test series 1-2. This is a very good group of guys, Holder said after the fifth days play. We showed glimpses that we can have what it takes to compete at this level. For us, it is just a matter of consistency. We must not get complacent, we have no reason to be complacent. One Test victory is by all means not enough. We have to stay hungry, and that is something I really believe we have in the group.West Indies tested Pakistan in phases in the entire Test series; they nearly won the Dubai Test and put on a late fight in Abu Dhabi too. The third Test saw Holders men find gaps in Pakistans complacency and carelessness, and went on to win without any troubles on the last day. My message is simple; stay with us and keep supporting us, Holder said. One Test match victory doesnt make us a world beating side, but we have showed people that we can do it. We have what it takes.We have competed with Pakistan throughout this series. We fell short in Dubai, were outplayed in Abu Dhabi, but to finish the last Test on the winning side is a wonderful feeling. For the fans back home, and West Indies fans in general, just keep supporting us, keeping giving us that love, and hopefully this team can turn things around for West Indies. It was extremely important, especially after the Dubai Test match, where many people felt we could have won the game.We personally felt we could have won the game as well, but we didnt get across the line. To come here in this last Test match, and put ourselves in the position to win, and actually get acrosss the line, is a great feeling.dddddddddddd We have the ability to win Test matches, it is just about stringing together the complete game. If I could sum up my feelings in one word now, Id say proud. Proud of the character the guys showed, proud of the fight they showed.Winning two Tests was not as easy for Pakistan as they had to overcome resilience by West Indies. Darren Bravos century in Dubai gave Pakistan a scare and Devendra Bishoo frequently tested Pakistans batsmen to finish as the second-highest wicket-taker in the series, taking 18 wickets at an average of 27. His strike rate of 45 was better than Yasir Shahs 55, who was the top wicket-taker with 21 scalps.Another positive for West Indies was opener Kraigg Brathwaite, who became the first opener to stay unbeaten in both innings of a Test, in Sharjah.He carried his bat in the first innings for his 142, and then scored an unbeaten 60 in the second innings to see the side through successfully. He is young; everyone is looking to make their mark on the international circuit, Holder said in Brathwaites praise. Everybody is hungry for success, and one thing I have really enjoyed on this trip is the fact everybody is happy for each others success. We just need to string together consistent performances over an extended period of time. If we can do that, we will get back on the right track, to take West Indies cricket back up to the top.The negative things around West Indies cricket are beyond my control. I cant control who signs contracts, I cant control who is here with me. All I can control is my destiny on the cricket pitch when I step over that line. That goes for everybody in that dressing room. As players, we just have to be responsible for our own individual actions, take our personal pride onto the field, and play good cricket. ' ' '
