Top 10 Games of the Brian Kelly era - Updated! (2020) 

The Clemson game was just the best. Close second is the Stanford game.

“Just a winner... terrific athlete- LOST THE FOOTBALL!”

best of the Lou Holtz era . next ))))

I remember that Pitt game.... had no business winning haha.... also if i was a stanford fan I would still be bitter about the ref blowing the whistle.... Oh well, a win is a win, thanks for posting

In the 2013-14 season Michigan State finished 13-1. The Spartans won the Big Ten (beating Ohio State in the regular season and in the B10 Champ. game) , won the Rose Bowl (over then-#5 Stanford), and finished third in the final AP Poll. Notre Dame's victory that year against MSU is frequently overlooked when Brian Kelly's tenure is evaluated simply because it was an early-season win (fourth game for both squads, and the pollsters did not yet appreciate how good Dantonio's team was since it had not faced a serious challenge before the ND game). Ask any Spartan fan, and they will tell you how important that game was. I don't know that a 14-0 Spartan team would've ended up #1 in the AP poll ahead of undefeated FSU, but it certainly would have had a legitimate case to make. At worst it would have landed at #2 over a 12-2 Auburn team. I'm glad to see it at least made this list, albeit ranked much too low IMHO.

Let’s hope this needs updating soon!

GO IRISH!☘☘☘

I was in the stands for 3 of these games, my favorite was the shutout of Michigan in the night game....will always remember that environment

Nd Pitt is one of my favorite Nd games ever! ☘️

My favorite was the Michigan game when we ran back the INT because it was Michigan.

And.... then a year later 2022, we trash the shit out of Clemson. Dabos facial expressions in defeat=priceless 😅

Get ready for a new era ladies and gentlemen! We Will start off with a Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma State

i was at the Notre Dame vs LSU Citrus Bowl game

Awesome video. Just wish there were some better wins to put on here

I’d say besting USC at USC in 2010 and 2012 would be on that list.

9:51 you cannot tell me that picture is not iconic. You just can't!

Brian Kelly era is now over. You should make a new one in ten years for the freeman era lol

#10, #9, #3, and #2 were all Vacated. So "Top 6 Wins..." ?

Kelly never won the boogers games.. beat up on average teams.. his bets win was in 2012 at Oklahoma.. Freeman will do a much better job I think and already is recruiting much better

May Brian Kelly NEVER win another game

Kelly is scared to join the acc

you know it's a crazy ending when the highlights start in the FOURTH QUARTER

37-0 over Michigan is always #1 for me. Shumate pick should have counted.

Putting the blowout over USC made this list so legit.

I was at the nd vs Clemson game go Irish

Standford goaline stand was the best imo

Shake down the thunder

I was at the ND-Toledo game

I like the Irish

I was at Hershey park with my brother and dad for the Pitt game, we had just about finished but I think I was on park WiFi so we couldn’t leave Anyway, I had my phone because my dads was slow and sometimes mine was. Well my phone ended up being behind his on coverage so basically three Notre dame fans (2 of them are 12 and 6) are screaming and cheering and it was a great time hahaha

Notice only one of those games they were wearing white jerseys

I get that 2013 MSU was a win against a good team, but good lord was that a terrible game to watch. One of the most forgettable "big wins" of the BK era as they only won because of pass interference calls.

I can honestly say that I’ve never had an appreciation for Brian Kelly… He was a very lazy and mediocre recruiter, threw his players under the bus, and many reports of not having his team ready for games ( that one is obvious). We don’t know if Freeman will be a good coach but we know he’s off to a great start on the recruiting trail.

My favorite BK win is when he accepted the LSU job.
