2012 BRONkO NAgURSkI TROPHY AWARDS BANQUET PRESENTED BY ACN

Brian Kelly, a veteran of

21 seasons as a collegiate

head coach heads into

his third season as the 29th

head football coach at the

University of Notre Dame.

Currently the fifth-winningest active coach in

the NCAA Football Bowl

Subdivision, Kelly has guided

Notre Dame to 16 wins over

the last two seasons. His 110

victories as a head coach since

2001 are more than all but two

active FBS head coaches

Oklahomas Bob Stoops and

Mack Brown of Texas.When Kelly was hired

at Notre Dame he said

two things he needed to

accomplish early in his tenure

were shoring up the defense

and getting the players to

be mentally and physically

stronger so they could

compete for all four quarters

of all 12 games. Through hisfirst two seasons, Kellys

defense was one of 13 units

in the FBS that allowed fewer

than 21 points per game in

both seasons. It was the

first time an Irish defense

accomplished that feat in

a decade.

The Irish were led on

offense by wide receiverMichael Floyds school-record

100 receptions and the

running back duo of Cierre

Wood and Jonas Gray that

combined for 1,893 yards and

21 touchdowns. Defensively,

Notre Dame held 12 of 13

teams below their season

scoring average and held 11 of

13 schools below their seasonrushing average.

Kellys first Irish squad in

2010 came on strong to play

perfectly in November. The

Irish success down the stretch

came mainly because of

its defense, as Notre Dame

went 13 consecutive periods

over one late, four-game

stretch without allowing anoffensive touchdown (the best

sequence in that category in

30 years).

Bronko Nagurski was a consensus All-America Defensive Tackle in 1929,

and also made All-America Teams that year as a fullback, the only player

ever picked at two positions.

Bronko went on to an outstanding career with the Chicago Bears (1930-1937, 43). He led the Bears to three NFL Championships. His name became

synonymous with the raw, brute force of football. Even today, people can point

to the brick wall he cracked when he ran into it carrying the ball for the Bears

one afternoon at Wrigley Field.

Created in 1993 by the Football Writers Association of America, the

Bronko Nagurski Trophy is awarded to the best defensive player in college

football and is presented by the Charlotte Touchdown Club.

The Awards Banquet not only recognizes the best college defensive

player, but also helps to raise money to recognize the recipients of regional

high school and college scholarships. All proceeds benefit the CharlotteTouchdown Club Scholarship Fund.
