  09/25/19 - TE *Cole KmetJr/2020, Notre Dame

  When it came time for tight end Cole Kmet's season debut, Notre Dame skipped the hors d'oeuvres. "We put him right in the frying pan," coach Brian Kelly said. On their first play from scrimmage against at No. 3 Georgia before a howling crowd at sold-out Sanford Stadium, quarterback Ian Book connected for an eight-yard gain with Kmet, who had missed No. 10 Notre Dame's first two victories while recuperating from surgery for a broken right collarbone suffered Aug. 8 in practice. "I knew the first play on Thursday," Kmet said of preparations last week. "Coach (Chip) Long (Notre Dame's offensive coordinator) said 'We're going to get you going.' With (Long), if you make a play, he's going to come back to you."

Before the drive was over, Long would call Kmet's number twice more for receptions of 10 and 15 yards. And before the night was over, the 6-foot-5 1/2, 250-pound junior from suburban Chicago would tie a single-game reception record for Fighting Irish tight ends with nine, good for 108 yards and Notre Dame's first touchdown in an eventual 23-17 loss. "It felt good to come out and play well against an opponent like that," Kmet said. "You always appreciate the game more when you get hurt." Notre Dame has been waiting for Kmet to take his place on the mantle established by previous tight ends at the school, from 1949 Heisman Trophy winner Leon Hart to All-Americans Dave Casper, Mark Bavaro, John Carlson and Tyler Eifert, the all-time leader in tight end receptions for a season (63) and career (140). - AP College Football
