No. 9 Notre Dame took an early lead over the No. 21 Temple Owls on a touchdown run from DeShone Kizer.

What’s wrong with this picture?
So, to recap: A player from Notre Dame, a program drenched in tradition that has played in countless games bigger than tonight’s, felt the need to talk some junk at Temple, a team that has never been good and is literally playing its first big game ever. Got it.
Maybe Temple players were talking a whole mess of trash before the game or during that drive. It’s hard to tell without actually being on the field. Based on this Vine, it’s certainly possible that Kizer was responding to some noise from a Temple player after the touchdown.
