Kelly savors 1st win, Michigan up next for Irish

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -Brian Kelly relaxed after his first victory at Notre Dame as only a coach can. He tuned in to some more football, catching the second half of a game involving the school he led to an unbeaten record last season.

After a long day of football and ceremony in which he helped sing the fight song in the locker room following Notre Dame's 23-12 win over Purdue on Saturday, Kelly says he watched the second half of Cincinnati's game against Fresno State.

What he'll be looking at this week is how to handle an improved Michigan team that beat Connecticut in its opener and will present a formidable challenge for an Irish defense that made a solid showing against the Boilermakers.
