-- Brian Thomas Jr. has cleared concussion protocol and will play this weekend, per Brian Kelly.
-- Kelly has had a number of discussions with players about who's returning and who's not next season. Kelly said it's a personal preference if some want to take part in Senior Day. Expects some players to go public in the "next week or two" with announcements.
-- Kelly: "I'm used to playing mostly night game because those are the nationally televised games. ... Our routine is pretty good. You're playing at home. ... 11 a.m. is different. That was a difficult transition, which we got through."
-- Kelly on Josh Williams: "Josh is probably the least heralded player in the backfield. He ended up being a captain for us in three different games...all those traits are what we've been looking for."
-- Kelly on Jayden Daniels: "It's been a process. We've seen good days and days of growth. You have to have a QB that has the tools necessary. He's got to be coachable and the ability to fight through adversity and a system that fits."
-- Kelly added that at the start of camp the offense was not put in to fit a specific quarterback. But now, things have changed. "This offensive system is now installed for Jayden Daniels and we've really tweaked it to fit that."
