Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly is calling on the NCAA to clarify targeting rules after quarterback DeShone Kizer took two tough hits during Saturdays loss to Virginia Tech.Its just not right. Were either going to protect the quarterback or were not going to protect the quarterback, Kelly said in the postgame news conference. ... Just have to figure out what they want to do with this. The supervisor of officials has got to make a clear edict as to how they want this officiated. He clearly has not made it clear enough how this is going to go.Kizer was hit while sliding for a first down in the third quarter and remained in the game. He was forced out for the final play of the 34-31 loss after being hit on a scramble, leaving Malik Zaire to take the last snap.On Sunday, Kelly added that he didnt understand why the officials didnt look at either hit.Its clear on film that it was a helmet-to-helmet on a defenseless player. ... Its just beyond me why it doesnt get reviewed, Kelly said. Thats what their job is, to review it.The Fighting Irish have submitted tape of the hits to the supervisor of officials for review, Kelly said.For his part, Kizer said he was feeling fine Saturday.Any time you get hit, youre gonna take a bruise of some sort, Kizer said. Let the adrenaline kick in, get back out there and continue to do your job.On Saturday, Kelly compared the hits to those that?Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has taken this season and wondered whether NFL commissioner Roger Goodell could help the NCAA officiate bigger, mobile quarterbacks.Im going to ask them to go see Roger Goodell, Kelly said. That may be the way to do it. Maybe he could do something about it.Kizer is 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds.The loss to the Hokies dropped Notre Dame to 4-7 on the year, clinching their first losing season since 2007 and first under Kelly.

NEW YORK -- The biggest surprise Monday for 10-year-old Rainn Sheppard, competing at the Junior Olympics in Houston and far from the New York City homeless shelter she shares with her two sisters and mother, wasnt the gold medal she won in the 3,000 meters.It was the arrival of her mother.Rainn and her sisters, 11-year-old Tai and 8-year-old Brooke, had hoped merely to make their mother proud, since she couldnt afford to make the trip from the Brooklyn shelter herself. But as Rainn was being interviewed by a local reporter Monday at the race venue, Tonia Handy surprised her daughter with a giant hug.I couldnt believe she was here, Rainn said in a phone interview. I still cant believe it.After The Associated Press wrote Friday about the familys challenges, a New York philanthropist contacted Handy and bought her a plane ticket.Shortly after the surprise, Rainn went on to win the gold medal in the 3,000-meter race for her age group. Her two sisters compete in their first events Tuesday.The girls and their mother have been homeless since early last year, when they were evicted from their Brooklyn apartment for failing to pay the rent. Handy, 46, has a job answering phones at a car service, but it hasnt been enough to support the family. She has been raising her family alone for a decade. After a stint in a motel, they wound up in a city shelter.The girls, who still have their estraanged fathers last name, started competing in track in January 2015.ddddddddddddAfter reading about the family, Ken Smaltz Jr., who runs an Alzheimers foundation and owns a rare coin business, reached out to Handy and offered to pay for her flight to Houston. Smaltz said he never intended to be public about the gesture, but spoke after the AP tracked him down.It just feels nice to help someone, he said.That hasnt been the only offer of help. Other people who saw her story contributed at least $7,000 to a crowd funding website that Handy had set up to raise money for the trip -- more than twice the original goal. Handy said she has since shut the site down and redirected donors to the website of their team, the Jeuness Track Club.Handy said she has also received calls from people asking for her resume with the intention of offering her a better job. The mayors office, she said, has contacted the family and asked to set up a meeting when they get back to New York. Local track teams sent gifts and cards to the girls entire team.For Handy, who had felt like she was burdening the team because she couldnt pitch in financially, the support has been extra meaningful.Now it feels like not only can I be on the team, but I can actually give to the team, she said.
