Panken netted his first career goal to put the Irish on the board in the 3-0 win at Syracuse on Sept. 13, 2013. He also pushed the Irish ahead 3-2 with his goal in the 4-2 win over Wake Forest in the NCAA round of 16 match on Dec. 1, 2013, and again put the Irish ahead, 1-0, Notre Dame’s 2-1 victory over Michigan State in the NCAA quarterfinals onD ec. 7, 2013.

I hope that the underclassmen will see the standards that my class- mates and I hold ourselves to and take these on to be their own.” With another year of eligibil- ity to chug along, Panken could have one more season to rein- force those standards. “My plans for next year are still a bit up in the air,” Panken said. “I am eligible for a fifth year for soccer and would love to take that. “I will also be applying to medical school next year, so I will just have to wait and see where life takes me.” In the meantime, between winning potential NCAA titles and MCAT prep, Panken and his engine-like grittiness will help the Irish take on their first ACC opponent of the season, No. 9 Clemson, on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Alumni Stadium.

Smith finished the game with one sack among his seven tackles. D efensive improvements Though the Irish defense Pi a d AdvERTISEMENT kept Texas out of the red zone for the entirety of Saturday’s 38-3 win and yielded just a field goal to the Longhorns, Kelly said the sample size of a single game is too small to determine how good his de- fense is. However, he said he knows what the defense will need to do to have a strong season. “Certainly, the measure- ment of a great defense will be in its longevity,” Kelly said. “I think we saw some good things last year and then some injuries, obvious- ly, derailed us. I think that will certainly be the case again this year. We’re go- ing to need to keep some key players on the field.” Kelly said his fully-stocked defense was able to chal- lenge Texas’ offense in a way the Irish struggled in last year.

We actually drove them out at tempo, which is a first for our defense in a sense that, obvi- ously, that was a problem for us last year.” Anchoring that defense was junior linebacker Jaylon Smith, who led the way with seven tackles and a sack Saturday. Kelly did not shy away from revealing how Smith stacked up against other players he’s coached in his 23-year career. “Short answer, I haven’t coached a player like him be- fore, period,” Kelly said. “ … He can line up with his hand on the ground. He can cover the inside receiver. He can play in the box. He can tack- le in open space. There’s not much he can’t do. He’s a rare, rare defensive player. It’s just fun watching him play.”
