College football: No. 14 Notre Dame eager for bowl win vs. LSU to gain momentum
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly is pleased with how his team is preparing for its Citrus Bowl clash with No. 16 LSU.
There are some other concerns for the 14th-ranked Fighting Irish.
When it comes to practice, Kelly said he has been thrilled so far with how Notre Dame has responded to dropping two of its last three games. Attitude and aptitude had slipped, and Kelly said his players "looked like they were in biology class" as he tried to motivate them in the days before a 38-20 loss to Stanford on Nov. 25.
"There was no juice," Kelly recalled, "there was no excitement."
But at least through the campus bowl workouts before a four-day Christmas break, Kelly said the "quickness and crispness" had returned.
"You can see the sense of urgency that they are starting to practice with," he said, "a physicalness that we're looking for was quite apparent."
