Trojans opened the second half with another scoring drive, this one an 80- yard possession that needed just five plays to reach the end zone. That run took the Irish crowd out of the game, but Notre Dame's coaches and players never lost confidence. "I just never sensed that our football team didn't believe that they were go- ing to win today," said head coach Brian Kelly, who improved to 4-2 against the Trojans. "I thought those were big things for me to see from our team today. It turned some question marks into excla- mation points relative to their mental toughness today." ✦ Rushing No. Gain Lost Net Avg.
