Aug. 19--SOUTH BEND -- New Notre Dame football Q Charm Brian Kelly has been a whirlwind over the past nine months. Now he wants his players to be that way.After accepting the coaching job last December, Kelly has flown from coast to coast to sell himself and his football program to recruits, alumni, and media.As the Fighting Irish began their fall practice R Charm this month, the speed of play was a common theme spoken by the players and Kelly alike."The speed of it," Notre Dame receiver John Goodman said.
That emphatic statement came in response when the former Bishop Dwenger star was asked about the offensive difference this season."The difference is S Charm practice also," Goodman said. "(Former coach Charlie Weis') practices weren't slow, but they were slower than we have now."The players have a lengthy list of new expectations that include attire off of the field (no earrings or hats in the football complex) and on the field (helmets on at all times).
But the noticeable difference at practice was the amount of running. Not just during drills, but to drills.The athletes scurry about at warp T Charm during every part of the session. There is no walking or even light jogging. That demand for speed will also be made on game day, according to Goodman."This is definitely the fastest type of practice and the fastest type of offense that you'll ever play in," the junior pass-catcher said. "It's not just a normal spread offense. It's a nonstop spread offense. We're going to throw out about 90 plays per game."
