Probably a misquote.He must have said "We're a lot slower than I thought".

Here's a little more context.

Q.Just at a big picture level after Alabama, you said it's pretty clear what you need to do to get over the top. How did that experience change winter conditioning? What you want to get done during spring ball?

Coach Kelly: My comments after the game and my comments after I got a chance to watch the film were a little bit different.

I thought watching the game there were some things there that we weren't in a position yet to even come close to. But we're a lot closer than I thought.

On the defensive line, we weren't pushed around, as many people had talked about. That was a concern of mine.

I think looking at where we wanted to go after that game, continue to recruit depth within the program. If there was one thing that stood out for me, we were in that game, and we lacked depth at some critical positions which didn't allow us to do some of the things I would have liked to in that period of time before the game, especially on the offensive line.

So in the recruiting process, that's one answer towards that question.

The second answer towards that question is to just continue to build the strength of your football team. We need to continually get bigger, faster, stronger. Year four is seeing those results really hit home for us right now.

I really wanna know what film he was watching that makes him think the D-Line wasn't "pushed around"... From my viewing standpoint thats exactly what happened.

Ole Miss could have beaten that team.

That game film should be marketed and sold as "how to push around a defensive line." Where he gets this notion it was any other way is beyond me, wishful thinking I guess.

Bama, UGA, UScar, UF, LSU, and TAM would have beaten ND

There was no part of that game that ND was in other than showing up at the stadium. Brian Kelly must've watched the game film edited by Lou Holtz
