Kiel is the tip of the iceburg, so says LBS LSU buddy.
He's hearing that at halftime some of the players approached CLM to suggest the JL be put in as QB, after all he did go 8-0 as a QB. When players loyal to JJ heard about it, the "discussion" that followed almost came to blows. CLM obvioulsy stayed the course, which could not help but alienate one of the two waring camps. Then in the 4th quarter CLM approached JL to tell him to get ready. Reportedly the players in the vacinity of JL heard him tell CLM to go [have relations with] himself.
WR RR chose to declare for the draft early, in spite of being told that he would be a a 3rd-4th rounder. This when he could have stayed and been positioned to be one of the leading WRs in the conference. (It was suggested that RR was in the JL camp.)
All this rumored to have gone down, one can't automatically rule out that lack-of team-cohesion is not a major factor in Kiel going to ND.
