DALLAS — Notre Dame offensive coordinator Chip Long knew his offense would need a day to get back in the flow of things after a few days off for Christmas.
The Irish got down to Dallas a day earlier than initially planned, which allowed Notre Dame to get adjusted to Cotton Bowl life and AT&T Stadium.
“We were able to come in an extra day early which really helped get our guys acclimated to the stadium,” stated Long. “We were able to knock off some of the rust from the holidays and to have a good practice yesterday was encouraging to see.
