Brian Kelly, frustrated by questions after Notre Dame Fighting Irish's loss, vows breakthrough

After falling to No. 1 Alabama 31-14 on Friday in the College Football Playoff semifinals, Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly bristled at questions about what the Irish need to do to win a national championship.
