Senior linebacker Cameron Smith questioned the competitive attitude of the team after the Notre Dame loss. “Any time you’re 5-7, you question the buy-in. That’s the easiest part to look at, how much people were into it.” “Sometimes with our team, there’s a question of attitude and the competitiveness. You can’t teach a kid to be competitive.
