Marcus Freeman has been Notre Dame’s head coach for less than a calendar year and just wrapped up his tenth game at the helm. Overall his squad is 6-4 counting last season’s Fiesta Bowl defeat and has losses at home to lowly Marshall and Stanford. To confuse things a bit they also have road wins over North Carolina and Syracuse, both of which were ranked in the College Football Playoff’s top 20 this past week.
And now Freeman has a win over a top-five team as Notre Dame manhandled No. 4 Clemson 35-14 on Saturday night. For those who didn’t see the game, the final score is closer than the actual play on the field.
Here is everything Freeman had to say after what is easily the biggest win of his young head coaching career.
