Miami of Ohio Redhawks head coach Chuck Martin is looking forward to his team’s visit to Notre Dame Saturday.
Echoing the words of Rudy’s father from the movie “Rudy”, Martin is seeing Notre Dame Stadium as sacred ground.
“My personal opinion, we’re going to the greatest venue on the planet,” Martin said in a press conference. He went on to say he’s been a Notre Dame fan since childhood, when he’d watch the games the day after on replay.
He said when he was growing up, he looked at Notre Dame as “this is the only team that matters on the planet.”
The Fighting Irish will aim to avoid overlooking a Mid-American Conference team at home for the second time this season. Hopefully the Irish learned from the debacle against Northern Illinois. Perhaps, too, the Huskies are better than most observers thought going into the season.
If the Irish play to their standard against the Redhawks, the day should go smoothly. And Martin will be taking it in from the sideline of what he thinks is the best stadium in the world.
