It was an ugly performance all around for the Irish, who are now 0-3 during Freeman’s brief time as head coach. On Saturday, the Irish came out of the gates sluggish and fell behind 9-7 at halftime.

No. 2 Ohio State scored its fewest points since 2018 in a 21-10 win over No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday night. The high-flying Buckeyes offense was slowed by a great Notre Dame gameplan and an injury to star wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. But Ohio State had just enough to get the job done after preseason Heisman favorite C.J. Stroud hit Xavier Johnson for a go-ahead 24-yard TD with 17 seconds left in the third quarter. The catch was Johnson’s first collegiate TD. Ohio State took a 7-3 lead… Source link

Everything was going wonderfully in Marcus Freeman’s debut as Notre Dame head coach. And then the wheels fell off. Facing Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl, Notre Dame was carving up the OSU defense with its passing game and jumped out to a 28-7 lead late in the first half.

Instead, Oklahoma State stormed back and scored 30… Source link

When seeking a burrito after arriving, he was stunned when teammates directed him to… Source link
