Although Notre Dame came close to winning its thrilling opening game vs. Miami on Sunday night, that honor ultimately went to the Canes, who sealed the deal on a 47-yard go-ahead field goal with 1:04 left on the clock. But Irish head coach Marcus Freeman wisely did not hit the panic button immediately after; instead, he noted that, for his squad, the "effort was there," a message he continued into the locker room.
In a video shared by ND's social media team, Freeman is heard delivering a fiery and inspiring postgame speech to a rapt audience of players. In our opinion, it's good enough to motivate really anyone listening, player or not, and it seems like the internet is also in agreement.
