Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman told reporters it is “never easy to come in here after a loss no matter who it is to” after Marshall pulled off a massive upset against Notre Dame on Saturday.
The Thundering Herd shocked the No. 8 Irish in South Bend with a 26–21 victory. Freeman said, “We did not execute the way we needed to, to win this game.”
Despite a scoreless first quarter, Marshall took the lead heading into halftime and held it into the third. Notre Dame’s offense seemed sluggish while its defense arguably kept the team in the game. Freeman said, “We’ve got to take a hard look at ourselves and get back to work.” He later added Notre Dame needs to look internally to find ways to improve.
