When Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman leads the Fighting Irish out onto the field at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the national championship game against the Ohio State Buckeyes, he'll be doing so as an opponent of his alma mater.
But Freeman, who spent three seasons with the Buckeyes as a player from 2006-08, still has a lot of love for Ohio State.
