Marcus Freeman joined College GameDay ahead of Monday night’s national championship game between Indiana and Miami—a big-time opportunity for the Notre Dame coach to promote his program ahead of the biggest game of the college football season. And he wasn’t about to give Miami any added motivation, even for a game that won’t take place for nearly 11 months.
As guest picker, Freeman was tasked with picking a winner between the Hoosiers and Hurricanes. After Miami resident Desmond Howard and former Dolphins coach Nick Saban each picked the Canes to upset IU, Freeman was up—and he had a bit of an ulterior motive for his selection.
