No. 13 Notre Dame is embarking on another milestone moment Saturday. One of college football's most storied programs will host Tennessee State — marking the first time the Fighting Irish have faced a Historically Black College or University or an FCS school.
Freeman acquired during the offseason, Notre Dame’s highest total in the transfer portal era.
George also tapped into the portal, collecting 14 players from FBS schools including defensive back Tyler Jones from Missouri and receiver Lucien Brunetti from Tennessee. He also added 6-5 tight end Trenton Gillison, who once played at Michigan State.George said it’s “fine and dandy” that this coaching matchup features two Ohio State alumni and that he respects what Freeman has done as he begins his second season in charge of the Irish.
“It’s going to be an honor and a privilege to coach against him,” George said. “I think he’s a fine human being, and certainly the program of Notre Dame speaks for itself.” George has at least one good memory of facing the Irish. He rushed for 207 yards and three scores in a 45-25 victory during his Heisman winning season. Freeman was an Ohio State linebacker from 2004–08 and remembers admiring George’s play.
“There’s many games I’ve watched of Eddie George,” Freeman said. “He was a great player. I don’t remember any distinct one, but to see him win the Heisman is a moment that I remember as a young person. We’ve met each other many times throughout my time at Ohio State. He’s always been a first-class individual.”did not issue a betting line on this game after the Tigers went 4-7 last season.
