Notre Dame just needed its first win of a college football season that started so sideways to arrive in any way, shape or form
it as the head coach exited early Saturday evening, as much as you couldSomewhere along the way, once the post-game stuff was done and the sun had set, there might even be a celebration, maybe a presentation of the game ball, which would go somewhere on some mantle for Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman.
The coach in him wouldn’t let him. He probably dwelled too long on what the Irish could do better . He probably dwelled too long what the Irish didn’t do. He may have even taken a peek at some North Carolina film before midnight. He wanted to enjoy it and embrace it, but he’s a head coach. It’s hard.
They won’t say it, and they haven’t, but there had to be a ton of pressure on everyone to get the first one for Freeman. Pressure on Notre Dame out in the desert on New Year’s Day in the Fiesta Bowl. Didn’t happen. Pressure in Columbus two weeks prior. Didn’t happen. An enormous amount the previous Saturday back at home for the first time. Also, didn’t happen.
“Oh … ,” came the response from someone at field level watching that last place fly through the air toward a host of bodies down there in the south end zone.
