As the Notre Dame football team dominated FSU, head coach Marcus Freeman spoke about how proud he is of his group.

In my exclusive interview with Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman, he told me how he has kept the Fighting Irish motivated since their Northern Illinois collapse.

Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman stepped up to the podium Monday afternoon to discuss the 52-3 victory over the Florida State Seminoles and previews the game against Virginia this Saturday. The Irish play their final home game of the season this weekend which means Senior Day will play a factor in this matchup.

The Florida State Seminoles had no answers for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Saturday night, losing 52-3 inside Notre Dame Stadium. It was an embarrassing loss for the Seminoles who are now 1-9 on the season and did not win a road game all season.
