WATCH: What Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman said about Ohio State after the game
Whew. It looked like Notre Dame was going to stop the five-game skid to Ohio State and finally slay the dragon in South Bend until the Buckeyes put together an improbable drive in a two-minute situation to wrestle a victory away from the clutches of defeat.
There’s a fine, fine line between winning and losing and a head coach feeling really good about his team’s performance vs. asking a lot of “what-ifs” and “if-onlys” when it comes to execution and second guessing.
Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman met with the media after the extremely heartbreaking loss for him and his team to face the music and thought his team just didn’t do quite enough to beat back a talented Ohio State squad.
He didn’t want to take anything away from the Buckeyes and gave them credit for the team they are and how they performed in the clutch, but lamented how close his team was save for a few plays where it didn’t live up to its potential.
