Marshall vs Notre Dame Preview
After losing to Ohio State in week one — though it was considerably closer than many thought it would be — the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame are returning to the home field to take on the Thundering Herd of Marshall, who notched a victory in week one against Norfolk State by a score of 55-3.
In his pre-game press conference (via Fighting Irish Wire), Marshall head coach Charles Huff said that it will be an exciting game and he’s excited to be playing in such a “historical piece” of college football.
“[What stands out is] the overall history and tradition of how Notre Dame football has been played. It’s always been played with class, it’s always been played with really good, upstanding men and coaches. I think it stands for what truly is the core of college football,” said Huff, adding, “Obviously from the outside perspective, this is a huge game. Everyone is excited. From the historical piece of it of the place we’re going, all that’s great. The reality of it is that this game has no bearing on what our ultimate goal is and our ultimate goal is to play really well in the Sun Belt. Yes, every game the goal is to win, but if you focus on just winning you’ll never get to where you want to be.”
Huff also said the Notre Dame defense is going to be tough to stop.
“When you look at them defensively, they’ve got a really good front seven. Really good. … On the back end they play with speed. Obviously, coach Freeman has done a good job of being the defensive coordinator. You can tell those guys know where they’re going and why. I told the team they are probably going to play faster than you think they are because they know where to go, they can anticipate, they’re physical, they’re tough,” said Huff.
In his own pre-game press conference (via the Idaho County Free Press), Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman said that beating the spread against Ohio State was not a moral victory because the expectation was to walk away with a win.
“There’s no moral victories around here,” Freeman said of Notre Dame’s opening loss. “The expectation for us and this football program is to win every game we play, including playing the No. 2 team in the country. … We have to be better. When a team says, ‘Hey, we’re going to run the ball and try to run the clock out,’ we got to be able to step up and get a stop. We have to win the fourth quarter. We have to learn to finish.”
