Notre Dame Falls Flat in Marcus Freeman’s Home Debut

When the game clock expired, “We Are Marshall” chants echoed from the southeast corner of Notre Dame Stadium. Most Thundering Herd players jumped in celebration as they ran to center field, while a few remained on the sidelines and hugged one another with tears streaming down their cheeks.

Few expected a Marshall jubilee upon the completion of Marcus Freeman’s home opener as the head coach of Notre Dame.
