Marcus Freeman Notebook | Orange Bowl

Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman spoke following the 27-24 win over Penn State in Thursday's Orange Bowl. 

Opening statement:
”So proud of this group. What a gritty performance, and they found a way when it matters the most to get their job done. Penn State was a heck of a football team. I had a lot of respect for them coming into the game but have more after the game. It's a really good team, well-coached, and it was a tough match-up.
