Notre Dame Needs to Run The Table Down The Stretch

Transcript

00:00 So as we look at Notre Dame at the break, the conversation that you then look at is

00:09 okay, you see the schedule, you see what's in front of you.

00:13 Those need to be four wins, we all agree on that.

00:15 We need to see four wins.

00:17 And I've always said, Marcus Freeman has said it, that when you're talking about Notre

00:21 Dame and you're breaking down Notre Dame, it really comes down to Notre Dame needs to

00:25 play Notre Dame football, right?

00:27 You need to play your game.
