00:00The Fighting Irish not having much fight to get across the finish line versus NIU
00:07but it was an emotional win for NIU and our lovely production team mentioned
00:12this nugget. You got Marcus Freeman who has fallen short when it comes to a 20
00:17plus point spread to teams such as NIU, Marshall and Samford a couple years ago
00:23in his three or four year time leading the Fighting Irish. So if you did you see
00:29the video of the head coach and his reaction when they beat the the Notre
00:32Dame team? Yeah and look this this was special stuff for for Northern Illinois
00:37you know first top 10 win massive there what they go off 28 28 and a half point
00:42dog so look this is a monster effort for Notre Dame not good enough but for
00:47Northern Illinois I mean this is what makes college football so fantastic this
00:51is what moves the needle Thomas Hammock there and I tell you what he played back
00:55at the program back in the day took over the reins here in 2019 and these
01:00the ones that mattered the most what a special afternoon it was Notre Dame had
01:04a real good chance at the death they're trying to send one between the post but
01:07just wasn't meant to be. Yeah I mean I would say this heading into this matchup
01:12I think it was noted that both of these teams were gonna probably stack up
01:16defensively it's just was underestimated how well the Huskies were able to do so
01:20I know they're really strong in their defensive front but it was a good win in
01:24terms of what college football is all about bringing that emotion back to the
01:28game and it wasn't a massive loss for Notre Dame but it was a worthy win for
01:32the Huskies.
