The USC Trojans will end the 2024 regular season with a 6-6 record following a loss against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. After the game, Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman spoke about the close matchup.
After the game, Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman spoke about the win. Freeman began by talking about how close the game was, highlighting how happy he was to win against a tough USC team.
The win helps with the chances of Notre Dame making the College Football Playoffs and potentially with a high seeding. Freeman stated that he is not focused on the postseason yet. He is focused on celebrating his team winning at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum against a tough rival to close the season.
“Before the game, the challenge was we have to win this game at the line of scrimmage. We have to win this game up front and recognize some of the different pressures that they bring defensively,” Freeman said. “I thought our offensive linemen did a great job at recognizing and really communicating and executing. Like, they played a physical physical affair up front. And they kept coming off the field saying keep running coach, keep running.
“Selfishly, I was thinking about the turnover margin,” Freeman said. “There’s been only one game we’ve lost a turnover margin this year, and that was Northern Illinois. And I’m like, man, this is going against everything I believe, and I tell the team about how important the turnover margin is because we were up in the game and down two in a turnover margin. Then we get a pick-six; now we’re down one. We get another pick-six.
