Despite Dominant Start, 'Chasing Perfection' Remains Notre Dame Football Standard

Marcus Freeman said the Irish must avoid distractions as they chase a College Football Playoff berth after opening with two wins.

  • On Thursday, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman urged his team to focus on the current season rather than dwelling on past losses, as the Irish remain undefeated at 2-0.
  • Freeman cautioned against the fan-driven "revenge tour" mentality, emphasizing that fixating on last year's defeats distracts from reaching the College Football Playoff.
  • The Irish opened their season with a 41-13 victory over Wisconsin at Lambeau Field, followed by a win against Rice at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind.
  • Addressing the team's mindset, Freeman said the Irish must ignore whether a loss was "56D6CG65." or who "D9@F=5'G6." won, prioritizing future performance over past grievances.
  • With a 2-0 record, the program is capable of reaching the College Football Playoff if the team maintains discipline throughout the upcoming schedule, Freeman believes.
