FREEMAN'S FOCUS: Coach Freeman looks to the past to prepare for the future

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame Football Head Coach Marcus Freeman looks to the past to prepare for the future, that being the college football playoff game against the IU Hoosiers.

“Sometimes it takes the performance that we had versus NIU to go back and say, 'Hold on. What lessons do we have to learn?'" said Freeman.

If the past 10 weeks are any indication of that preparation, then IU may be in for a long night and the Irish could be headed for a deep playoff run.
