Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman defended having 10 men on the field on the final two plays of the game against Ohio State on Saturday night.
Chip Trayanum #19 of the Ohio State Buckeyes scores a touchdown against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish during the fourth quarter at Notre Dame Stadium on September 23, 2023, in South Bend, Indiana.
"To me, it was like, 'Hey, don't give them another opportunity to get settled and to try to make a different call,' right?" Freeman said via ESPN."'Hey, guys, stay off the field. Let's not give them a freebie from the half-yard line and let's try to stop them.'""And I thought maybe they would do the same thing they did the snap before, and then they ended up running the ball. So, I got to watch the play and see where the ball hit.
