Everything you need to know from day two of Notre Dame’s New York media blitz

It was day two of Notre Dame football’s media blitz in New York City, and everything ran like a well-oiled machine. This post isn’t “everything that happened” for day two, but it should cover most of th happenings.

To be honest, there is very little new stuff here that is actually consequential to Notre Dame’s season, but we love a good soundbite, high quality gin, and well produced video — so let’s go.

THE EXPECTATION

It’s kind of silly to think that there would be any other answer than “we expect to win every game we play” when you’re one of the favorites to win a national championship, but somehow it’s one of those things that puts a burr up people’s asses — and Marcus Freeman spoke with some tact.

STAYING PUT

Speaking of tact… Marcus Freeman once again provides a good example of its use during an interview. The question about Marcus Freeman staying at Notre Dame or going to the NFL at the end of the season was definitely up in the air for a little bit, but he has clearly stated multiple times that he wants to stay at Notre Dame for a long time — including in this interview.

LEONARD MOORE HAS A RULE

Leonard Moore is the best cornerback in college football and on the cover of EA Sports CFB 2027. He has a run though.

PRODUCING DRAFT PICKS

Marcus Freeman talks about how special it was for his players to be drafted this spring, but odds are we may be talking about more than double the number next spring.

WOULD HAVE BEEN A PLAYER COACH IN THE OLD DAYS

Remember when sports had player coaches? Pretty sure if this was 1921, Freeman would be one of those.

CJ CARR IS READY TO GO TO WORK

Of course he is. He has an incredible offensive line and a good selection of weapons around him.

REPLACING OTHER WEAPONS

The arsenal is short a couple of heavy hitters, but Freeman talks about how they go about what they do next.

LEAVE NO DOUBT

There should be no doubt about Notre Dame’s mindset going into the season.
