Marcus Freeman spoke to the media on Sunday and heaped praise on the Hoosiers.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman had his pre-College Football Playoff press conference on Sunday.
“They play, as I often say, with the clarity that you look for,” Freeman said. “It's a team that plays fast, a team that understands what they're doing, why they're doing it, how they're doing it. You can tell they understand what's expected of them. They make quick and fast decisions.” “They do some unique things with their D line, with their second level defense in terms of pressure packages, but also some different stunts that you don't see every week,” he said.

He is a veteran. He's been in big games, he's played a lot of football games, and he makes really good decisions.
Rourke threw for 349 yards in flurries and cold conditions in Indiana’s last game against Purdue on Nov. 30. But Purdue’s defense is obviously nowhere near the challenge Notre Dame’s defense will be on Friday.
