Coach Marcus Freeman begins his second season at Notre Dame trying to avoid the early-season miscues that plagued the Fighting Irish last season.
Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman looks on from the sideline during the first half of a game against Navy on Nov. 12, 2022.In his second season as Notre Dame’s coach, the 37-year-old Freeman intends to prove it by avoiding the early-season miscues that proved so costly last year.“I had a blueprint based on other individuals’ experiences being a head coach,” he said. “I gathered my own ideas, but I’d never done it. This year, you can make enhancements based on your own personal experience.
This year they start at No. 13 with a schedule laced with trap games around a handful of top-10 foes.“Everything starts to slow down,” said defensive coordinator Al Golden, who spent a decade as head coach at Temple and Miami. “You know where the potholes are and you know how to look around bends.” Hartman averaged more than 300 passing yards while throwing 39 and 38 touchdown passes over the last two seasons. He also completed more passes of 30 or more yards than any other FBS quarterback.Hartman’s presence also should help the ground game. The two starting tackles return, All-American Joe Alt and Blake Fisher, as well as rushing leader Audric Estimé.
“There’s ways we can enhance what we’re doing and take a step in our passing game or our run phase,” Parker said, “or how we operate against highly loaded boxes in the run game.”Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden speaks during a media availability on Feb. 16, 2022, at Notre Dame Stadium.
