Last night I talked to Nolan James, Tionne Gray, KVA and Coach Brian Jean-Mary and this was a fun article to write, especially since I'm still a bit amped from last Saturday. ☘️
☘️ 77,000-plus fans. A deafening Notre Dame Stadium. An Irish defense feeding off every roar.
What was it like on the field? Hear from the players and a coach who lived it.

Tionne Gray on how the crowd at Notre Dame Stadium impacted the Irish against Miami:
“It boosts your confidence … so we can just play more violent, more physical, and just faster.”☘️
Beating the No. 1 team in the country is a pretty effective way to get the CFP committee’s attention.
Notre Dame jumps six spots to No. 5.

☘️ NOTRE DAME–BC DEBUTED ON MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL!
On Monday, Sept. 15, 1975, the Irish visited Boston College for their first-ever meeting, televised on ABC. Keith Jackson had the call.
In Dan Devine’s Irish debut, ND broke a 3-3 halftime tie to win 17-3.

And now you know the rest of the story @DylanSinn @angdicarlo Sometimes what the camera catches is quicker than the eye!
Marcus Freeman has won some big games, including playoff games. But after @NDFootball's Saturday's win over Miami, he said: "I'm not going to sit here and say this is like the other ones. No, this is different."
A season was at stake. Legacies were on the line. ☘️
Through 3 qtrs. @NDFootball with just 45 yards rushing on 16 carries. That is 2.8 ypc.

Crowd noise is disruptive. I’m having a difficult time talking to the writers sitting right next to me. No hearing aid jokes please. ☘️

I’ve covered 20 bowl games. I’ve covered playoff games, I’ve covered National Championship games. Most impressive pre game. EVER.☘️
Student section was basically filled 90 minutes before kickoff. @DylanSinn and I have never seen anything like it before. 20 minutes before game time is the norm for @NDFootball #Hurricanes #Irish ☘️
For the 10th time in Notre Dame Stadium history, the Irish will host the nation’s No. 1 team today.
The Irish have won four of those matchups: Northwestern (1936), Miami (1988), Florida State (1993) and Clemson (2020). ☘️🏈
BELIEVE.....obviously Lou was ahead of his time. @HoltzHeroes
