Irish Must Cowboy Up in Fiesta

Fifth-ranked Notre Dame (11-1) begins the Marcus Freeman era on New Year’s Day with a matchup against ninth-ranked Oklahoma State (11-2) in the Playstation Fiesta Bowl. Freeman was named head coach a month ago when his predecessor abandoned ship for LSU after twelve seasons in South Bend. It’s been a busy month of recruiting and tending to the administrative duties of the position, but Freeman’s primary focus has been preparation for his team’s debut performance against a quality opponent. The game will be played in Glendale, Arizona and will start at 11:00 AM local time, which is 1:00 PM on the East Coast and 10:00 AM Pacific time.
