Urban Meyer defends Notre Dame's bowl decision with the Irish still getting bashed

Marcus Freeman and the rest of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish must be feeling good about their decision to opt out of the postseason after hearing what Urban Meyer had to say.

On The Triple Option, Meyer's podcast with Rob Stone and Mark Ingram, the former Ohio State and Florida head coach surprisingly defended the Irish's decision to decline their bowl invitation after Notre Dame didn't earn a spot in the College Football Playoff.

"If [the Notre Dame Fighting Irish did go to a bowl game, I’m saying half that team would refuse to play," Meyer said.
