Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman addressed local reporters Monday for the final time before the Irish end their regular season against USC on Saturday in Los Angeles.

Here’s everything Freeman had to say.

I had a little bit of time to reflect over the last 24-48 hours, just on the game on Saturday night. It was special. Saturday was a special night, not just because of the outcome but more so because of the honor it was to play against Army 100 years after the 1924 game in New York, obviously in this year’s Shamrock Series game in Yankee Stadium. Everything leading up to that game, the game, after the game, it reminds you that it wasn’t your typical Saturday night in college football. It was a special one, and a reminder of the privilege we all have to be part of this football program.

“Our guys performed well vs. a tough Army football team. I have the utmost respect for Coach [Jeff] Monken and the job he’s done there, and that football team we faced Saturday is a good one. As I usually say, there’s a lot of good. Plenty of things to learn from and get better and attack this week as we prepare to play for the Jeweled Shillelagh Trophy vs. USC. The players of the game were, on offense Jeremiyah Love, defense Adon Shuler and special teams Bryce Young. Scout players of the week on offense were Tyler Buchner, on defense Bodie Kahoun and special teams was Jerry Rullo.

“Couple injury updates: Howard Cross is still listed as questionable for this week. Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa will be out with a knee sprain, and Bodie Kahoun will be out with a lower-leg injury. KK Smith is out with a collarbone injury. He had surgery and his recovery is about four to six weeks.
