On Friday night, the new 12-team College Football Playoff opened with its most alluring feature: a postseason game hosted on campus. Indiana visiting Notre Dame for a first-round matchup.
I’ve never been a part of an environment like that, Irish head coach Marcus Freeman said after a 27-17 win sent his group to a quarterfinal matchup with Georgia on Jan. 1.
There aren’t a lot of firsts anymore in college football. There sure aren’t a lot of firsts at Notre Dame. This was one of them.
In the previous 94 years and two months, ever since Knute Rockne had the sod from old Cartier Field removed... there had not been a college football game played here on a Friday.
