Notre Dame’s heartbreaking loss to Ohio State last weekend came with a ton of scrutiny, as the Fighting Irish had just 10 defenders on the field during the final play from scrimmage, which resulted in a game-winning Buckeyes touchdown. Since the loss, head coach Marcus Freeman and his team have had to address how to make sure the crucial mistake doesn’t occur again.
However, that wasn’t the first time this season that Notre Dame had made that mistake. In Notre Dame’s Week 1 game against Tennessee State, the Fighting Irish had only 10 players on defense while Tigers were nearing the red zone.
Fortunately for Notre Dame, that play resulted in an incomplete pass.
