Quote of the weekend
“Notre Dame’s history is a physical, pound it type of team. Coach Riley was like, ‘We’re that team. We have to embrace it as well. We have to go out there and show the world who we actually are.’ We’re not a team that is about all the flash, glitz and glamor. We’ll get in the trenches and actually work.”
