Blue & Gold Illustrated: America's Foremost Authority on Notre Dame Football

BLUEGOLDONLINE.COM NOV. 30, 2024 27 cused on the task at hand. In this in- stance, Army did not even come close. Notre Dame defensive coordinator Al Golden, in addition to head coach Mar- cus Freeman, had the Irish defense fully prepared for the intricacies of Army's option offense — and completely keyed in on Daily, which was paramount. "We knew we had to stop him," Free- man said. "That was the main priority. He is the person that makes that offense go. He's a tough, downhill, gritty football player. But we had to match that type of mentality. We wanted to attack their of- fensive line, and we wanted to attack him and put more people where they were trying to run than they could block." Mission accomplished. And when you throw in a vast talent disparity on top of a well-planned schematic vic- tory, it's a recipe for disaster for Monk- en's crew and a concoction for success for Freeman's. ✦ NOTRE DAME INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att.
