Notre Dame Fighting Irish head football coach Marcus Freeman met with journalists Thursday as the team aims to bounce back from its 16-14 loss to the Northern Illinois Huskies last weekend. The coach dropped names, cleared up sideline remarks and illustrated the Irish mentality as they prepare for the Purdue Boilermakers.

On the state of Irish signal caller Riley Leonard’s practice since the NIU game, Freeman said, “Nobody’s roles have changed. Riley’s had a really good week of practice. He’s made some really good throws and done a really good job at decision-making, taking care of the football, and everybody else has done a great job, too, in terms of what they’ve been asked to do, but no one’s been asked to do anything differently this week than previously.
