Notre Dame: Breaking Down The Marcus Freeman Defense
Notre Dame made a huge offseason splash when head coach Brian Kelly was able to convince Marcus Freeman to come on board as his next defensive coordinator.
We've already seen Freeman's recruiting chops at work, but he was hired first and foremost because of the outstanding defense's he built at Cincinnati. In the latest Irish Breakdown episode we dive into the film room to look at what makes Freeman's defense so good.
The episode begins with an overview of Freeman's defense. To sum it up, his defense is multiple, aggressive and sound, and we explain what that means and what that looks like.
We talk about the many different personnel looks Freeman shows, why his version of the 3-3-5 is so much better against the run than most, and what he likes to do on the back end from a coverage standpoint.
