Notre Dame Quote of the Weekend

“Yeah, they did a really good job in their man coverage. Even with some shifts, some motions, they did a good job locking on. We didn’t have a lot of guys running free, and hats off to their defensive scheme. They did a good job.”

— Boise State coach Spencer Danielson on the Irish secondary following Saturday’s game.
