Ex-Notre Dame head coach Lou Holtz did not backtrack when he was asked to respond to Ohio State coach Ryan Day’s comments after the Buckeyes' win over Notre Dame.
"Notre Dame was a better football team," Holtz told Dakich."I felt Notre Dame won the football game. All we had to do was fall on the ball."
"I don't feel bad about saying it because I believed it," Holtz told Dakich."Notre Dame was a better football team. Three times,had fourth and 1, ran the ball and couldn't make it. ... If I was coaching, I would have said it. I would [have] went to our team and said, 'I think you're better. I think you're more physical. I think you're more talented.'
"We needed to win like that, to stop that narrative that's going on, because it's not true," Day noted."He doesn't want to talk about [losing to] Michigan, 0-2, he doesn't want to talk about the big games coming up against Penn State andagain," Holtz said."He's a great coach. He's done a tremendous job. He's a great offensive mind. ... Ohio State's a good football team. I don't think they're a great football team.
