Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman emphasized recovery and preparation on a short week after Wisconsin, but still chose a more physical Tuesday session instead of the lighter practice option.

Freeman defended Notre Dame quarterback CJ Carr's decisions when asked about balancing explosive downfield concepts against taking available gains, saying Carr had done what the offense required rather than signaling a change in approach.

Rice's shotgun-option offense was the specific schematic reason Freeman gave for Notre Dame's more physical Tuesday preparation.
