ARLINGTON, Texas — All 118 Notre Dame football players, as well as all members of the coaching staff, were available to the media on Thursday morning at AT&T Stadium, followed by the team’s final full practice in preparation for the College Football Playoff National Semifinal at the 83rd Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.
The entirety of the roster was made available on the field at AT&T Stadium, with media ranging from national outlets to South Bend affiliates. The Irish had a chance to talk about the upcoming game, while also showing off a bit of personality.
After the media session, it was back to work as the team took a quick break to change into practice gear while the stadium crew and Cotton Bowl staff worked to tear down the tables on the field.
After practice, the team is headed to Children’s Medical Center in Dallas to visit with patients before returning to the hotel for meetings and dinner. Tomorrow will bring a final walk-through at AT&T Stadium.
