The day before helping Notre Dame win a College Football playoff game over Indiana, Irish special teams coach Marty Biagi became a dad to twins.

As the Irish sang the Alma Mater on the field, he called his dad who listened in from home. Hours later, Marty's dad passed away.

Stephen Biagi was a Notre Dame alum. He gave his son his Notre Dame jacket to wear to the playoff game. Marty did and continued wearing it until the national championship game.

Stephen and his mom met at Notre Dame. Same for Marty's grandparents and his brother and sister-in-law. Notre Dame is a big deal for the Biagi Family.

As is faith. Faith kept things together for Marty and so did his love of family.

We hope you enjoy this inspiring conversation about faith, family and football with Marty Biagi.
