College football insider Josh Pate is opening up about how his Notre Dame versus Miami credential was revoked.
On "Josh Pate's College Football Show," Pate explained that Notre Dame revoked field access for his crew after revising its credential policy. Instead of staying in South Bend, Pate and his crew returned to Nashville.
“What a spectacle. I wish we could have been there,” he said (via Awful Announcing). “They had a little reversal on the field credential policy at the 11th hour, which sucked. Didn’t like that at all, but whoever makes that call is whoever makes that call. So we came home. We weren’t even up there for the game. But man, for the people who were there, it looked pretty incredible.”

Pate was disappointed that he couldn't attend the game, but he has no animosity towards Notre Dame. He said the decision came from someone high up in the administration, and other people were also denied access.

Josh Pate Is Not Upset With Notre Dame
“There was someone administratively way up the chain at Notre Dame that yanked a bunch of people’s field credentials at the 11th hour,” he added. “So, whoever did that, I’m not all that pleased with. Everybody else at Notre Dame, including most of the people we normally deal with there, I don’t put that on their plate.”
As for the game, Notre Dame won 31-24 and handed Miami its first loss of the year. Both teams are 8-1 and ranked in the top five of the AP poll.
"What a night, what a moment for this program, for this university, for so many people that love this place — a special moment," Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman said after the game, per Jack Soble of Blue and Gold. "It’s hard to describe. You try to imagine what it will be. It’s hard to describe, but you’re grateful for the people that help your team get to that point and to find a way to get that victory, and you’re grateful for all the support that you have, man.
"So proud of those guys, the way they battled. And credit — because I talked about this before the game started — at some point, there’s going to be a struggle. I don’t know how it’s going to go. It always happens that way. It always happens that way."
