Welcome with the latest episode of the shamrock. I'm Pete Sampson. Join my

Mat for Tuna after Norems 12-7 win over Louisville.

Not in any way, shape, or form what I expected today in terms of the scoring margin,

how Notre Dame played offensively, certainly a bunch of better performance defensively

from Notre Dame at the time of the game, a lovely two hours and 52 minutes.

Wow, might be sure we're on this podcast.

Yeah, and also, but just like the only thing that was consistent from last week to this

week is Clemson's carrying the living crap out of you if you're a Notre Dame fan.

I guess, Matt, from a distance, what did you take away from Notre Dame's performance today?

I certainly have some takes from a local perspective.

I have some takes as well.

I've got to be honest, I'm just not as doom and gloom as everyone is about this performance.

I know, like, Notre Dame Twitter is burning at the seams right now.

I can kind of see the smoke coming from your baldhead in that private tiny room of

years in Notre Dame Stadium right now.

Look, it wasn't pretty.

And when you put that in one picture and you put Clemson having the biggest win in the

history of the ACC over a conference opponent in another picture,

side by side, just a couple hours beforehand. Yeah, it should scare the crap out of you

if you're a Notre Dame fan. I get that. I just think it's 18 to 22 year old kids playing a game

where the ball bounce is funny and most of them lose this kind of game when you don't have your A game. Notre Dame at least has the best offensive line in the country. Even though they didn't always look like it, there's something to be said for getting the ball with, what was it, seven plus minutes left and just saying, all right, game over. Stop us. You won't. You're going to need more than that, B. Clemson, and every conversation we have from here on out is going to be put in that light so I get it it's not a pretty picture but like shit happens like they won like I don't I mean I'm kind of of the Brian Kelly and even Ian Buck who sounds more and more like Brian Kelly and Tommy Reese in his post game interviews just kind of you know you know, cool, common collected, nothing to worry about.

We got a good offensive line.
