Welcome to the latest episode of the Shamrock. I'm Pete Samson, join my Matt Fortuna.

0:19.1

We're coming to you very quickly after Brian Kelly's first media availability since

0:24.2

right after the South Florida game, roughly when things shut down about two days later.

0:29.4

And then we also got a chance to talk to head trainer Rob Hunt about some of Notre Dame's

0:33.4

protocols, what's working, what's not, what needs to change.

0:39.2

Matt, you were on the call, too. Overall,

0:46.2

I mean, I thought it was incredibly insightful and especially Rob Hunt really cut to the chase on a lot of,

following all the rules, and making sure they can do things safely. And so I'm sure there's a part
