Tom Noye of the South Bend Tribune. Tom, I talked to you right when this matchup was official.

0:05.7

So now the first question for the time that has elapsed since then would be this.

0:10.9

In your time getting ready for this game, have you been able to tell if Marcus Freeman

0:16.7

will put in any sort of new wrinkles for Notre Dame that he feels caters towards what Indiana could allow or be susceptible to,

0:25.2

or is Notre Dame basically going with, we got this far, we're pushing all in, this is who we are, try to stop us.

0:31.7

They're plowing straight ahead with what got him here, and it's Riley Leonard, Jeremiah Love, Judarian Price, a little bit of a
