Let's move over to the Notre Dame defense and talk about the keys there.

0:19.8

Last week it was just kind of like, hey, just do your thing, do what you do.

0:23.4

This week, I think there are some things that this defense has a little bit to prove this

0:26.6

week, more so than last week.

0:27.9

And the biggest thing is, I would argue the two biggest disappointments for me so far this

0:33.1

1:17.3

the counter to that, which is creating negatives and rushing the quarterback. They're doing neither of

1:28.3
