Brian, let's switch gears and let's talk about Notre Dame's defense.

Same format, five players,

one coach. Who are you starting with on the defensive side of the ball? Because I know we have

some similarities here as well. I'm going to work front to back here, Trevin.

It's going to be a lot of front and a lot of back, nothing in the middle because

linebackers just literally keep doing what you're doing.

I mean, like, whatever you've been doing a linebacker, the last three games, keep that going.

Don't, I mean, you want to play a little bit more Madden Framo.

I think the last five games would be a great time to get Madden Framo some work.

So you can take some of the, kind of like what you were saying about the receivers,

maybe take some of the workload off of Drake and Kingston. I don't think you're overplaying

Drake and Kingston. I think they've done a good job with the workload, but again, you're trying to play 16 games this year. Be a great chance. Get bad for him maybe in the game a little bit earlier. Let him spell Drake. Let him spell Jaden or Kingston at will. Whatever, get him some work so you can just get some of the wear and tear down. the minute you're blowing a team out, I'm getting Drake bone off the field.

Like, seriously. get him some work so you can just get some of the wear and tear down the minute you're blowing a team out i'm getting drake bone off the field like seriously like the minute it's 27 nothing i'm taking

i'm making sure drakes and snaps are limited the rest of the way that's how i'm going to these games

same thing with kingston honestly and and you know but but other than that i'm good at lineback. So I have no linebacker conversation to have. So I'm going to be very heavy up front. And the first guy for me is Jared Dawson. And really, you could put my first two together. You could go Jared Dawson and Jason O'Nean together, Tref. So that's kind of my one and two, actually one and three for me, but they're, they're going to be the first two because, look, you're going to eventually get Gabe Rubio back, but Gabe Rubio is a player that's always kind of, he's always, he's literally missed a game every year of his career that I believe because of injuries. But even if Gabriel comes back and he's healthy all year, I mean, Treb, this is a kid that's played

great football, but he can't be by himself, and you're going to be playing better offensive lines

and better teams. And I think you need more of that. You need Gabriel Ruba to get back to playing

the way he was, but you need Jason Onye to flash like he did on Saturday night. You can't have

him play great and then not be heard from him for three games. You need Jason O'Neay to flash like he did on Saturday night. You can't have him play great and then not be heard from for three games. You need Jason O'Ne, what we saw Saturday night, to be the Jason O'Neillet we see for the rest of the year. And Jared Dawson has just flown under the radar with Notre Dame fans. He didn't play very well against A&M, sprained his ankle the Thursday before the game from what I was told. And I was told

this the night had happened. Like, they didn't even know he was going to play. But since

then, he's been pretty good, Trev, like pretty good player. And he was one of my,

who needs to step up with Rubio out and he played great against USC in my opinion.
