Well, good afternoon, everyone.

Welcome to the latest installment of Hey, Horka, here on the Blue and Gold YouTube channel.

My name is Darren Pritchett from our WSP studios in South Bend, Indiana.

We've got Tyler Horka, of course, the Notre Dame Football Beat Reporter at Blue and Gold Illustrated,

One more game to go than a much earned by, right?

Yeah, I mean, it feels like we just had one.

That's the weird thing about this Notre Dame season.

We literally just had a buy week.

You play two more games and then you get another buy week.

So interesting stuff, but kind of just like the last week, the last by week, Darren, you're going into this one if you're Notre Dame with a completely different outlook if you win it as opposed if you lose it.

I mean, Notre Dame could have been five and three at that first by week.

They beat USC rather handedly.

Instead, they're six and two.

They're feeling good about themselves.

What happens coming out of the bi-week?

Throttle Pitt by even more than you throttled USC, which is crazy to get a 51-point victory

in any weekend of college football.

I don't care who you're playing, Pitt, Tennessee State, you know, anybody.

It could be anybody, Notre Dame won by 51 points.

And now here you are playing a Thompson team that's as bad as they've been in the last, what,

10 years or more.
