We continue, Budweiser's weekday sports beat with Irish Breakdown.

0:21.8

Suddenly Vince is sitting in a nice little spring knoll.

0:27.9

Didn't realize we were coming back quite that quick.

0:29.9

I was just playing around with the camera.

0:31.5

You know, that's what happens during the break.

0:32.8

I get bored.

0:33.8

That's right.

0:34.5

I looked up and I was like, what just happened on Vince's screen there? He's playing around with the back.

0:41.1

Yeah, you know. Oh, we were just talking about, you know, that catch, the catch made by Cadeon Finley. And of course, it was thrown by Noah Grubbs. And Josh doesn't want people sleeping on Grubbs.

0:54.4

He says it wouldn't surprise him if he ends up being second string. I think it's hard to sleep on him right now because we just haven't had a chance to get, you know, really eyeballs anything competitive. That's what curious to see what kind of, you know, what does snaps look like when we get to see the Jersey scrimmage this Saturday. And, you know, we'll get to see him at least to some extent in the blue gold game a week from Saturday. And I didn't even mention that, of course. We'll have that broadcast here on sports radio, WSBT, 96.1 FM 960 a.m. Here in town. All right. I want to make sure that we get to these Marty Biagi. Because I feel like there's some juice squeeze. I got questions. I need answers. Sean Steyer's. All right. Does that mean you've seen the rundown and you've kind of, you kind of know what's coming here? I can sit on the way home. It's the Dario Day because, you know, we get to talk about kickers and bunters.

2:17.9

It's funny. As I was reading the rundown, you had that written in there and I'm like, where's going with this? Like, why, why is it Vince DeDario Day? Like, it's very confused. And then I realized where we're talking about. And I'm excited, man. I'm excited. Yes. So a lot of, a lot of kicker talk and I got to, there weren't a whole lot of people huddled around Marty Biagi when we got to talk to him last week. And so I got to, you know, throw a lot of the kicker stuff. Adding kickers and punters and everything else. I think, you know, let me actually look. One, two.

2:23.6

I think all, but I think it was me and Drew Mentock were the two that were asking him the majority of these questions that you're going to hear the answers to today.

2:27.8

So, of course, the last couple years, the two transfer kickers, Noah Burnett and Mitch Jeter,

2:35.4

had the leg injuries after arriving at Notre Dame. So I asked Biagi if like when you look at

2:41.2

that, has that, have they changed anything in terms of workloads, practice routines,

2:47.0

or any of that kind of stuff for their kickers as a result and here's marty biagi's response to that those

2:53.8

were more specific injuries you know um Mitch literally was a freak accident on a kickoff so it wasn't

2:59.6

like a load management issue and then noah when he came in he kind of had a nagging injury that

3:05.8

just uh you know we kept trying to hope would

3:08.3

heal. So we were trying to give him more rest. But we kind of build out already our plan.

3:14.5

And so we know the volume and then we tweak it or adjust. But Spencer, I mean, he's, he said,

3:19.8

you know, he feels really confident in terms of his rep count right now.
