This episode of Irish Illustrated Instant Analysis is brought to you by the RV Manufactured Housing Hall of Fame and Northern Indiana event center in Elkhart, Indiana.

I am Tim O'Malley, joined by Tim Priestier of Irish Illustrated, John Bryce, a football scoop, and we are not yet on site at Miami Gardens, Hard Rock Stadium, because we believe that rain would have interrupted our pregame instant analysis. And this way it will go up a little easier, logistically, much safer. And guys, I don't want to alarm too many people. It looks like rain in the pregame forecast, maybe not in the during the contest forecast. But we only deal with what we can deal with. And our camera didn't like rain. Marcus Freeman called it on Friday.

He said it would clear up by the game.

So we'll see if he's correct.

But like I said, I think his meteorologists are better than our meteorologists.

It's a steamy one regardless, guys. So if the if the rain rolls in, as we sit here and record this Sunday afternoon,

the feels like here in the Miami area is 105 degrees at around 2 o'clock. So add some rain to that. There will be steam. And we'll find out in a hurry how the conditioning is for both squads. Before we get to football, J.B., I don't know if I talk to you about this, but pre-strand, I have already exchanged texts already exchanged text short sleeves may be worn since we're not doing a pregame incident analysis as well we're not

gonna the sport coat i had my crockett sport coat back there too for just for this trip and i'm

that's staying in the closet here for today i didn't even i didn't even bring short sleeves

so there go law and order every time always styling so So I let off who and what to watch today,

because we've talked about this game quite a bit now for the last few months, but I really think that

special teams are going to play a key role, and I mean that in a positive way for Notre Dame.

Assuming Noah Burnett holds up his end of the bargain, and he's, if you're two for three on

field goals from 45 range, that's holding up your end of the bargain in a big game.

I really think Marty Biagi, the way he ended the season and being empowered by Marcus Freeman,

I think special teams is advantage here, Tim.

Oh, I absolutely do.

I mean, that's something I've been harping on since I started looking at this

matchup.

And during the first rate series this summer, you know, again, I realize it's last year.

But, you know, things carry over.

And I think Notre Dame team has one of the best carryovers in the country, i.e. Ohio State
