Welcome, Nordame fans to another edition of Irish Illustrated Insider.

It is Thursday, April 10th.

We are two days away from the annual Blue Gold game in Notre Dame Stadium.

I'm Tim Priester with Drew Mentock of Iris Illustrated, John Bryce Football Scoop, and Irish Illustrated.

And we're previewing the blue gold game.

If we had turned record on a minute ago, you would have heard us talking about, boy, this is

probably not going to be real pretty with the offensive lines in bad shape.

It's key personnel missing everywhere.

And this is why Marcus Freeman has said that it will be,

there's no draft.

There are enough players to do that.

And this is a product of the long football season and injuries and being cautious,

et cetera, et cetera.

So with that bright news, gentlemen,

what are you looking for this

weekend for the annual blue goal game? Go ahead, Drew. Yeah, I mean, it's definitely going to be

tough to glean much from this weekend, just given kind of the chaos and everything you just

described. So I think, I mean, it's always good to get another look at some of the younger players,

especially the early enrollees guy.

And, you know, freshman last year we didn't get to see much opportunities for.

So I think it's always good to see people are getting excited about Tay Johnson and guys like that

and people we've described in practice.
