This is IRISO Illustrated Insider.

I'm Tim Priest with Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated with Pete Sampson of the Athletic.

We are reviewing Nordames's 45 to 31 victory over Boston College this past weekend.

It got a little dicey at times for Notre Dame's defense, but they had plenty

of offense. Ian Book playing his best football by far, back-to-back games. Our name's running game

compliments the passing game. And Brian Kelly talked about Notre Dame's defense being a little tired,

a little bit banged up. I think Kyle Hamilton's a little banged up when you watch him,

you know, his body language on the field.

But heard him did what they had to do over 500 yards total offense.

8-0 move into the by week with North Carolina coming up.

I mean, certainly the book rise in level of play is the most significant thing that's happening here.

It's, you know, to the point that what they they rush for 278 yards, and you're like,

yeah, that's fine, whatever.

I mean, that's how well book is playing is that, uh, you look at their name's offense,

and it's not, they could do everything now.

Yeah.

It's like they, they have an outside threat.

You know, the whole red zone receiver lack of production thing just sort of went by the boards last weekend.

So if they can have the, at least the appearance of Scoronic and McKinley

doing something in the red zone,

that really changes everything for you.

They are just so much better offensively than the non-elite, elite, elite defenses.
