This is Irish Illustrated Insider. It's Tuesday, September 7th, Tim Priester with Tim O'Malley and Pete Sampson, Notre Dame, a 41 to 38 winner at Florida State in overtime.

We have a lot of things to talk about. Let's, yeah, I think mainly let's talk about the two coordinators,

because everybody seems to have an opinion on, on that. And the quarterback play in particular,

let's, let's start on the, I want to start on defensive side of the ball. We have no questions

in the second segment about the alignment, because we're, we're going to address it here.

There are a million questions about it. We'll going to address it here. There are a million

I just, I do agree a little bit with what Kelly said, that it's the first game in a new defensive structure,

and I'm guessing a very different defensive structure than Clark Lee, where he had layers to his

defense, and there was so much keeping it in front of you and not allowing the bust. First game

a new defensive structure, 90 degrees. I think maybe rotated to the detriment a little early, but I get it. If you're

going to rotate, you have to commit to rotating, but you're rotating DJ Brown and Shane

Simon in when you have them in the first quarter at negative nine yards, and it's an 89-yard

touchdown. You know that those guys aren't as good as the people they're replacing. Now, maybe

maybe they would have wilted more in the second half if they didn't

rotate. But I think there's plenty of room for growth. And I'm sure someone has put this on
