Welcome back to Irish Illustrated Insider. It is Monday, November 10th. Snowy South Bend, Indiana, where school delays and practice cancellations have kind of screwed things up for me.

Can't even get my sprinklers blown out, guys. But regardless, I'm here today. Tim O'Malley, joined by Tim Priester of Irish Illustrated.

Drew Medtok of Irish Illustrated. We'll be joining us later. Tim and

Drew, you guys just finished instant analysis, and we finished 30 minutes with Marcus Freeman.

We have conversation on Navy injuries, how this is absolutely not a trap game, and we will preview

some Pittsburgh, but Tim Priester, let's start quickly with your takeaway from Marcus Freeman's

press conference.

And then we'll move on to injuries.

Well, I mean, he didn't talk about Navy a whole lot other than he was really happy with

three phases of Nardame football and he should be.

It was a very fine performance.

But what struck me, Tim, and Drew and I talked about this on incident analysis, was as he was talking about Pittsburgh, you know, they're on a winning street.

They got a young quarterback that's playing really well.

They've got a defense that's playing really well.

Specialty.

I think what made me think, wow, see, it sounds like he's talking about his own team was winning, and there are differences.

But when he mentioned special teams, it's been an uptick for pittsburgh i need to take a closer look at that that's what

made me think it's a lot of similarities between these two teams one similarity that is is not

applicable is the fact that pittsburgh just had their first 100-yard rusher,

Jacarian Turner, in game nine this past week against Stanford.

Obviously, Nordheim has a much more quality running game with two backs and Jadarion Price teaming up with Jeremiah Love.

But it sounded a lot like Pittsburgh, and Mason Hintschild, he's a player, man. Yeah. And he's got about 1,475 yards out of his top three wide receivers. So that sounds a little bit unlike Pittsburgh, too. I certainly would, you normally think of a good Pittsburgh offense. You think of LaShawn McCoy. And you think of guys in that range, who was the guy that scored a touchdown?
