Welcome back to Irish Illustrated insider. It is Monday, November 3rd. I'm Tim O'Malley, joined by

Mary and I love Tim Priester of Irish Illustrated and John Bryce of Letterman Row.com and football scoop.

Ray J.B. Got that one right? Still on LinkedIn. Hey, it is Navy Week post Boston College. So Priestier,

if this were, say, 2008, Irish fans will be looking at a two-game losing streak. They are not. Instead, a waiting placement in an initial college football playoff rankings. We will get to that in segment two, but we spent some time, guys, with Marcus Freeman. A lot of previewing in Navy. I don't think there was a single question, Tim, other than about the kickers of the Boston College game. But I think there's a lot of respect for Navy that goes around. And kickers in Navy kind of dominate. Let's start with kickers because I know we have plenty of thoughts on that. Do we have to? No, we can talk about that.

The Nordenames kickers last Saturday, and it told you everything that you needed to know.

They didn't think they were going to make their kicks.

Diomedi didn't think he was going to make their kicks. Dea Medi didn't think he was

going to make his kick. Schmidt had no, no confidence whatsoever. He was going to make his from

35. And at Burnett, you know, you just don't know whether it's still an injury situation or what. But,

you know, if they, if Marcus Freeman said, if they can't go out there and have confidence to kick extra points,

then they might have to do something different.

Now, he expects to be confident when the time comes because they're damn extra points for crying out loud.

But it was really, really frustrating against Boston College.

And it's just, again, like we said on instant analysis after Marcus Freeman's press

conference, it's just not at all what you expect out of Notre Dame in general, but especially
