Welcome back to another edition of Irish Illustrated Insider.

I'm Tim Priester with Tim O'Malley of Irish Illustrated.

We're joined by John Bryce of the Football Scoop in Irish Illustrated coming off a bye weekend.

But boy, it wasn't a buy weekend for Alabama, Tennessee, USC, Michigan, and Missouri.

Because they all lost, and that's good for Nordame.

Up to number 11, is is that right number 11 in the

in the most recent AP poll uh you know that's great at the end of the day Nordame just needs to

keep winning games and obviously in the number 11 spot they're in a good position to just keep

moving up if they keep winning Stanford this. We'll get into Stanford a little bit

in a little bit here, but we talked to Marcus Freeman and went over a lot of self-scouting stuff

and a whole bunch of injuries. Tim, you want to jump in and start talking about those? We'll cover

them all. Yeah, I wanted to say Notre Dame fans from the 1980s were one Miami 22nd rally short of having the perfect weekend of USC, Michigan, number one Alabama and Miami losing an Army Navy winning and local people.

IU going undefeated as well.

So that would have been a dream had Miami blown that, not come back on that one.

But the injury situation, I never expected Rubio back right now.

So I don't think it's, it's not surprising.

If he was back, I thought he'd be a one-play guy.

It's unfortunate.

He still isn't questionable because, as we said on instant analysis,

questionable has meant out.

Bazon is good news, though,

because I thought that was another three-week situation when you saw him get rolled up and, you know, previous ankle injury as well.
