Hello, everybody, and welcome back to another edition of Irish Illustrated Insider. It's Thursday, August 8th. I'm Tim Priest, with Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated, joined by John Bryce of Football Scoop. We'll get Pete Sampson back next week. What should we talk about, guys, Nordang football, Charles Jackus's injury.

It was a real blow in Arlington's offensive line. They loved what they saw of him. It took

a minute for him to be named the starter for the Sun Bowl against Oregon State last year when

they had the opt-outs. And so it's a significant loss. I want to talk about just how significant and what the options are.

Well, the option is Tosh Baker.

But let's get into that, guys.

We've kicked this around.

We're going to kick it around a whole lot more.

I really kicked it around in Thursday thoughts.

Please chime in on where you think Nordame is with the loss of Jagasa.

I should say Jogusa, actually, and Tosh Baker as the replacement.

The good news is Baker worked at left tackle last year behind Joe All.

The bad news is he was beaten out as well by Emil Wagner on the right side.

And this is his fifth year time for him to have taken that spot.

He's clearly the number three tackle.

I don't know if that's good or bad news because the number four tackles are all young. And if you're a Notre Dame

fan that says you need to prove it to me that the next transfer quarterback will be good or I got

to see it from the wide receivers, I think that you should really take people's word for it. Like there's some people that see these guys play.

If you're a Notre Dame fan that says,

I need to see Tash Baker perform well on game day before I believe in him.

I absolutely agree with you.

That doesn't mean he can't.
