Welcome back to Irish Illustrated Insider, brought to you by Irish Illustrated.com.

That's a website. You should come check us out for all your Notre Dame news.

We're here previewing UMass, which is the game before the Clemson game.

But I think first we before we get into that

news, Drew Tranquil, we got Brandon Wimbush. And I think there's been an interesting week. We talked to

Jerry Tillery for the first time since he enrolled yesterday. And then, you know, also sort of

the development of the offense. Tim, you've written about sort of the Chris Brown, Robinson dynamic, which I think is interesting. So I guess, I don't know, where do you guys want to start this week as far as news goes? Yeah, I think that makes Chris Brown, Corey Robinson development. It's, Deshaun Kaiser's very comfortable with Chris Brown. Just for the fact that he was targeted 11 times, and you have a guy named Will Fuller on your team

that's usually going to be the main target.

It's not that we can blame Deshaun Kaiser that he's kind of zeroed in on two guys here, but I do think the offense will work better in the long run if they can get back to that balance you saw in the Texas game, and I'm sure that that would be the case with Kaiser going forward. But yeah, it was clear he trusts Chris Brown and he has developed a report with him from the beginning.

So that's, you know, your young quarterback, you have the best receiver in the country in Will Fuller and you have a guy you really trust. Those are going to be the focal points going forward. It would be nice maybe in this game if things go according to plan where you really do kind of work everybody back into the mix and maybe it's

possibly called that way at some point to see detron Kaiser kind of spread it around a little bit more

to all the weapons. I think it's a good sign that he targeted Chris Brown as much as he did because

you know what you have in Will Fuller. Just throw it in the vicinity and he's probably going to make

a play on it. So I think that chemistry is good.

It would be nice to get Corey Robinson more involved,

but Cory Robinson has to get himself involved, you know,

and earn the playing time, which means snaps ahead of Chris Brown.

And Chris Brown just had a really solid game and is a guy that, as you said to him,

that Kaiser trusts.

So, you know, I think that Kaiser trusts. So, yeah,

I think that's a positive. A lot of opportunities in this game, not saying the Nordium's going to blow out. Who are they playing? UMass. Not saying the Nordium's going to blow out UMass,

because they do have some weapons offensively, but they don't have much defensively. So it is a great opportunity to spread the wealth in the passing game. Yeah, and I think defensively for Notre Dame, I asked Brian Kelly on Tuesday, okay, what happens with the dime package? Because Drew Trankel's out for the year with the ACL, and he's like, yeah, I don't want to tell you. But if it's not Matthias Farley, I would be stunned. Although the more I thought about
