Welcome to Irish Illustrated Insider, brought you by Irish Illustrated.com on Pete Samson, joined by the two Tims, priesternel in O'Malley.

Wrapping up Wake Forest, a game that we'll spend a little bit of time on, but obviously the college football

playoff rankings, that narrative sort of carrying the rest of the season for Notre Dame, but

let's just jump back into Wake Forest. And I think the first thing I want to talk about was

going into the game, I think we all, or at least I did, felt like rest CJ Pro size, you're not

going to miss him. After watching the game and sort of going through the replay on Sunday night, I felt like Notre Dame actually did miss C.J. ProSize. I don't know. I mean, you think he would have made that much of a difference over... Do you look at Josh Adams, he had 11 touches in the game... I'm sorry, 19 touches in the game, 11 were for two yards or less.

I think C.J. ProSize would have done a better time. How is that much different than what C.J. ProSys? I mean, one third of his carries normally are that anyway, are they not? Yeah, but that's over 50%. yeah that's true

so I think

pro size would have

spaced it

I mean I still think

it was the smart

and prudent thing

to do to rest him

but I think that

I sort of That's true. I think ProSise would have spaced it. I mean, I still think it was the smart and prudent thing to do to rest in.

Oh, sure.

But I think that I sort of came out of the Pittsburgh game thinking, like, wow, this offensive line is so good. It doesn't matter who you put back there. And I think after watching the Wake Forest game against a better, more sound, non-blitz all the time defense.

It gave me a better appreciation for what C.J.

ProSides brings to the table.

You know, Brian Kelly has talked all the time defense. It gave me a better appreciation for what C.J.

ProSize brings to the table.
