I.B.Nation. Welcome back to another episode of the Irish Breakdown podcast brought to you by our friends over at Fandual. Happy Tuesday.

And today we are going to start previewing Notre Dame's final regular season opponent of 2025, which Brian, it is crazy to say that we're already at the final regular season game.

But time flies when you're having fun.

We are also going to talk about keys to victory today as well with the alternate schedule that we have going with this week with Thanksgiving being on Thursday.

But, Brian, before we get into all of that, there were some news released earlier today about some awards finalist list.

And a lot of talk has been going to the Heisman, Heisman, Heisman, Heisman.

And I understand why Jeremiah Love is likely going to be taking a trip out to New York.

He has one last opportunity on Saturday night to take advantage of putting on another Heisman

quality performance against the Stanford Rush defense.

But there are some other awards that some Notre Dame players are up for.

And before we got started today, a little bit before the show, Leonard Moore was

announced as a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award.

And Jeremiah Love was also announced as a finals for the Dope Walker and the Maxwell Award.

So definitely some good stuff happening for some Notre Dame players.

And then what's the Jet Award that Judarian Price is also named a finals for,
