Getting into part three of the Irish Breakdown podcast brought brought to you by our friends over at Bandw.

We got Byselfold today and getting us kicked off in part three.

This Joe Alt, superfan, ain't no six like 76.

Also a new member, which is a great, great name, by the way.

I love it.

Love it.

Bysol hold, Notre Dame beats Indiana in the playoffs,

solidifying Marcus Freeman is the only undefeated coach against Cignetti.

Yeah, I'll buy that. Sure, that sounds good to me. I'll buy that. I, because if we're talking Cignetti at Indiana, he's only lost two games, right?

I mean, he lost to Ryan Day in 2024 and then Notre Dame in 2024, right?

He hasn't lost anybody else, right?

They only lost one regular season game in 2024, correct?

That's Ohio State. Yeah. And then they got their payback against Ohio State this year. So in this year, they were 16 and 0. So, yeah, I'll buy that. Sounds good to me. Sounds very good to me. Although, if Notre Dame wins at all, there's no concern about, oh, is Notre Dame or Indiana better? It's like, well, we beat you in 2024 and we also have a title. There's nothing you've done that we haven't done. You know, so, yeah, but I would, I would enjoy that. Yeah. I would enjoy that very much. For sure. I'll buy it as well. Why not? Then by so whole, Joe Alt is the best left tackle Notre Dame has seen in the last 10 years,

maybe even of all time, dare I say, will be a future Hall of Famer.

Well, I'm not shocked that Joe Walt superfan thinks they answer to that.

But if we're talking last 10 years, Trev, that's from 2016 to now.

I don't disagree with that.

Agreed. I think Joe Walt was better than Mike McGlenshy and Liam McItenberg,

who are the two best left tackles that I would be in the conversation with him, in my opinion.

Yeah, I buy the first part. I'm at the minimum. I'm holding the second part. Does he have the potential to be a future Hall of Famer? Yeah, dude's got to stay healthy and stay on the field first, like for him to be considered a Hall of Famer. And then has to start stacking really good season after really good season. The potential's there, but that's a hold of the best. Zach Martin and Quentin Nelson were dudes like out of the gate.

They were pro bowlers as rookies.

Yeah.
