Trevor, I want to get into this matchup.

0:17.5

This is the Notre Dame defense against the Georgia Tech offense. And this

0:23.3

matchup is really fascinating because this to me is strength on strength. And you look at the

0:31.3

numbers, Notre Dame ranks eighth in the country in scoring defense. They're only giving up

0:36.1

eight, 11.7 points per game. Despite playing two,

0:40.7

actually, they've played three teams that have been ranked at some point in time this season,

0:44.5

so far. And they're giving up only 270 yards per game, which is even better than last year's

0:50.1

mark. That ranks 11th in the country. They're giving up 4.3 yards per play, which ranks fourth in

1:32.6

ranked 26 in the country in yards per play at 6.7 yards per play. Georgia Tech's offense has actually

1:39.6

been pretty good this year in most instances. They had a not so great performance against Louisville.

1:46.4

They've also played a couple stingy defenses, in my opinion, and I thought they left points

1:50.8

on the board against Florida State. So, but that's a rare thing for them because as you see,

1:55.2

Trevor, Notre Dame has the 20th ranked red zone defense. Georgia Tech's red zone offense is seventh,

2:00.4

and their red zone

2:01.4

touchdown offense is 11th. And what do they have on their team that is similar to Notre
