| 0:00.0 | Super chat by B-FD-O-8. |
| 0:21.7 | Prayers for Mom and Papa Driscoll. |
| 0:23.3 | Brian, I would bet any amount of money you make them very proud every day. |
| 0:28.4 | What can Ash do to cut down on opponents rushing yards against Notre Dame? |
| 0:33.4 | Yeah. |
| 0:36.6 | Well, I think for one is that there need to play a scheme that puts a little bit more emphasis on stopping the run. |
| 0:48.3 | I think another thing is tackle better. They haven't always been a great tackling team. Last year they were better, but they weren't a |
| 0:57.9 | great tackling team. I think, and there's teams that have been able to take advantage of the fact that |
| 1:01.5 | their scheme is first and foremost designed towards attacking the quarterback and shutting down the |
| 1:06.6 | past game. So, Trevor, you and I will talk about this during games and before games. like this is what this team is going to try to do to take advantage of the fact that you're a very heavy blitzing team. And Georgia had some things like that, but Penn State definitely took advantage of that in the first half. And there were other teams that did that.

| 1:51.1 | you know, house somebody and made a play there. |
| 1:52.9 | It didn't matter. |
| 1:54.3 | Or they weren't good enough to block you out of the hole the way that Ohio State was. |
| 1:59.0 | Yeah. |
| 1:59.2 | So it hurt you as much. |
| 2:00.6 | I think just being a more disciplined defense in the box is going to help. |
| 2:05.1 | Tackling better is going to help. |
| 2:06.1 | But you're going to need your interior to be more forceful at the point of attack. |
| 2:11.6 | And you're going to need your edges to be more consistently effective. |
| 2:14.8 | Like that was one of the biggest issues against Penn State is their ends did a very average |
