| 0:00.0 | Triv, let's dive into the breakdown of the Notre Dame defense and the keys to victory for the Notre Dame defense in this game. |
| 0:25.1 | And look, it really starts with, it goes beyond shutting down the run game. |
| 0:32.1 | When Notre Dame played USC two years ago, my number one key was you got to stop the run. |
| 0:36.8 | And Al Golden went into that game |
| 0:38.6 | and had a kind of a stop the pass game type of mentality. And USC did not have a great success |
