I.B.Nation. Welcome back to another episode of the Irish Breakdown podcast. It is Thursday, January 30th. And it's weird to say that February is already two days away.

I know, which is weird. I was writing down the date for the notes for the show today. And I was like 30th. Good Lord.

Time's flying by, but that just means we're one day closer to Notre Dame kicking off in Miami on August 31st.

But there's still a lot of things that we've got to cover in the offseason today.

And Brian, what we're going to talk about is we're going to start breaking down, giving our first

glance look at the Notre Dame offense in 2025.

And what we're going to start is we're going to start talking through what we learned about

this offense and what we learned about Mike Denbrock in 2024, why they were the way that

they were, why it looked like, the way that it looked like.

Then we're going to talk through some reasons why we are optimistic about 2025.

They are losing a big producer in the offense, right?

Like Riley Leonard is off and he's performing right now in the senior bowl.

He's doing some good stuff of practice, but he's gone, some other shoes to fill across the offense.

We're going to talk about some of the bigger questions that we have,

just about what this offense could look like,

some stumbling blocks that could potentially get in their way of being the

offense we believe them to be.

And then we're going to wrap it up with potential breakout players.

And we're going to talk about what players on the offensive side of the ball for

Notre Dame have the opportunity to take that next step in 2025.

But before we get to all that, Brian, how are you doing today, man?

I'm good, man.
