Let's get into the final area to discuss.

0:30.8

And that is the Notre Dame season that we think is could be really, really good. What are the stumbling blocks? What are some areas of concern? And there are some. There are definitely some. There's one that I don't

0:42.5

think is that's being discussed in the chat is this notion that Mike Elko knowing Riley Leonard

0:48.9

is advantage Texas A&M. I don't agree with that at all. Having been in a situation like that, myself as a coach

0:58.6

and a player, Mike Elko knows how to stop Riley Leonard in a Kevin John's offense. He has no idea how

1:05.5

Notre Dame is going to use Riley Leonard. And Riley Leonard is not stop Riley Leonard and you win

1:10.7

that game like it was a Duke. It's a different animal. Also Riley Leonard does not stop Riley Leonard and you win that game like it

1:11.7

was a Duke. It's a different animal. Also, Riley Leonard is going to have a much better idea of what

1:18.3

A&M is going to do on defense than what Mike Elko knows of what Notre Dame is going to do on

for, whether the coach is still at his old school or to new school because

1:45.6

I know your scheme I know what you like to do I know your tendencies I know how you like to defend me

1:53.5

that gives to me an advantage when you're trying to defend me and you don't know the weapons I

1:57.9

have around me you don't know how we're going to use those weapons so I I just think that's a miss, a little bit of a misguided line of concern, in my opinion,

2:06.1

having been there as a coach and as a player at Notre Dame. And we just don't see this. We haven't

2:11.8

seen this be an issue in college football, in my opinion, in these type of situation. So let's get

2:17.0

to the five to me that are concerns.

Number one, health.
