0:00.0	So Trevor, part of looking at the buy week is, okay, what do you do well?
0:19.1	And the one thing this team does well is they
0:21.2	run in football. And they need to make sure that that continues because here's the thing.
0:25.9	As you get better, as you get going, other teams know that that's your strength. And they're
0:30.3	going to play to that. And I thought Louisville did a pretty good job of playing to that. And they did
0:33.8	kind of what you and I talked about. They did some things that try to limit the perimeter run game and they just expected their defensive line to dominate
0:42.6	the Notre Dame offensive line. And that's pretty much what they did. And honestly, I didn't
0:46.5	think Notre Dame did a whole lot schematically to try to put them in any binds. That is something
0:52.0	that absolutely is going to have to change.
0:55.3	Part of a smart coaching staff is saying, look, we're going to lean into what we're good at.
1:00.1	That doesn't mean coming out and saying, okay, we're just going to go 12 person,

1:09.4	How can we play to that, knowing that we're also down three starting offensive linemen?
1:15.8	And so when I look at this Notre Dame offensive football team, Trevor, I think it's a situation
1:20.5	where they're going to have to say, okay, we're an inside zone team, we're going to run a counter,
1:26.0	we're going to do, but we need to make sure that we are better. We are doing a better job of putting teams in binds with how we run a football. them do this. So this isn't just me saying this is what I like to do, was Brian Driscoll. If I was the offensive coordinator at Notre Dame, and this is what we do. This is,
1:47.1	I've seen you do this. It's worked really well. This needs to just be who you are. Not it worked
1:54.0	against Purdue, but this is who you are. And it's two things. It's you've got to push the tempo
1:59.3	and you've got to have way more pre and post-snap movement
2:03.0	when it comes to your run game.
2:05.4	And I thought the Purdue game was brilliant in that regard.
