Brian, getting into the final part of the show here today on the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to by our friends over at Fandul.

We're going to start talking about expectations for this unit.

And like we just got done saying, there are some unknowns.

We have faith and we believe that this could happen.

We believe that Cam Williams has the ability to break out.

Will he?

We don't know. Same thing with the Neas Williams, the offensive line. We have an idea of what 2026 C.J. Carr is going to look like. But until those things start to unfold on the season, we don't fully know what that's going to look like. Stat lines, in game performance, in the clutch, in the postseason. There's a lot of different questions.

With that being said, though, that doesn't mean the expectations change.

The thing that stands out about championship caliber programs is no matter who's lining up,

no matter who changes their number, who comes in in the portal, or who leaves or who

likes to stay, the standard has to remain the same.

And that's going to be the task for Notre Dame's offense this year after they have to

replace impactful guys like Jay Love and Judari and Price and Malachi Fields and two captains

on the offensive line. So when we have this conversation, Brian, around expectations for the

2026 offense, where do you start? Where do you begin to look at where they

have to be? I mean, look, it's what they need to be and then how do they get there. And then

what do they need to be? Once again, you need to be one of the best scoring offenses of college

football. And best scoring offenses of college football doesn't even necessarily mean that

you rank in the top five. It's part of it. It's a byproduct of it. But Ohio State didn't

rank in the top five at the end of the year in 2024. They would have had if you took what they

did in the postseason, they were in the lead offense in the postseason, but that's more of what I'm referring to.

Can you go out there and score against the best teams on your schedule
