I.B.Nation. Welcome back to another episode of the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to you by

Fandul Sportsbook. And today, it is Wednesday. We are halfway through game week. Notre Dame

kicks off this Saturday at 3.30 p.m. inside of Notre Dame Stadium for the first time in

program history against the Boise State Broncos.

Sean, I'm excited for this one.

I'll be back up on campus.

Are you able to make it up to campus this weekend, Sean? Are you?

No, man, I have to take a CPR class this weekend.

So I won't be able to make it and have some other things to do.

So I think I won't be up there until USC. Okay, right on. Yeah. All right. Well, I'll be up there then too. So we'll definitely link up for the USC game. Well, you're busy learning how to save lives with CPR. I will be up on campus this weekend. And for the first time in program history, Notre Dame will be hosting the Boise State Broncos.

One, we're going to be talking Notre Dame Offense versus the Boise State Defense. Part two of today's show. We're going to flip the script. We're going to talk some Notre Dame defense versus the Boise State offense.

In that, we're talking big picture. What's its stake for the offense? What's at stake for the defense? Areas where Notre Dame matches up well, players that have to show out in this game. And it's all for different reasons. But, Sean, this is going to be an exciting matchup to talk about and one that I'm excited to watch unfold on Saturday. But at the end of the day, Notre Dame plays football on Saturday.

I'm in a good mood, Sean.

How are you doing it? about and one that I'm excited to watch unfold on Saturday. But at the end of the day,

Notre Dame plays football on Saturday. I'm in a good mood, Sean. How are you doing today, man?

I'm in a great move. Ready to talk about this game, ready to turn the page, second leg of the four most important games of the season, in my opinion, after losing the first two and trying to build
