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

Happy Tuesday. We are now in day two of Notre Dame's biweek. They have Saturday off. And then at some point next week, we're going to figure out what time and what station they kick off on against Boston College. But in the meantime, we are focusing on a lot of different by-week content.

Today, we're talking about a bunch of different topics.

We're covering, you know, we're going to start out today's show talking about

Billy Strauss injury, where the offensive line goes from here, you know, what can we expect

over these next couple games while he's out.

Then we're going to dive into first half grades.

We're breaking it down into offense and defense, and then we're going to wrap up
