All right, gentlemen, let's jump into the offense and, you know, what they were able to do today.

Obviously, you know, IU came into this game with a good defense, with a good to very good defense.

I mean, yes, we've talked about their schedule.

We've done all of those things.

The bottom line for me, offensively, I kind of go first here. The bottom line for me, offensively, I'll kind of go first here.

The bottom line for me offensively is, yes, I use a good football team.

Yes, they do a good job of stopping the run.

Yes, they do a good job of controlling the line of scrimmage at times and doing those

different things and all the games that they played, you know, or most of the games

that they played this year. They do all of those things. They tackle well. They're a fundamental team.

All of those things. The biggest difference for me, and we talked about this going in and people

said we were nuts, was that they haven't seen a team like Notre Dame and what they can do,

not only in the trenches, but also from a speed standpoint.

They just haven't seen that yet.

And Notre Dame exposed that.

And, you know, there were multiple times, Brian, when you and I were standing on the balcony

out there and we're watching the game.

And, you know, we're on the ninth floor so we can see, you know,

angles that defensive guys are taking and all these different things. And it was like,

okay, you know, this kid thought he had an angle on Jeremiah Love or this kid thought he had an angle on Jedari and Price. And they just blew right by him. Like, it's, it's just different.

And it hasn't been like that at Notre Dame in the recent history as I'm covering this football team.

And that's how it is now.
