So Trevor Trowbridge, man, this run game, Notre Dame run game against the North,

0:24.1

Notre Dame against the Georgia rush defense. This is going to be, I believe, arguably the biggest

0:33.3

factor in this game, right? Is, yes, the past game's going to be important, and we'll talk about that next.

0:41.1

But I don't believe you can win a game like this if the best part of your team

0:45.1

doesn't at least play well to some degree.
