Brian, let's talk about Q2 of Notre Dame season here in the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to by our friends over at Fanduil. And this is one where, you know, I said before, I think that each quarter kind of has its themes. And I think the theme for this one is going to be what's the level of focus for this program? You know, you have your first true road games. You play at Lambeau Field, but it's like kind of that neutral sight feel. it's the sham rock series you have your first true road games. You play at Lambeau Field, but it's like kind of that neutral

sight feel. It's the Shamrock series. You have your first true road games in this. You have two of

your rivalry games in this, back-to-back road games in this quarter. Very interested to see how this one

goes. Yeah, this is a quarter that Trevor, I don't know that I'm as optimistic about some teams

ascending. This is a quarter where I think the biggest thing for me is going to be,

this is the quarter that we learn about Notre Dame's leadership. Because this is the quarter

where you don't have the Lambeau Field game, you don't have

the home opener to get excited about, you don't have the night game against Sparty to get

excited about.

You have three teams that I just think simply are not very good.

And will Notre Dame kind of sleepwalk through this schedule?

Or will they be locked in and focused about, you know, like playing to the Notre Dame

standard?

Because the reality is this, Trevor, is they could sleepwalk through this part of the

schedule and earn three convincing wins.

And it ends up being a negative because they didn't, they, they, they developed some bad habits

that resulted in them just outtowning people that put you in a tough spot when you then

go into quarter three, which is without a doubt your toughest quarter.

So I think this is where the maturity and the leadership of this football team is going to be

tested because there is no spinning.

This is the weakest quarter on the schedule and it's not even close.

I mean, you look at the Fandul numbers right there.
