Welcome back to the Shamrock. I'm Pete Samson, joined as always by Matt Portuna. We are barely a week away from the season. College football is nigh.

And I'm not even counting like Nebraska, Illinois or UCLA, somebody. Hawaii, come on.

Okay. Connecticut, I think, plays as well, maybe against Fresno, but none of that matters.

Tell that to Scott Frost, who might not have a job three days from now, that this doesn't matter.

Go ahead.

Notre Dame, a little more than a week away, camp is over.

We got a little bit of access to both Brian Polly and Brian Kelly this week, some slight practice access, which was

basically a way to see if Tommy Reese was there following his emergency appendectomy on Monday.

He was watching film on his laptop Tuesday and back of practice, but up in the balcony level

of the IAC with the media actually on Wednesday.

But before we get into some, I think some national stuff as it ties to Notre Dame, this is sort of like hot assistant coach season list time for, you know, people like Bruce

Feldman, Pete Bammel, and then at the end of the show, Matt and I are going to go game

by game and give you our season predictions that I'm sure will be just dead on.

But news today, you know, unfortunately for Notre Dame was bad.

I came out with players that talking to coaches and people around the program, I believe,

that made the biggest moves from, you know,

August 1st to August 25th.

The guys that maybe not necessarily were going to start, but the guys who showed the most

to the staff this month.

And Maris Leofow was was pretty high up my list. I felt like he was in line

for a breakout season. And then today we learned I was able to sort of source this out in the

late morning that he had suffered, I think potentially multiple serious lower body injuries.
