All right, Brian, and part two of today show here in the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to you by our friends over at Fandoul.

We're talking about the Notre Dame offense.

And like we talk about it every season and really just any championship team, remove Notre Dame away from that conversation.

Every team that has won the national championship has some aspect of star power.

Indiana won the national championship this past season with the Heisman

trophy winner.

Last season, Ohio State had Caleb Downs, Jeremiah Smith, Trayvian Henderson, Quinshon

Judkins.

The year before that, Michigan wins it with Blake Corum and a host of talented defensive

players that are all at the next level.

Exactly.

Roman Wilson, Colston

Loveland. Right. Right. And so every team needs an aspect of star power. Well, for Notre Dame

offensively, their bona fide stars are gone. Jeremiah loves off to the NFL draft. He's going to be

a bona fide first round pick. Jadarion Price is getting first round buzz. Malachi Fields is getting first round buzz. So there's a lot of different. Two of your offensive captains are off to the NFL as well. So Notre Dame is in a spot where we believe that there's going to be stars on offense. Now it's just a question of who rises to the occasion because they're going to need it this year. Do I think they're going to need it? Do you think they're going to need it to beat Rice or Purdue or Syracuse? No, but you're going to need it on November 7th. You're going to need it when you travel out to Provo, and then you're definitely going to need it in the postseason. So that's why we're talking about this today, folks. Oh, yeah. I mean, star Power matters, Trev. And Star Power doesn't have to mean with the context of what we're referring to. It's not you're going to be a top 10 NFL draft pick, although it helps. I mean, because if you're a top 10 draft pick, obviously, you're going to be great. And I think you could even look at the teams that have been runners up. They've had that star power to get there.

You look at last year in Miami, you know, I think they had star power up front in the trenches,

Francis Malanoa. I think they had a star wide receiver in Malachi Tony. I think Indiana had a little

bit more, which is why in a battle of two really good defenses, Indiana's guys made a few more

plays than Miami's

guys. You know, I think Indiana had a star power quarterback. Miami didn't. So who stepped

up in the fourth quarter made those big plays. It was the Indiana quarterback.

2004. No name had star power. That's what helped them get there. Jeremiah Love, Riley Leonard,
