All right, Brian.

The next part of today's show on the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to you by Fanduel.

It's the fun part.

We get to go over some of our predictions.

We get to go over some game wreckers on offense and defense.

This is the part of the show that I look forward to.

We get to see how close we get.

We get to talk about how we view this game is going out, how we view it going down. We give what our final score prediction is. And then we're going to talk about game records, players that we believe are going to be able to turn this game loose. So I'll go ahead and get us kicked off here, Brian. and when I look at this game, it has just all the

makings for a shootout, doesn't it? I mean truly. And as much as that pains me to say,

at the end of the day, I just want Notre Dame to win. And that's what I have in my score prediction.

I have Notre Dame winning this one, 45 to 38. Like I said, all the makings for a shootout.

And I can sit here and talk about, hey, if Notre Dame's defense does this and this and this,

well, this will make it the fourth game in a row that I've talked about all that stuff.

And until they go out and do it, it's just going to be a show me until you do.

I want them to come out and be aggressive, switch up their coverages, get more hands-on, man.

But if you're not going to do it against Purdue and you're not going to do it against Texas A&M,

until I see it, I just got to believe that it's not going to happen as frustrating as that is against Arkansas.

So I have Notre Dame winning this one, 45 to 38.

I think this does come down to who has more talent on either side of their roster.

And I do believe that to be Notre Dame.

And so when I go and I look at this matchup, man, I mean, look, like I said, all the

makings for an old-fashioned shootout, the highlight for both of these teams have been their offense, while the defense for both teams have kind of been the areas where they've struggled the most.
