All right, gentlemen, let's jump into the Penn State offense.

0:23.6

And I know this is usually stuff that you guys do during the day, so I feel like I'm in the wayback machine, Brian, when you and I would do it, and I'd be like tucked away in a classroom, like during the day on my prep.

0:35.6

And we'd be breaking down the offense and the defense of

0:38.2

the upcoming opponent for Notre Dame so it's kind of fun to to jump in here but grown a little

0:43.0

bit I know just a little bit I don't have like the cinder block background anymore or whatever
