I. B. Nation, welcome back to another edition of the Irish Breakdown podcast. It's Thursday. That means we are two days away from game day.

Notre Dame comes back home, a place that has not been friendly for Notre Dame so far.

Mac teams home stadium, not a great thing. Notre Dame likes being on the road and playing

power five opponents or power four opponents. That's where the Notre Dame fighting eyes have thrived. But they're going to look to change that on Saturday when the Miami,

Ohio Red Hawks come to town. That's Ryan Roberts. Y'all know that dude. And we are going to break

down our keys to victory for this weekend's game for Notre Dame. And then, of course,

we will then dive into our predictions.

We'll make our predictions for the show.

And then at 2 o'clock, around 2 o'clock, I'll be joined by Bill Bender from

Sporting News.

And he and I are going to, Ryan, it's going to be a really good weekend of college football,

man.

We're going to preview and make predictions for Tennessee, Oklahoma, Michigan, USC, Utah, Oklahoma State, which is going to be a very good game, I think.

And then there's a great Friday night game on it, or I should say a great game, a very intriguing game Friday night between Illinois and Nebraska.

Second week in a row, there's been a really intriguing Friday night game.

Last week we previewed and made predictions for Arizona, Kansas State.

Wildcats got that one done.

And then this week, it's going to be Illinois, Nebraska.

So it's two teams that are three and O right now into Big Ten and looking to both claim

their first conference win.

So we'll dive into that in hour two.

But hour one is the big show, right?
