Welcome in to the spring concluding edition of Overtime Live here at Irish Illustrated,

joined by the illustrious Tim Priester and Drew Mintock.

I'm John Bryce, the football scoop and Irish Illustrated.com.

Guys, we're putting a bow on Notre Dame spring game.

I think we've all already said a spring game a bit more compelling, a bit more exciting

that any of us expected.

The Blue Team, that's the offense, winning the contest, I think 76 to 31.

Tim will kick it straight to you, just your general overview of today's Blue and Gold game,

which, by the way, had an attendance of 40,000, 621, the most since a guy named Jimmy Clausen was at the quarterback position for the

fighting Irish. Well, I went into this game, and we talked about on the pregame incident analysis,

about, you know, just it's probably going to be really difficult for the offense. And it,

it wasn't. I mean, they were, it was way more than, than I expected. And largely because

Amil Wagner was at right tackle, Billy Shroth was at left guard. Lindsay Knapp was at left

tackle. Charles Jaggisov, of course, was there as well.

And then Sullivan, Absur at Center, which we saw him dabble there, but to, you know, to see an older

guy placed amongst those other four, it's like, okay, well, this is a lot different.

And then the offense went out and proved that. I thought the quarterbacks were all very

productive in their own way.

We'll get into that a little bit more. But I was blown away by the entertainment of a

blue gold game. And I'm quite sure in 43 years, I'd never said the words that I just said now

about blown away about the entertainment value of a blue gold game.

Well, that's because Kenny Minchie imitated you and did a backflip.
