Welcome, everyone to another edition of the Irish Breakdown podcast presented by our friends at Fandul. Thanks for joining us. I'm Vince. That's Brian. And it is a pawn for the review. And you know how I know that? Because it's Sunday night. And that's what we do on Sunday nights. We dive into the film. We check things out. And we decide whether what we saw live on Saturday was actually what we saw. And in this case, it pretty

much was because Notre Dame dominated Pitt. And it was a great performance by Notre Dame as a

whole. And we, in this part of the show, is we are going to take a look at the keys to victory.

We are going to revisit those keys.

And we have three categories of keys that we're going to check out tonight.

And it was, you all like big games because there's absolutely things.

And so we've got team keys, we've got offensive keys, and we've got defensive keys.

So we're just, we're going to jump right in.

You want to do special teams keys first?

Okay, so let's jump into the team goals.

I'm going to pull up my list here.

Here we go. The first team goal, the team key to victory is stars and leaders need to show up. And this is a big game. We've talked about it, college game day, all the things, right?

You need your stars to be stars, as we say a lot around here. What say you?

Dude's got to be dudes. This is a plus. I mean, this is, and it was in every phase.

Karamaya Love, Malachi Fields, Eli Rairdon.

CJ didn't play like a star, but he still made some big time throws in this game.

And I love the fact that the kid can kind of rally back from an interception and go out and make plays.

I mean, he's just been so good at this fence.

Come out in the third quarter, he throws the pick six,

and what does he do on the next drive?
