All right, Brian, let's talk about keys to victory.

And like we do every week and upon further review, we revisit these keys.

And here on the Irish Breakdown podcast, presented by Fandul, let's talk about the offense.

That's where we're going to start today.

And on last Thursday, we talked about starting fast, how did they grade out?

Well, I mean, it's, it's, I don't know that it's possible to do any better from, from, from, in this standpoint, in this game. I, I, I really don't know if you can. I mean, I'm going to pull up the play by play here. So first play of the game, you go for 14 yards, second play of the game, you go for 45-yard touchdown.

Series number two, you go third play of the game, for third play series, 58-yard touchdown.

Third series, six-play drive.

Took them forever on this one, six whole plays.

And on third down, you complete a six-yard touchdown pass for a touchdown. Fourth series, 16-5, 14-14 touchdown. It wasn't until the fifth drive that Syracuse

was able to stop in their name. They went three and out. And then the very next drive where

the first-team offense was together, just the sixth drive of the game, They went three and out. And then the very next drive where the first team

offense was together, just the sixth drive of the game, they go three plays and Jeremiah loved

those 68 yards for touchdown. That was the third quarter. So when you score on five of your first six,

when you score touchdowns on five of your first six possessions, including the first four of the

game, you can't start any better than that.

Literally.

And it was what was impressive about it was they were on the sideline for a while.

I mean, you had, I think I, let me go look at my, I think you had, Brian, on the broadcast, they made the joke and we're like, dude, CJ Carr's going to have to go through warmups again.

Yes.

They had four defensive series before Notre Dame's offense got on the field.

Sure did.
