Welcome back to another edition of the Irish Breakdown podcast presented by Fandul.

I'm Vince. That's Brian. And this is, well, the final edition of a pawn further review for the regular season, which is weird to say.

But I guess I'm also sitting here in December saying it. And that's even more weird.

So, Brian, we want to do something that we do every single week,

and we are going to go and check out our keys to victory, and we're going to revisit those.

So keys to victory revisited. And we're going to see if Notre Dame was able to accomplish

those keys. Obviously, we know Notre Dame won. They won big over Stanford, but it doesn't mean

they reached all the keys. And so we're going to jump right in here with the offense. You ready to do

this? Always ready, baby. All right, let's do it. So first key to the get, first key to victory on

the offensive side of the football is the same every single week

and it is start fast yeah i'd give them a check on this i mean you could give them a plus but they

weren't perfect they did require a 84 yard special teams fake to get a touchdown you know they

scored on their first two drives no it wasn't always pretty yes you had to convert a couple fourth downs, but you know what?

You had to convert fourth downs. You got them. You had to score inside the 10-yard line, which has been a problem for you all year. You got it. Yeah, you went three and out on your third series. The special team bailed you out. But then on your next series, series number four,

you go down the field and score another touchdown,

make it 28 nothing, put the game away.

Right.

Converted two third downs to get there.

That's good football.

You know, like, that's good football.

And, you know, again, they had the ball, was it six times?

So you had four scoring drives, two punts. You had the ball, was it six times? So you had four scoring drives, two punts.
