00:03 So what we're going to learn this week is number one,

00:07 is Notre Dame willing and able to do more in a pass game with

00:12 the pass game against a better opponent?

00:16 Are they just going to be a ground and

00:18 pound team that tries to create some big play opportunities?

00:21 That's fine.

00:23 I don't know that that's going to work a ton against Duke,

00:25 because it shows says right there on the on the breakdown.

00:27 Duke is yet to allow completion of 30 yards or more on the season.

00:30 Are they going to look at the Ohio State game and say, hey, look,

00:33 we've got to get better in some very fundamental areas.

00:36 So if you're coach Stucky, do you look at that and say, man,

00:38 my guys didn't play well?

00:39 Or do you say, you know what, this is the second game in a row and

00:42 against a pretty good pass offense or pass defense,

00:45 where my guys didn't do a very good job getting off the line.

00:48 I got to fix that.

00:49 That's on me.

00:49 I got to adjust that.

00:51 Do you do things where you say, okay, you're now five games in?

00:54 Are you going to find ways to use certain players better, differently,

00:58 more to improve your pass game?

01:00 Because right now, we say this all the time, right?

01:04 You don't get evaluated and

01:05 judged on what you do against Tennessee State and Central Michigan and

01:09 Tennessee State Navy.

01:10 You get judged on what you do against Ohio State.

01:13 And what you did against Ohio State was your pass game wasn't nearly good enough

01:16 to win the football game.

01:18 It only led you to 14 points.

01:20 Yeah, you had a couple drives late where you were able to get going.

01:23 But Ohio State for the most part, shut your pass game down.

01:27 And this Duke team is going to present a very similar challenge.
