00:03 >> Guys, I don't know what to say.
00:05 We're gonna have a lot to say, but I don't even know how to start this other than,
00:09 but holy wow.
00:11 >> I'm too old for this.
00:13 >> What, guys, we have done in the last, almost exactly to the minute.
00:19 In one week, we have seen the game end on the exact opposite,
00:25 same way, but flipped for Notre Dame.
00:29 But Duke completely outplayed Notre Dame for the final 28 minutes of that game.
00:35 Just like Notre Dame outplayed Ohio State for 57 minutes last week.
00:40 But in the last, let's say 27 minutes, the last three minutes of the game,
00:45 the defense made the stop when they needed to, polar opposite of last week.
00:49 Offense did what they needed to do.
00:52 Even the last drive was a perfect symbolism of that whole game for
00:57 the offense, penalties, like fourth and 16, third and long.
01:02 But they got the job done and they gotta win, guys.
01:05 And look, we're gonna have a lot to say.
01:07 And this football team in a lot of ways is gonna have to do a gut check because
01:10 the reality is they got outplayed in a lot of ways tonight in the second half.
01:15 They completely outplayed Duke in the first half, let Duke hang around.
01:18 We kept texting each other the whole game, like, man,
01:20 they're letting this team hang around.
01:21 This should be a blowout right now.
01:23 Then Duke whoops them in the second half, outcoached them in the second half,
01:27 out hit them in the second half.
01:28 I know Ryan, you have a lot more to say about that.
01:30 But when the game was on the line, fellas,
01:32 the Notre Dame players did exactly what they didn't do last week.
01:36 They stepped up and made the plays they needed to win the game.
01:41 So yes, there's gonna need to be some soul searching this week with some players on
01:44 this team, and they're gonna have to find some answers on offense about some certain
01:48 things, and there's a lot to get into.
01:50 But guys, when I thought this team was about ready to quit,
01:53 I texted you guys this, I think they quit.
01:56 Duke had a couple nice drive runs, and I was like, I think they quit, and
01:59 they stepped up and they won the game.
02:01 Just a tremendous finish.
02:03 This team, when it mattered most, showed a lot of heart, guys, and got it done, Ryan.
02:07 And I'll say this, man, they went on the road and
02:13 beat a team that every bit deserves to be ranked in the top 20 tonight.
