And some specific moments, some key moments offensively, some key moments defensively, some overall takeaways from watching the film, and let's start with the offense. And your key takeaways from the offense, Brian. Well, Vince, I think a lot of it we've kind of talked about and we'll just kind of quickly review it here. When you look at it, it was the kind of game plan you needed to see from Mike Denmark, which is an aggressive game. I've said it last week, I said it the week before. Aggressive doesn't equal throwing bombs. Aggressive is also about tempo. It's about creating mismatches. It's about trying to get your players to ball in space. You know, like taking a chance for big play. Like you say, well, you didn't throw the ball down the field, but they got a 23-yard gain on a two-yard pass. Why? Because the way that they used motion, they ran basically two rub routes, ran a pivot route with Jaden Thomas. Now, why did that play get him more space than just a slide from Bo Collins? Because to start the route, Jaden was going the same direction as all the other receivers. Like they were all running crossers, and he pivots and works out. So Purdue squeezes on the crossers, and then Jaden pivots, works back outside, and he's wide open for them. That's an aggressive play, because we're going to manipulate you, and we're trying to get a big play as an offense. Not every big play in the passing game is designed to be a bomb. Now, does the vertical passing game need to get better? Do we need to see some of those shots? Yes, especially against better teams with better athletes. No doubt. But in this game, you did have an athleticism advantage. And so do things to get your guys the ball in space. That was great to see. We talked about, why don't you do more to get Jeremiah and Jadari in the ball, including in the pass game? Again, check. And this was an important game to build confidence. And I think Mike Denverock's game plan, it was not only effective, it was a, hey, guys, I'm putting this on you. When I mean putting this on you, I mean, this is going to be about getting you guys the football, and now you got to go do something with it. And they did. All their playmakers stepped up in some degree. I said, well, you know, both Collins didn't have any big plays. Yeah, he did. Because both Collins is just as much responsible for that first touchdown run as Jeremiah Love is. Because if he, if he, if he just does a nice stalk block, Jeremiah gets tackled for a 20 yard game. It's great play. Good job. But Jeremiah having to cut inside would have allowed that linebacker and the safety to have to slow down. Right. And he would have to slow down. Yeah, it cuts the angle and he had to slow down a little bit. But he dominates them. Right. That's the difference between a 20 yard gain and a 48 yard touchdown. Correct. Right. So boom, there you go. And did you see Bo's reaction after that? It's fire. Oh, man. He looks like he's brought and taught because like he gets it. Like, dominating isn't just about catching a ball. Bo gets it. And and Jayden Thomas had some really good downhill blocks and he's making plays. And it was about, I mean, it wasn't just the Jeremiah Love Show. It wasn't just the Jeremiah Love and Riley Leonard Show. It wasn't just the Jeremiah Love, Riley Leonard Jadarion. Price show. You had Mitchell Levens making plays. You had Bo Collins making plays. You had Eli Reardon making plays. You had Jayden Thomas making plays. KK Smith should have made a couple plays, but both quarterbacks missed chances to throw him. I mean, if I'm watching that film and I'm Mike Denmark and Mike Brown, I'm thinking, we got to get some shots number 11. Because he was and I believe at the time, Vince, it was the starting corners for Purdue both times. Oh, yeah, I'm talking like beating off the line and within 15 yards, he's three steps ahead of that guy. Like, okay, mental note, we got to get 11 in the rock. You know, so, so there's, there's still work to be done there. But I thought that was a really big part of this game, Vince. And then the other part too, and this is, I know one, one you get one to get into, I thought the run game being effective the way it was was a great sign because you went right into the teeth. Yes. Of what their entire structure is getting towards. And basically said, we're not like, yes, the speed part was important, but Notre Dame said, we're going to go right at what you think is the best part of what you do. And we're going to dominate you and they did. Prize picks is America's number one daily fantasy sports app with over five million active members.

For a whole new way to nug, it's got to be Wendy's at participating U.S. Wendy's. And that's the thing. I mean, they're entire defensive structure as you mentioned. I mean, you called it a three four. Some people call it a five two because a lot of times those two outside backers are on the line of scrimmage. And they're geared to stop the run. And you gave the stats from last year. They're usually pretty good at stopping the run. And Notre Dame just said we're better. And they came right at Purdue at what they were supposed to be good at. And they just took their soul more or less. I mean, the offensive line played very, very well in the run game. And two of two of your best offensive linemen, right? And I don't think that's even an argument to your your two, in my opinion, I'll say it, I'll just say my opinion, in my opinion, your two best offensive lineman got hurt. And then you're bringing him backups. Now two guys that had a bunch of starts last year, as Ryan pointed out, they actually got a great experience. I didn't even think about that. You lose your you lose your two best linemen and your replacements mean you're more experienced. It's wild. It's just wild to even think about that. But that is what took place. And it's definitely more experience. Yes, because they started every day last year. You went with guys that had combined 10 career starts. And then you went with you brought in two guys who now have had 23 career starts. Correct. It's just wild. But the point that I'm making is that there was no drop off from the run game when those guys went down. I mean, that they, you know, you plug in Rocco, you plug in Pat Coogan, and they continue to dominate produce off our defensive front. And I was very impressed by that, because that was not happening last week. And your best offensive weapons are your running backs. You want to get the ball in their hands. And the offensive line allowed that to happen more often, basically, because, and again, when you have dynamic guys behind you, like four and 24 and 13, by the way, you don't have to dominate the guys in front of you. You just got to get your body on them. You got to get in the way, you know, they didn't just get in the way they dominated at times. There were times where they just got in the way, and then your backs make plays and they make moves and they, and they do it because that's all they need to happen. And that's what continued to happen. And so I was very impressed with the run game and what they were able to do with the offensive line, even losing your two best offensive lineman. There was no drop off. And so kudos to, to coach Rudolph and the way at least the mentality that these guys are playing with, the mentality that they're playing with is they're going to fight until the echo of the whistle. And I love that. I love that from an offensive line. And hopefully that can continue and they'll continue to get better as they continue to get more experience, etc, etc. That's because that's what you hope. Would you say that all the issues they had on Saturday were technical? Oh, absolutely. And like, like there was one time a meal Wagner got beat real bad because he hits a guy and he goes very level to the front of his shoulder. And the guy just throws him and go like that's a technical thing because when when a meal came and hit guys high on the shoulder, they were toast. And what I mean, hi, I mean like front, like low, high, not high here, but like instead of hitting on the front size, you hit them on more square because then they can't work over top of you. And that's a technical thing, right? It's a technical thing. Not a, it's not a gee, you're not playing hard. You know, I thought as a group, I mean, and like there's things Rocco has to do a better job of the he would hit people and kind of get tall and not moves physical. Yes, Pat Google said, I mean, he looked a lot more comfortable at center, I thought moving around than he did at guard. Yeah, that's kind of wild. Cause he's playing in tighter spot, even tighter spots. Because that's your guard's the whole point. It's your guard to keep having a pin and pull and doing all that kind of stuff. You know, who he is. Yeah, you look more comfortable, and he's not a world beater by any stretch, but at least look comfortable there. So in a guard, a center and pass pro usually is in engage with someone else. And that was a big issue for Pat where a guard a lot more often will be because if the center's helping the other guard, you're solo. Yeah. Well, the center's usually helping somebody. Yeah, usually. You know, so yeah, Vince. I mean, you know, and then obviously with Notre Dame, they use their speed to their like, there's a couple of times I thought against a more athletic defense, that might only be a five yard game instead of a 20 yard game. Sure. But the 48 yard touchdowns, probably at least a 25 yard game against an elite defense. But here's into your point, I'm okay with that. Yeah, because when you have backs like Notre Dame does, sometimes those five, five, five, boom, 50. Right. Well, it's all that against Texas A&M. Right. Like that's kind of my point is like, maybe that's not a 48 yard touchdown against a more elite defense because that corner's not getting driven out. Maybe that linebacker's fast enough to at least finally get the Jeremiah with an angle after 25 yards. Right. Exactly. But it's still a big play. Yes. You know, you know, I mean, this is just this is kind of who they are, but your line has to get them there. And the way they played against Louisville last year, Duke last year, Clemson in the second half. I mean, there's games that you were like, they're not getting to the second level. Right. You know what I mean? It's just like this year, they're doing a better job of that, man. And but some of it, they're still there. And the thing is, when you break down the game, there's a lot to clean up. There's one time that they log it and then the penalty, I think it was NAP logged the edge. It might have been the touch. And then NAP doesn't read it correctly and just slams up in the line instead of falling them outside. Didn't matter because Jeremiah just out ran her linebacker. Well, most teams are going to have a slow 250 pound middle linebacker. Maybe they make, but I don't know a lot of linebackers are going to, that are going to have a step behind Jeremiah Love and catch him to the sidelines. I don't see that. So it, so the point is a lot of this translates to other teams. And you've now told people like, you can't condense your box against Notre Dame. Because if you condense your box against Notre Dame, they will gas you out. They will beat you outside. Yep. And with Riley Leonard also getting his RPA game goal, RPO game going a little bit on Saturday. That also adds to like, you can't, you can't, you went, they brought one corner fire. Jayden Thomas did a great job of, Hey, did you see that play? But Jayden's like pointing at him, like, Hey, Riley, he's coming, he's coming, he's coming. And then he came running, you know, then the guys in his line, she kind of dips down, throws a sidearm. Yeah, Jayden makes a catch and gains 13 yards. Like, right? Okay, now we can't even do that, or they're going to burn us. Okay, so fine. We bring the corner fire, we'll bring the safety down. All right, you better hope that Notre Dame doesn't have a pass cold, because then that running back step enough to take your corner. And, you know, there we go. So those things, but it all started with their ability to come out and go right at Purdue with what Purdue is trying to do best. And when you can beat a team at what they do best, that is an incredibly demoralizing thing. It really is. And that's exactly what Notre Dame did on Saturday. I mean, 362 yards rushing. And they kind of called off the dogs a little bit in the fourth quarter. And they had a couple short fields. I mean, they had two scoring drives in the second half of like 30 yards, Kenny Menchie's touchdown drive was 30 yards. And Stephen Jelly's first touchdown drive was 32 yards. I think it was 32 and 31, because they had the turnovers and which, you know, keeps the stats down, but 8.2 yards per carry. Like last year, they gave up 271 rushing yards to Syracuse. We only gave up 6.2 yards. Most yards they gave up in the game last year is 6.2. After that, their next worst performance was 5.2. After that, their next worst performance was 4.5. You know, I mean, 2022, they had two games of over six. The most they gave up was LSU 7.1. Next size was 6.1 from Wisconsin. There's only one other team that was even over five. That was Michigan playoff team Michigan who ran for 5.9. I mean, so this is not a team, Vince, that you see that being done too very often. Right. It's not. And another end of that. But one of the new things we're going to do in upon further review is we are going to talk about some key moments in the game and turning point moments or, you know, just moments we want to highlight in the game that kind of turn things or continue, you know, the momentum or whatever you want to call it. So we're going to do that for offense. And we've got some good ones in here. So I'll let you lead off and see where we're starting. And then we'll kind of go from there. We've got a couple that we want to talk about offensively. No, you know, obviously the first drive was important, Vince. And Notre Dame getting rolling on the first drive, but I thought that play call for the touchdown was brilliant. And it was a great tendency breaker. Notre Dame has run a lot of counter counter, just pure count like in its guard, a lot of counter guard tight end counters. They touched down run against Texan and was this it was the and so what Notre Dame has done with that a lot is they'll motion with their tight end a lot. And then as soon as the type that you see encounter the tight end comes around and you know it's coming. So the tight end is a key. That play was was basically, I call it tray left wing, right where it's basically to a slot. And then the the the trips left is with the tight end is the tight ends out and he's off detached tray left with a tray left to me is two receivers out in the tight ends attached tray left wing is he's in a wing position, right. And so a lot of times you see like a zipper motion or something or that. But they had the they had the tight end actually stepped down like he's blocking inside zone, seal the edge and they they went old school counter tray and brought the guard in the tackle around. That's a Tennessee breaker and Purdue didn't react well to it. Right. Because they were key in the tight end. The backside was key in the tight end and they crashed hard. They crashed hard. And then the defensive end comes down. I thought Pendleton did a you know Pendleton did a great job of seeing the level he was coming right off the a meal blocks down. So so counters down blocks and then kick and then a wrap. And so but you don't kick a guy that's coming inside if a guy's coming inside, you do what they call a log block. So you actually block him on the outside and you kind of get around and then you're supposed to read that and get around. He sees that level guy came right off of meals, but Sam reacted to it quickly, logs the guy and Jeremiah read it perfectly and bounced it. And then the linebacker comes down off that slant and then Jeremiah read that as well. And as soon as Jeremiah cut, he sees that linebacker stepping down and he just takes off for the sideline and is out runs the guy. I thought it was a great play design because your trip, you're basically three to the left on that play. So you've gotten Purdue because what do we say last week? They're going to stay in their five. They're going to stay in their three four look. And if you go trips, they're just going to bump a linebacker out or safety. That's great. So then what you do bring a counter tray back to the other side. Great, great scouting, great play call, great execution. That play was so big because that was the spark moment where it wasn't just like you said that methodical like they were okay. It was, Hey guys, you're in for a long day. And so I just I loved the play calling. I love the play design. I love the mix up where you're not doing your normal counter. You're now doing your counter. I mean, you're going old school red skins, you know, hogs guard tackle counter tray. Right counter tray back in the day is counter with tackle tray count, right? And you're bringing that around. So man, I thought that was beautiful to see. Beautiful to see that was my, that was my kind of key moment number one that's no doubt about it. Hey, Irish breakdown listeners, it's Urban Meyer.

I've got a podcast called throwbacks with actor Jay Farrar. We'll be talking all things sports, but also so much more. We'll give you the behind the scenes stories from my days as the quarterback on an iconic college football team to Jerry's days as a star on an iconic TV series. So subscribe to throwbacks on YouTube Apple podcast spotify or wherever you get podcasts. I want to talk about the third offensive series, I think was a, was a key moment in this, in this game because, you know, obviously they went down in the series. You're talking about big touchdown, you know, for love, the whole deal huge big time. Then they came back in the second series and they go three and out and plundered the ball, right? Not a great answer, right? After there was like, there's nothing open on the, they ran a flood concept in three by one. Nobody was open. You missed the checkdown quarterback scramble. Yeah. And then yeah, because you're, because you both tackles give up pressures. It was, it was not a good, it was three and out. I mean, it was, it was an ugly three and out, right? You give the ball back to the defense or, you know, the defense is back on the field. Well, defense goes three and out for you. Okay. So you get the ball back. Then they go on an 11 play 82 yard at their own 13, right? Yes. Exactly. 100%. So it was on their own 18 and then they get a flag for a delay, like right off the bat, which I'm not going to lie, it kind of ticked me off. I hate when they get a delay a game out of a timeout, essentially, which is exactly what happened. Yeah. So they're automatically in first and 15 on the 13 yard line, which, yeah, that kind of pissing me off. I hate that. So I can't even tell you how much I hate when that kind of a thing happens, but, hey, whatever. Here's what also made that, that drive huge on. So on the first play, Leonard runs ball for six yards, which I thought was important, by the way, and was another just kind of example of a Tennessee breaker. They ran zip motion to that. They ran trips to the left, had Jayden Thomas go on a zipper motion, which means he comes in and out, which so far in that game and we're running to that. Leonard takes a step to that direction, Purdue bites any, they're countering backside, get six yards. Like you went from first and 15 to second and nine. Now you're somewhat back on schedule. Continue. Right. And then they then love hits a big, another big run for 21 yards. And that's the play where Billy Schrauth goes out. Yeah. Okay. So you lose your best lineman. You lose your best offensive lineman on that play. In comes Rocco Spindler and they continue to just matriculate the ball down the field. Right. And again, it ends up as an 11 play, 82 yard, 82 yard drive. And it took five minutes and 43 seconds off the clock to, I mean, that was, that was an answer to me. Right. Here's a lot of different things in that drive. Agree completely. So it was a, we talked about the starting fast. It was a crucial aspect to that game. Vince, the 21 yard game, Mitchell Levens, who has not been known as a great blocker in his career. Right. Especially last year, it was okay, solid. Great backside block on that. I mean, just absolute great backside block. Jeremiah Love shows his athleticism by hurtling the guy that was on the ground. And then you obviously had some good downfield blocks and, and Jeremiah turns into 21 yard game. But there was a couple other things that I liked about that drive to Vince is obviously you come back on that the RPO game so far this year has not been great for Notre Dame. It has her. You come back on that next play after the 21 yard game. And you come back and you go to a three by one out of 22 personnel, which I thought was great. So two tight or excuse me, a 12 personnel, you have two tight ends and two running backs in the game. And so they've got Mitchell Levens to the, or to the left in a wing or excuse me Cooper Flanagan. And then Eli Reardon is in a trips alignment essentially. He motions all the way across and then comes back on a zipper motion. And it's a, it's a tell, it's a run tell, but they had gotten Purdue to kind of react to that. And they ran inside zone read with that little tight end under, which is a huge RPO play for LSU under Dembrock that they haven't been able to get going yet. And Reardon does a nice job staying at the line and not drifting like Cooper Flanagan did. And Riley reads it well, hits them, and you get a 12 yard gain. So you get back to back plays that take you from your, from the minus 13 to just like that two plays later, you're at the plus 48. Yeah. And then, you know, drive starts stall a little bit. You're in, you're in third and eight at the 46. Maybe it's two down territory, maybe not. So as a defense, you're kind of thinking past. Right. And Notre Dame comes out on that, that, that third Nate Vince and they put a Nias Williams in the game. And when a Nias has been in the game or Devin Ford is in the game, what's coming? It's a pass. Yeah, exactly. And so what do they do? They run a quick inside zone, hitter right up in there, which tells me they were in two down territory, which I loved the aggressiveness. I agree with that completely. I was going to do brought a blitz Vince. They actually had six in the box, but the offensive line completely washed it down and a Nias did a great job of staying right on the butt of Anthony Knapp. And Anthony Knapp, I thought, I think it was Anthony Knapp, but looking at the play now, Anthony Knapp, I thought had a great block on that play. I thought it was him. Yes. He takes the defensive end and literally just drives him inside, which allows a Nias to stay on his butt and get separation from the linebacker. And then Nias runs through the linebacker's tackle attempt and just grinds for the first down. I've got a great job of just twisting his body and falling back. Great run. Well, falling backwards for him, but forwards as far as what the office needed him to do. Yeah, huge. So that moves the chains. You get that going and you go out the next play. The next play is a pass to rare. Yes. And you run that RPO and then the very next play is the cornerback blitz. Yes. That they beat. Yes. Well, no, no. Yeah. Two plays after the Nias Williams one, you have a completion that you lie right in right when they put him in and gets ice and then you've got the RPO for 13. And it just was like, you had everything going. Yes. And you got your inside zone game going. You hit two RPOs already. No, you're using motion to get leverage and then next thing you know, it's no. Yeah, just like that. You know, on that drive, they went 11 personnel. They went. This is their personnel on each play 11, 11, 12, 20 to 11, 11, 12, 11, 11, 12. And then they get into the red zone vents that they're in 12 personnel on second and three at the eight yard line. They pick up the first down on a quarterback counter and they go 11 personnel. And they get this is interesting. Why? Because they knew they could get Purdue out of the box and they just gassed him with a little quick tackle trap play right up the middle for touchdown. You're like, that was vented. So great execution, great play calling. Right. And and then, you know, Riley's making good decisions in the RPO game. Your offensive line's doing their job. And they had to handle some adversity because at the very beginning of that drive, your best offensive lineman, in my opinion, your opinion is down for a minute, like a little bit. And you know, didn't get shook. Rocco came in, did his job and everybody else did their job and they go down. And I thought that score might have been that drive might have been the most pivotal moment of the game. And depending on how the rest of the season goes might be the most pivotal moment of the season. That was though, hey, guys, we're pretty good. We can do this thing. Let's get it rolling. I thought that was crucial. And then the last thing Vince, the third one was that third and sixth that put them up 21 because 14 nothing is good, but it's still not necessarily okay. You know, you guys have got it all figured out. You're good. It's not quite. So they get into a third and sixth and they're at their own 36 yard line. This is a crucial moment. So they go trips to the left and they have Mitchell Evans as the number three receiver Mitchell is great on third down out of that alignment. But Notre Dame instead decides to motion him over. Why? Because they knew they had a much better shot of having him in a man to man against a linebacker. It's a big safety, but he played them like a linebacker in this game. And they run their burst corner route and they did a lot of this stuff on Saturday. So the, the, I think it was both Collins runs a burst corner. So he comes inside and he, and it's so the burst corners. Now say it goes in, up and out. And the way that Purdue was defending that it, the corner would squeeze and it almost created like a de facto rub route with actually rubbing the guy. And Mitchell runs a good route. Riley throws the ball perfectly on time and then Mitchell extends the first down. I thought that little motion, I thought was because in the boundary, you're going to get a pure one on one. What they were doing to the field on some of those option routes is they were kind of passing off to, you know, linebacker here, passing off to the flat defender and kind of bracketing there to the boundary, you're getting more of a true one on one. And it's our best receiver, like looking at it from the coach's standpoint, our best receiver against the linebacker in a one on one where he doesn't have any help, I'll take that match up. And then Mitchell and Riley both got it done. I thought that play was was the final kind of nail in the coffin because after that, it was like, okay, now it's first down. And Notre Dame goes 14 yard jet sweep, 10 yards on a on a on a rap play. And then two plays later, Riley Leonard's taken it in from 34 34 just running over. And I mean, that was as he was running down the sideline, he's just taking their will at that point. You know what I mean? They couldn't tackle them. They couldn't do anything. But you don't convert that third and four. You're now punting the ball back to Purdue and you've given them a little bit of life. You're punting from your own 30 something 40 something. And they they're like, Hey, guys, yeah, we've played terrible, but we're not out of this. We get one score. And it's a ball game game. Yeah, you convert that third down and then finish the drive off. That was a huge moment that really put that game away. I mean, the game was over at that point on you give this Notre Dame defensive 21 point lead. I don't care who you're playing. Yeah, I don't care if you're playing Georgia, Bama, you give this defense a three touchdown lead. It's over agreed, agreed. So those are kind of my my key moments in the game.
