00:02 Yourself, because this is a team that in a lot of ways just lacks confidence,
00:06 in my opinion.
00:07 That's what last week was.
00:09 And the defense didn't lack confidence in itself.
00:12 The offense lacked confidence in itself.
00:14 The offensive coaching looked like they lacked confidence in what they have.
00:19 The defense didn't look like they lacked confidence in themselves.
00:23 They looked like they had lacked confidence in the offense on Saturday
00:26 against Louisville.
00:27 And honestly, that's the most justifiable lack of confidence that there is in
00:31 this conversation.
00:33 But a game like this can turn all of that around, Ryan.
00:37 And that's the beauty of this kind of game.
00:40 And that's the beauty of sports is there's always that next opportunity
00:43 to figure it out.
00:44 And if you figure it out, you're six and two, you jump up in the rankings,
00:51 you get back inside the top 20, you start feeling better,
00:54 you climb up again during the bye week cuz somebody's gonna lose.
00:57 You climb up again when you beat Pitt, right?
01:00 And so on and on and on and all of a sudden, Notre Dame's a program again,
01:03 where you just go into the offseason feeling really good about where they are.
01:06 So that's the opportunity.
01:07 And a lot of the stuff we talked about is the doom and gloom, but
01:10 that's the reality of the split of where Notre Dame is.
01:13 I really believe that.
01:14 That's not hyperbolic, that's not a hot take.
01:17 That's just the vibe you get when you're at the game on Saturday.
01:20 It's the vibe you get when you just look at this team and
01:23 how they're playing and just the emotional place that they're in,
01:29 is that this isn't just another game.
01:31 This isn't just one of 12 guaranteed opportunities.
01:34 It is that, but it's much more than that.
