00:03 But when you haven't arrived yet, and you just go on the road, or
00:06 you just come back home after a really tough three game stretch,
00:10 two games on the road, fourth straight ranked opponent in a row.
00:13 And you dominate like that.
00:16 Yep, man, that's a great place to be, Ryan.
00:19 >> And you needed it, man.
00:21 I mean, guys, I'll repeat it again.
00:23 I've said it like four times already.
00:26 Notre Dame needed that game.
00:28 You needed it.
00:28 You needed it.
00:29 USC was a team that last year, they front ran against you the entirety
00:34 of that football game, and you know that if one bounce goes this way,
00:39 one turnover doesn't happen here, maybe you have a shot to win that football game
00:45 in the end, but for the most part, USC outplayed Notre Dame from start to finish
00:49 for the course of that football game.
00:51 You needed to prove to yourself as a young team, from a coaching staff
00:55 perspective, and all the way down to the true freshmen that are on the football
00:59 team now, that you can win this type of football game.
01:02 You can beat a top ten team in your house, a bitter rival, you needed to do it, man.
01:08 And, Brian, I know you wanted to start with the defensive side of the football,
01:11 because it's only right.
01:13 It's only- >> But I just wanna say this first too,
01:15 Ryan. It was a really cool atmosphere for
01:16 those that were at the game.
01:18 It was loud.
01:19 The crowd was into it.
01:21 I mean, I give them a lot of credit.
01:22 The crowd was into it.
01:24 It was great to see, I mean, you had legends back, you had Joe Montana came back.
01:27 They did a really cool thing where he walks out from the,
01:30 during one of the timeouts in the first quarter.
01:34 They show this on the scoreboard, they show this guy walking from behind,
01:38 they show the cameras behind him, and you can tell who it is.
01:40 And he pounds on the first sign coming out, and he pounds the sign, and
01:44 then they're like, ladies and gentlemen, and they started, and
01:46 then Joe Montana walks out, crowd goes crazy.
01:49 They introduced Justin Tuck, crowd went crazy.
01:51 They showed the finish against LSU in the bowl game in 2017.
01:55 Ian Book's pass, Miles Boykin, boom, who's on the screen?
01:59 Ian Book, Miles Boykin are there.
02:01 It was great, man.
02:02 You had like Keyshawn was there.
02:03 I was told that like Will Fuller was, or not Will Fuller,
02:06 Will Ferrell was supposed to be there.
02:08 USC had all their legends at the game.
02:11 Notre Dame had a bunch of legends at the game.
02:14 And you went out and dominated, and it's all.
