Sean's Notre Dame Preview Episode

please hang up and try again all right hey Sean how's it going Billy raids how you doing buddy this is gonna be a big show buddy yeah doing good so this is a um this is kind of a a special episode that we're going to have um available for everybody it's kind of our in our Speak Easy format it's a little bit different than than the regular um weekly show but this is um instead of just being exclusive who are paid patreon members this is a free show for everybody so this is uh Sean this is your this is your time to shine Sean as as they say this is your um your Notre Dame preview show uh first time can see the background I have there I took that picture from the building across from the golden dome when I was out golden dome yeah as I think Baka would say it's your your hunch right your hunch the fullback the quarterback and the hunch back [Laughter] yeah but uh I think Bill we were set up pretty good with this with uh Nathan wrot a nice college football article put up on our website and it did great I mean it might end up being our highest rated article you know because it's in in the feedback has been tremendous and um he set us up and we're ready to go Billy we're gonna have the Notre Dame preview all right I'm G yeah no let's let's do it I got some questions for you Sean um about the team this year so let's let's kick let's get it kicked off so I mean the obvious question Sean is what you know how how far can this team go this year what's the what's the ceiling well Bill you know and I'm gonna sound like a homer here but the the ceiling in his team is National Championship undefeated and and this would be the first time that a team would have to go be 16 and0 with the new format the 12 uh team playoff format you would have to go 16-0 we've had 15-0 teams but we've never had a and0 team so I think that's the ceiling in his team I really do the talent is there uh Freeman has his coordinators now arguably with Mike Dem brck at offensive coordinator and Al golden at defensive coordinator Notre Dame has the best combination of coordinators and you know that's the ceiling bilding yeah I mean as far I guess injuries probably have a lot to do with it Sean right I mean if everybody stay healthy you have to you have to take injuries in account and listen we've had you know Benjamin Morrison the the All-American Corner who's going to be a firstr NFL pick he'll probably come out early uh but he he was injured he had surgery in the offseason so he's expected to be back but you never know Billy might they first month you know and and we've had uh Mitchell Evans uh All-American tight end who might be a first round pick he had surgery in the offseason um how was he look in the first month do they take it easy with him you don't know but but for the most part Bill uh injuries they haven't had any they a couple injuries here and there but nothing really significant that that's really going to hurt them right now knock on wood you know going into the season they're they're pretty healthy yeah that's good that's always a good sign so um you know I mean obviously there's there's a lot of talk about the coach coach Freeman right this is going into his what now third year third as coach so what do you see as his biggest challenge this year well I mean to me Bill his biggest challenge is to to navigate the schedule and and don't have the pitfalls you had with with making sure your team is up every week and not fall into those like Louisville last year they weren't prepared to play that game at night they they should have never lost that the you know the way they did that crazy game right that was yeah it was just but they weren't ready to play that game Billy and and they had better team than Louisville and they just didn't show up at night they weren't ready um you have to get that but the first season Billy Freeman's problem was he lost to teams that were he should never lost to like really bad teams like Stanford was a horrible team Marshall and I think he corrected that in season two he um you know they they won 10 games and nine of them were blowouts so like you're talking like four touchdowns or more so he beat the teams he was supposed to beat he beat them badly now it's like you know you didn't play that great on the road you got to fix that because that first game is a tough place to play Texas A&M is one of the hardest places to play in college football and that game is going to be at night and even though ESPN says Notre Damon irrelevant that's where they go week one right gonna be there it's it's GNA be nuts and and Bill when you asked me about the ciling I do want to say the for team to me and this is how good I think this team is the for when you look at the schedule because I I don't think Notre Dame has a team on that schedule that that there's not a team on there that has more Talent than Notre Dame I think 11 and one and then you know win a playoff game and then maybe you lose in the second round to to a tough opponent so a 12-2 finish to me that's the floor so if Mar Freeman goes like God forbid he goes eight and three or I'm sorry eight and four nine and three I mean I'm not going to sit here and say he should be fired but I am going to have to re-evaluate expectations because uh either he's he's going to take a lot longer than we thought or some something is wrong because this team should not be you know they won 10 games last year they shouldn't be going backwards Talent a lot of experience you have your coordinators so to me that's the floor Billy well let's let's break down the schedule I mean you got that tough first game at Texas ANM then you got Northern Illinois that should be a win right should be but Bill the ma teams are pretty tough you notice on the schedule the the two Mac teams they play they're they're pretty good Mac teams but what you notice there's no power games so you don't have Alabama you you don't have Georgia you don't have Ohio State you don't have Clemson like Notre Dame usually has one of them in there um they don't have that so a lot of people say it's an easy schedule but it's really not there's a lot of good teams there but go go ahead so you got go through it yeah well yeah let's we could like do this mike in the Mad Dog for right we go all right we got Texas Anam week one we got Northern Illinois H week two uh Purdue week three mik what do you say what Purdue win or loss Purdue I tell you Purdue I look at Purdue's and it's a horrible roster I mean they really struggled um they've had a lot of recruiting hits uh but you never know that's an old school rivalry you know again you got to show up every week you got to be ready the next week uh they play Miami of Ohio I'm gonna be at that game out in South Bend um yeah now that's a that's a pretty good uh Mac team miam Ohio so but again you look at the first four games even A&M Notre Dame's a better team than A&M all of those teams that first month so just take care of your business don't let the distractions playing at night in Texas bother you and and the thing is Notre Dame has a lot of kids on that team from Texas so gon have a lot of kids Billy dad because they recruited well in Texas yeah so go through the rest of the schedule buddy so so so they should be Forno going into that rematch with Louisville right right and that's gonna be that's Louisville has a lot of talent they they've in the offseason Billy they they did really well in the the transfer portal braah is a really good coach he you know he's he's a Louisville guy they got a good passing game they they're this going to be a tough game but but not's a better team that should have never happened last year you're playing at home you know you gota they're gonna be they're gonna be prepared this time I mean they're gonna be that game I would hope so all right then um then at home against Stanford Stanford's a horrible team Billy their their program is a disaster but they are joining the ACC now I don't know if that's going to help them they fit academically there um but you know they losted them a couple years ago horrible Stafford team nor they so you can't Overlook anybody yeah then uh neutral site location versus Georgia Tech yeah Georgia Tech going to be an improved team but their schedule is brutal so I don't know what their record will be they they could have a bad record but be a very dangerous sneaky team so that's a game Notre Dame's got to be up for yeah and another neutral sight game against Navy is that the uh yeah that's the metal lands game I'm taking Nathan that game we're going to that game uh maybe going to the to the army game and Yankee Stadium if I could take the Brocks at night again I don't know uh but we're definitely going to the Navy game too so that's a tricky game Billy because you know they that you can never Overlook that that uh triple option Billy well they always play them tough right they Na's never going to quit they're going to play that's that's a big time robry a lot of history there so can't take that all right then you're home to Florida state which is going to be huge Billy y you know that's going to be huge I don't think Florida State's going to be as good as they were last year obviously they were undefeated um but they still got a very talented roster they get a very good coach and that's that's going to be probably as close to a power game as you're G to get maybe A&M you want to call that on this on the schedule yeah um all right and then you got the next week is home to Virginia which is going to be another very sneaky game Billy that's a trap game because this is what I talked about at the beginning where Marcus Freeman coach Marcus Freeman has to navigate that schedule because this is a week like let's just say they beat Florida State in a tough game now you're coming back and you have to get that team ready because Virginia don't care who you played last week they are coming in that's their Super Bowl playing Notre Dame is their Super Bowl and they are going to be up for that game and if you're coming off a tough physical game against Florida State you know you got to get that team ready there can't be a down because Virginia could beat them Virginia they they got Chris Tyree transferred from Notre Dame to his home State Virginia one of the fastest kids in the country uh Virginia's got a good team Billy that's that's a trap game trap I agree all right then as you mentioned the the Yankee Stadium game against Army right fin oh go ahead go ahead no I mean that's you know another triple option game so you got to be careful an Army's not going to quit they're going to play right to the last whistle right and then you got your seat regular season finale against USC which is the the annual game and of course that's I don't know how much longer we're going to have that because Lincoln Riley's already crying that they're going to the big 10 and and uh Colin coward is a big USC fan he's on there crying that they're gonna they want to get rid of that rivalry because they're playing too many Big 10 powers and but the thing is USC I think is going to be Lincoln Riley's never played defense Bill his team's never been good on defense but he did hire some good defensive hires on the coaching side he's made some good transfers in and I think he's he's recruited decent on the defensive side so if he could get that defense playing better they might not be as dynamic as they've been with Caleb Williams on offense but they're they're going to be pretty dangerous and that's a rivalry you can't take that for granted I mean no matter what USC's record is uh that's in the Coliseum it's going to be a battle yeah all right let's talk a little bit more specific about the team so um as far as um offense and defense what uh what do you think their their strengths are what do you what are you most excited about well on offense Bill what I'm excited about is um obviously the quarterback position so you know the Freeman one of the weaknesses he recognized was Brian Kelly did not recruit top level quarterbacks and when he did he didn't develop them and that was a problem that was the Gap uh problem he had with the Alabam and the Ohio States and the Clemsons and Freeman closed that you know you got you got Riley Leonard transferred in you got CJ Carr I talked about him before Billy most advanced High School quarterback I've ever seen um he the spring he did not disappoint he was fantastic uh barring an injury though I don't think I mean Riley's your guy Riley's gonna start but remember Riley got hurt in the Notre Dame Duke game last year and you know he's still he's still slowly recovering he you know how's he going to be you know at Texas A&M is he going to be ready are they going to have to bring in CJ Carr a little bit but Riley gives them a dynamic bill with his legs that uh could really cause a lot of problems because it opens up a lot of things but for me the the most exciting team team uh unit on Notre Dame is the running backs Billy I mean yeah you know you lose audri estimate to the to the Broncos and right you know the two guys that were behind him last year you had Jeremiah Love was a true freshman and jaran price was coming off an ACL injury lost the whole year before um but those guys you know they played a little bit last year but audri was the guy this year those two are the guys and and they're going to be one a and one b and I'm telling you Billy that's I I can't see a more Dynamic combination in the country they are going to shock people because people outside of Notre Dame don't know how good these two guys are and barring injury they are going to be so dominant Billy not just in the Run game but in the passing game you know and they've been using love could flank out to the um he could he could go out to the flanker position I mean he they they move them around uh but they their dynamic in the in the uh passing game and the thing is price could price was a kick returner last year and now with they bringing in the transfer from Marshall the number two kick returner in the country Jayden Harrison now price could concentrate just on running back so those two guys are Dynamic Billy Dynamic and I think with Den Brock it's going to be you know he's going to utilize his strengths and he's going to find a way to get those guys the ball and then on defense Billy they've been a top 10 top fiveish defense um I think with the talent they have this year with the experience coming back um you know I think uh I think you they could have the top defense in the country B if W that's how good I think the defense could be yeah so I Sean you mentioned um the recruiting before what uh who are the freshman that you're excited about uh that are coming into the team this year obviously CJ Carr I mean I mentioned him I talked about him but but again barring an injury to Riley Leonard um CJ's CJ's the air parent but there's other good quarterback Kenny minie from Tennessee is a really good quarterback and um you know we'll talk about guys transferring in this later uh but but CJ I'm really you know I'm really looking forward to seeing him he was fantastic in the spring but I'll give you a offensive lineman Billy from Boston gerby Lambert now you don't want to have true freshman starting and Notre Dame you know there's lot of guys buying for positions a lot of guys would experience so you don't necessarily need a freshman to start but this guy might work his way into rotation I wouldn't doubt it because he's a monster Billy he's already coming in at like 66 like 310 wow he just looks like a man among boys really out there he I'm looking forward to seeing him uh there's a couple where's he from he's from Boston oh okay he went to a private school up there and he uh very smart kid uh but he was he was a borderline five-star recruit uh everybody in the country wanted him and came down I believe Harvard in Notre Dame Billy even though everybody wanted him that's how smart the kid was wow Harvard really made a push for him but uh this kid is fantastic and and I think we got some freshman wide receivers coming in I like cam Williams and michah Gilbert I don't know if they're going to be able to get in a rotation um but then on defense Billy uh Kingston vama Assa Hawaiian kid uh and of course he brings back memories of Manti tail he's the most advanced uh linebacker freshman coming in that I've seen since Manti I mean I don't know if I go as far as the instincts that Manti had uh because I mean if that that cat fishing thing didn't ruin his career Billy he would have been a fantastic NFL player we'll have to we'll have to do a show on that Sean should Billy because to him that was a dis I'm sure you saw the the you know documentary on that yeah that's hat a job oh it was terrible what they did to him yeah terrible what they did to him but I think the Netflix special was pretty good though yeah you know but yeah but but this kid has those type of instincts Billy so I and then uh another person on defense Bryce young who's a son of Bryant Young Notre Dame great in NFL Hall of Famer from the 49ers uh he's he's about 67 Billy he's got arms like Vines and uh he's gonna make an impact at defensive end I mean he's not he's not going to start they got guys to start but they're he's too good to not have a package set to have him coming in rushing at quarterback because he he's a Monster yeah um all right Sean let's let's uh keep going here so I mean obviously we got some Players whose eligibility is running out who do you see as far as players that kind of need to reach their potential this year well that's a good question Billy there there's I'll give you one on on inside of the ball on on offense I would say Dion Coy Dion is a wide receiver from Georgia unbelievable talent I mean he's he's got the size speed combination that that is very rare I mean it's just a he's just a tremendous talent but he hasn't been able to put it together some of it's been injuries some of it's been just trying to J just from going to Georgia to to Notre Dame and uh you know he just hasn't put anything together yet and this is you know he's got I believe he's got two more years he does have fifth year eligibility but with the talent they're bringing in Billy um he's gonna have to make a decision and this is the just the state of college football I mean if he he's not in that rotation this year he's got to make a decision does he transfer somewhere else where he could play um so he's got to step up he's had a good spring um but there's a lot of guys in the receiving room has been revamped Freeman has really done a great job revamping that because it's been an issue and um you know he's got to step up and then on defense Billy I'll give you one another Hawaiian kid they got a great pipeline to Hawaii but Jordan Batello I mean this kid's like an enigma Billy he's going in his senior year and he's played a lot of football and he's showing signs of greatness but he's just no consistency and and he was the MVP had a bowl game last year and I think the balll game the year before he had a even better game but his regular season there's games he just disappears you don't even hear his name and he's he's got all the skills to just be a weapon there you know he could be a run stopper he could be a pass rusher could just be a formidable end and he's just he's they got so many guys Billy where he better step it up or maybe he loses his starting position wow but if he wants to play in the NFL he has to have a big year because he's got skills to to play the next level he's just got to put it together yeah all right um well Sean you know we did we did a show about nil and the trans transfer portal and everything and you know Notre Dame's got a bunch of transfers this year I think the quarterback from duke right didn't he transer Riley Leonard is he's a transfer that's the kid that's I told you start over CJ Carr he's from duke okay okay what other transfer players are you looking at this year oh well the wide receivers Billy because you know they they had to get rid of the the coach coach Stucky they fired him and the the coach Kelly had Dell Alexander was was not good and the receiver room has been a problem for a while this recruiting still hasn't been figured out yet so they have to use the transfer portal and they B in guys Bly they brought in I mentioned Jaden Harrison the kick returner for Marshall now a lot of people didn't expect him to make a impact in receiver because he he did he was mainly just a kick returner Marshall but he's he's really looked good as receiver very quick very fast but the other two they brought in Billy bu Collins um you know he's a he's a fantastic um he's a fantastic uh wide receiver and anytime Billy you get a wide receiver from Clemson um that's fantastic I mean you get a guy from Clemson Billy they're big time uh the other one is Chris Mitchell from Florida International um speed guy Billy speed guy and he put up big numbers over thousand yards at Florida National now how does that translate from that level to the level of playing you know Big Time D1 at Notre Dame we don't know but he has looked good in the spring very fast but bringing in those guys Billy has really got me excited and then on defense Billy they brought in um Jordan Clark to play nickel now nickel um you know they use the nickel in their a lot of their base packages Billy because they Ed nickel lot they're going to play a lot of teams that pass the ball and he's a son of uh Ryan Clark that played with the Steelers oh okay he played with LSU and it's interesting Bill all these guys that played in the SEC like Plaxico well not Plaxico burus but but other guys that played in the SEC and and maybe um some of these Southern schools they send their kids to Notre Dame because they know they know you know they want to get that education but he's won they got Rob herd from Northwestern um he's going to come in he's a corner but they're going to him at safety um to play opposite uh Xavier Watts the All-American so that's a big one and then they got another kid from duke Billy RJ Obin at defensive end then last year when they played Duke they had trouble with two guys RJ Obin and and um Riley Leonard and Notre Dame grab them soon hit the portal so I'm excited about those guys um yeah Oben obin's a really good defensive player yeah so Sean as far as um you know specific players that can kind of change the fortunes of of this team um who do you see like if they have a great year that that can kind of lead them to to the title or you know somebody if to have a lousy year uh you know going going the opposite direction sure um well Jordan Jordan great or um Jaden grous is um a freshman that played a lot last year he played a lot last year as a freshman from Texas uh very very good receiver um if he could step up and he's been like the receiver room right now has a lot of really good receivers Billy and Dem Brock likes to go with a rotation of about six but I'm looking at the roster they got about 10 that that can play but who is the alpha dog in that room you know what I mean like they have a lot of number twos but do they have that number one that go-to Dynamic you know receiver and I think jayen greous could be that guy as a true sophomore he he looks theart he he had the spring he he kind of took that mantle and I'm thinking if he could take that to the next level um I'm thinking that's the key but as far as guys that that if they don't take it I mean the offensive line is is very talented but but kind of young Notre Dame recruits the line like nobody else and there's a couple guys on there Charles jagas one of them red Shir freshman he started the balll game last year when of course Joe alal and Blake Fischer who ended up being Al was a fifth pick in the NFL draft and fiser was second round and um they didn't play they opted out at a bowl game he he took over that spot um he has to have a big year if he doesn't have the year that's expected of him um that that could hurt Billy that could hurt so we really need him to step up and and I think he will I've seen other signs like I haven't seen any signs that say he's not gonna yeah and that's on offense Billy um on defense um there's one guy in defense that I think he's he's the most dynamic player I I've seen a long time and as Jaylen Sneed uh kid from South Carolina just unbelievable speed and it's first two years you seen flashes of it but now he's starting to get consistency and they're going to move around you'll see him at Rover you'll see him at will he's the kind of kid that could blow up defenses blow up defenses and as far as you know players that that could hurt that if they don't it' be like if Benjamin Morrison don't come back from the injury that really hurts because I mean they have they have Christian Gray's a top corner but I mean you know you want you you can't lose a Benjamin Morrison you need him so that that would hurt that yeah yeah you mentioned of course the offensive line and Notre Dame lost a couple of uh starting offensive linemen in the in the NFL draft how do you uh how do you replace those guys well the thing is Notre Dame recruits there like they they just give me another five star I mean they recruit five stars after five stars I mean that's a position you know they're look at the NFL you got you know Quinton Nelson and uh Zack Martin and Aaron Banks and just the highest paid offensive lineman I mean I think five of the top six are from Notre Dame I mean they're they're full line you so the thing is you got to get them developed though because you're gonna have a young it's going to be young you know you might have uh red sh freshman in there a couple red sht freshman but you also maybe if gery Lance plays you have a true freshman so they're a young team but they do have experience Billy so it's like just get them ready and just you know it's like the Ohio State it's Billy and the Georgia and Alabama's you know you don't rebuild you reload and Notre Dame could definitely just reload at the offensive line so next man what about players transferring out Sean yeah you know Billy this is just the world we live in like you look at M's quarterback room and you got you got four really good quarterback so you got Riley Leonard is going to be the starter but he's in his senior year he's transferred in got CJ carza Tru freshman Kenny minch's a red shirt freshman and then you got Steve angelli Steve Angeli's uh a very experienced quarterback and then you got Duce Knight coming in for 25 season now there's a lot of teams I'm not going to get into the drama teams in the South Auburn LSU uh Alabama they're trying to poach him there's all kind of rumors that they're trying that he might be flipping I'm not going to get into that until the kid signs and signing day everybody in the SEC is going to be after that kid so let's just leave it at that and then you Noah grubs in the 26 class so what Freeman's done is every year we're going to go after top level four high fourstar five-star quarterback so what'll happen Billy is can't expect all those kids to be on a roster like Steve angelli you know I don't know if he's going to transfer this year or next year but if he's not the starter he could go to a place like Syracuse or Ruckers or someplace like that and and start two years he's got two years of Eligibility and maybe get on an NFL roster so you why you know you can't expect these these Sports quarterbacks to be there because that's just the world we live in and then next year Billy when Riley Leonard's gone CJ Carr is gonna be probably the man but Kenny MCH is gonna be right there Kenny Min don't start Kenny he's not going to sit around a wait no transfering so that's just we live Billy so worry about the I don't worry about it um Freeman's done a good job getting the transfers he needs so it's just the world we live in Billy you know sometimes you have to have a conversation with a kid that's a senior and you got a younger kid coming up like they did with the center Z zek Carell last year and tell them look we can't guarantee you a starting spot next year yeah then if you want to go somewhere else and he went on NC State and and that's that I mean you know so I don't worry about the transfers really yeah and I I would also I'd encourage um our listeners to go back if you haven't listened to that episode that Sean and I did about nil and the transfer portal um definitely go back and find that in in our you know in our library because we uh that was a great episode I think we we really did a good good job explaining that yeah all right um a couple questions I I've left for you Sean then we'll wrap this one up um okay you know Notre Dame will different than than most big-time schools because of their their academic standards right I mean as far as you know academic workload goes for for these players do you feel like that that's a factor in you know kind of wearing them down as the season goes on whereas you know some of these other schools you know these kids aren't showing up to class they're not they're not you know they don't have a full academic workload Notre Dame they have to so um what what's your opinion there bill it's it's just the reality of it you know when you go to Notre Dame though you realize you're GNA you're G to goow harder I mean it's it's you know I listen to Mike gs's podcast Mike gby was a a captain linebacker with Notre Dame the early 2000s and he talked about how hard it was the academic uh struggle is real there and he talked about how games he'd get ready for games and he was so tired he didn't get much sleep he was up studying and uh the other team you look across the the the field and and the other team it's their Super Bowl they're fired up ready to go and he didn't even want to play the game he's so tired sometimes and that's just a reality building you look at it you know Notre Dame had a 94% graduation rate in the last thing that came out and that's just because they had a lot a couple guys go out Billy like Joe Al left early Blake fiser um but usually Notre Dame's up around 98 99% graduation and then you get a team like Georgia Billy Georgia was 41% and this how bad that is Billy they took out they didn't count guys that left early for the NFL or guys that transferred so that 41% only includes the players that were were left and didn't graduate I mean what are you doing how could you even call yourself a university if you're graduating less than half of your your players I mean that's just that's just pathetic Billy and I think it was like a span from like 2016 or something so you're not just talking about one year right and and yeah the struggle is real Billy that could MC struggles is real you know you got to work around that you know you got midterms and everything and you know it's you know that going into Notre Dame though it's not going to change you know ever goon a couple years ago you know try to get a shortcut having somebody you know do an essay for him and and they kicked him out of school and it ruined his career yeah so it's like they're not gonna play around they don't care if you're the starting quarterback or whatever you got to make the grades right absolutely all right Sean um I'll ask you one more and then we'll wrap up this episode um where and I you know obviously we're we're getting it's get uh it's getting late early right it's we're starting to get to that point now where The Season's starting up where is Notre Dame ranked right now as far as the national media goes um from what I've seen every anywhere from around five to 10 um Nathan had him at six in his his poll I I don't you know I I'm okay with that uh that's about where you know between five and 10 is where most people have them and and I'm okay with that you know yeah because again you gotta prove it they won 10 games last year but now you know you got to take it to that next level so I'm I'm fine with that I mean it's it's just amazing no Billy that these these guys got to Gaslight everything and they they say that you know their names IR relevant and this and that especially ESPN and then where do they go week one game day Texas A&M right I mean it's like come on but yeah I mean most of the I think most of the the major announcers I mean if they're they're not going to be biased I think that's where they have them ranked the ones that I've seen and and I'm okay with that I'm okay with that yeah okay all right I mean Sean you you think as far as as far as you think this is probably their best shot right their best shot that they've had a long time to to win it I'll say this Billy I think this is their best roster they've had since the early 90s with Lou Holtz and I think this is the best combination of coordinators in the country which is important because now lets your young coach uh Marcus Freeman kind of be the CEO he could Overlook he let them guys cook let them guys do what they do and and you could oversee the team and where you needed you know he's he's an ex linebacker if they need him to to get in there with the linebackers and he could do that but he could oversee the whole thing now and um I think you know I think yeah I think this is it I mean again if if they go eight and four nine and three I'm going to be concerned Billy but I'm not going to sit here say like I know the Notre name fan base will go crazy and they'll say fire Freeman and I'm not going to go that far but I am going to be concerned if they like I said the floor this team is 12-2 with a playoff win that's the floor yeah so if anything less than that I'm G to be a little concerned yeah because there's no Clemsons on the schedule there's no Ohio States there's no georgas there's no Alabam but that doesn't mean the schedule's easy because went through it but yeah all right all right
