Zorich.
P
37:23Pat HadenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Chris Zorich, number 50, I believe is the best nose tackle in all of America.
P
37:28Pat HadenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
What he does is, he's so good he can make plays in the backfield, he can make plays at the line of scrimmage, but then he'll hustle downfield and make plays in defensive secondary as well.
P
37:38Pat HadenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
He does not stay blocked.

on the handoff to Aaron Emanuel and he runs right into Chris Zorich and Zorich knocked him down after getting up to about the 47 yard line but we also have a penalty marker on the play.
T
53:46Tony RobertsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Five seconds showing on the clock here in the first quarter.
T
53:53Tom PagnaSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Larry Smith the coach of the Trojans had said before that he had some doubts about whether or not they'd be able to run the football with consistency against the Irish right there is one of the examples of what happens when you run it and don't do the full efficient job, I think they're going to get called for holding.

T

A
54:31Allison HayesHOST
So just, Reggie, you were a member of Lou Holtz's coaching staff for that Japan Bowl, the difference for you between being a player for Coach and then actually being a coach for Coach Holtz and just what that overall experience was like and what you're expecting and what folks can expect from this film tonight.

We Thought We Were Past Questions About Chris Ash's Notre Dame Defense
S
30:06Sean StiresHOST
You know, I think it's complaining.
S
30:08Sean StiresHOST
Chris Zorich kind of said this yesterday.
S
30:10Sean StiresHOST
It's complaining if all you do is bitching and moaning, but you're not offering any alternatives to what's going on.
S
30:17Sean StiresHOST
I would say one of the big alternatives to what's going on with Chris Ashe's defense is stop tipping what kind of scheme that you're going to be in before the ball is even snapped you know going back to what we were talking about before like if a team is going to roll 12 I would roll 12 personnel out there all day and you know see how many times Chris Ash continues to play soft zone coverage and just keep peppering the tight ends like the teams have started to do the last couple of games or just throw 11 personnel out there and you know like just to double check what's going on like but it I would fear Notre Dame playing man-to-man is what I'm saying.
