Tyler WojciakHOST
He made some plays, so that was encouraging.
Tyler WojciakHOST
And then when Jane Sanders had to come in the game for DJ McKinney, once he went down, he made a great interception.
Tyler WojciakHOST
So he's building off his strong performance from the week before.
Tyler WojciakHOST
McKinney's injury did look pretty serious, though, so that's something to monitor going forward.
Brian SmithHOST
They miss having all their players not be banged up.
Brian SmithHOST
I don't know if DJ McKinney's out for a while.
Brian SmithHOST
Notre Dame's got a lot of issues.
Brian SmithHOST
I don't know if they're a top five team right now, but again, who else? You got to put somebody up there.
Pete SampsonHOST
like the depth of Notre Dame's defense was going to ultimately win the game for them.
Pete SampsonHOST
Cause it's, that's a play where DJ McKinney gets hurt.
Pete SampsonHOST
He goes out very next play.
Pete SampsonHOST
Jaden Sanders makes that pick.
Greg FlammangHOST
This team with Leonard Moore on it, with Adon Shuler on it, with Luke Talich on it, Christian Gray's played 1,000 football games or 1,000 whatever snaps.
Greg FlammangHOST
DJ McKinney's played 1,000 whatever snaps.
Greg FlammangHOST
Leonard Moore's a three-year starter.
Greg FlammangHOST
Adon Shuler's a three-year starter.
JTHOST
But Notre Dame's strength coming into this season was how good their secondary was.
JTHOST
Leonard Moore, you have DJ McKinney, two potential first-round caliber NFL corners.
JTHOST
Notre Dame was touted as the best secondary coming into this season.
JTHOST
And this was the first time all season Notre Dame faced a opponent that had the ability to truly test how good of a team they are.
Brian SmithHOST
They've got multiple guys on their defense that are very good football players that are out.
Brian SmithHOST
DJ McKinney is now one of them.
Brian SmithHOST
But I don't want to hear any excuses.
Brian SmithHOST
Still got Leonard Moore.
Max ChadwickHOST
He's just an all-around great linebacker, and it's great to see him come back from that injury and play like the elite football player we knew he was going into the year.
Max ChadwickHOST
Don, the secondary for us right now, we got DJ McKinney from Notre Dame and Jet Jefferson from Mississippi State.
Max ChadwickHOST
At safety, we got Kingston Lopa from California and Jalen McClain from Ohio State.
Max ChadwickHOST
And the flex player is Ashton Hampton from Clemson.
Max ChadwickHOST
Who stands out there? Actually, really, Don, looking at the cornerbacks, DJ McKinney from Notre Dame, Jet Jefferson from Mississippi State, they were not thought of as the number one corners for their teams going into the year because, of course, you've got Leonard Moore and Kelly Jones Jr., but both DJ McKinney and Jet Jefferson have been outstanding this year for their teams, too.
Dalton WassermanHOST
I think Jefferson, especially we talked so much about Kelly Jones in the off season for Mississippi state and he's a fantastic player, but this Mississippi state secondary is a very real problem.
Dalton WassermanHOST
I mean, obviously the only game they really struggled was against Alabama and everybody's struggling except Georgia on defense against Alabama right now.
Dalton WassermanHOST
And if they can do that, I think they proved that they are very real problem down the stretch, right? So much of the spotlight has been on Camario Taylor and everything he's doing on the offensive side, but Mississippi state and their new defensive coordinator, Zach Arnett, they've put together a really good secondary here.
Jamie UyeyamaHOST
M- majority, 75% of the time he's an outside guy.
Jamie UyeyamaHOST
So yeah, some of the time Leonard Moore is gonna be on him, or d- or DJ McKinney, right? Like, that is what you're gon- he's gonna see for a lot of the game, right? So, um, yeah, you're gonna see that matchup, like, a fair amount.
Jamie UyeyamaHOST
Um, and I think, too, 'cause i- as much as I think, like, um, I think Walker Lines is a good player.
Jamie UyeyamaHOST
He's, he's talented.
Malik ZaireHOST
Let's keep it going on the way out, love.
Malik ZaireHOST
Let's hear from DJ McKinney, who's actually played BYU twice.
Malik ZaireHOST
He talked about it.
Malik ZaireHOST
I
Vince DeDarioHOST
This is a little similar to me to Texas-Oklahoma, right? Hey.
Chip PattersonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There is one path for BYU to get it, and they're going to need a special teams touchdown and a defensive touchdown and a breakdown, right? Like an awful holding call on DJ McKinney on a moon ball to Glasgow or something.
Chip PattersonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Just the perfect recipe of outcomes is what you're going to need to maybe – maybe give yourself a chance to kick a game-winning field goal.
Sean StiresHOST
Okay, so the first part of that, that probably went a little bit differently than you thought that that was going to go, first of all.
