Matthew CollerHOST
I mean, you've got a lot here.
Matthew CollerHOST
And the kicker is the best, and the special teams coordinator, who I've been telling you about being good for years, is actually good, and you're seeing it sort of come to fruition now.
Matthew CollerHOST
So, like, there's a lot going in their favor.
Matthew CollerHOST
And I think with Kevin O'Connell and Kyler Murray, it... what it should come down to is getting him comfortable with what he can see and execute.

Matthew CollerHOST
Uh, "Mr.
Matthew CollerHOST
Merce has decided to get over my long-held grudge against Matt Daniels.
Matthew CollerHOST
Two years of being literally the worst special teams unit, 23, 24 being overturned by legitimately great." I don't know what you mean by the worst special teams unit.
Matthew CollerHOST
I truly don't.
Tyler WojciakHOST
We're gonna start with what's at stake for the Irish in their first ACC matchup of the season.
Tyler WojciakHOST
Then we're gonna scout North Carolina on both sides of the ball, identify the matchups that could decide the game, and we'll wrap things up with a look at special teams and, of course, my final predictions.
Tyler WojciakHOST
Kickoff is set for noon Eastern inside Kenan Memorial Stadium on Saturday.
Tyler WojciakHOST
That's right, the Irish will be playing in the noon window for the first time this season, and the game will air on ESPN and feature Wes Durham and Dusty Dvorchak in the booth with Taylor McGregor on the sidelines.

Tyler WojciakHOST
Belichick's dad worked at the Naval Academy for a long time.
Tyler WojciakHOST
That's actually where Bill grew up, and Marcus Freeman's dad served in the Air Force for decades.
Tyler WojciakHOST
And as we've discussed many times before on the show, Freeman has a new school look about him, a new school feel about him, but he definitely appreciates a lot of the old school aspects of the game that Bill made a career out of, and they both share a fondness for the third phase of the game, special teams.
Tyler WojciakHOST
I mean, we're talking about a guy in Marcus Freeman whose mentor is Jim Tressel.
Sal CapaccioGUEST
Yeah.
Chris ParkerHOST
And I, I wonder if the special teams coordinator at some point will be asked, Sal, about, or Brady could be asked this too, like, you know, Davis was the all-pro kick returner.
Chris ParkerHOST
This is not a criticism of Dortch.
Chris ParkerHOST
He's been, he's been fine or better, uh, in that role, and he's also of course serving as the punt returner, a job that Davis was trying to earn as well, and maybe lost that opportunity with the, with the muff he had in the pre-season game.
Will ParkinsonGUEST
Offense was very up and down.
Will ParkinsonGUEST
Special teams was awful.
Will ParkinsonGUEST
Week three, special teams was awful.
Will ParkinsonGUEST
Defense was really good in the first half.
Will ParkinsonGUEST
Not as good in the second offense sucked in the first half, except for one drive really good in the second.
11 MINS LATER
Will ParkinsonGUEST
But like – I don't know that Olu is the reason they lost on Sunday.
Will ParkinsonGUEST
I think the reason they lost on Sunday was they didn't execute at the end of the first half.
Will ParkinsonGUEST
The special teams was fucking horrendous.
The AttackHOST
It's unfortunate that I have to spend so much time on Shawty, but Fuss, this game was lost.
The AttackHOST
Turnovers, bad play calling, and bad special teams.
The AttackHOST
That's why you lost this game, bro.
The AttackHOST
Yeah.
24 MINS LATER
Foots the KingGUEST
Hey, man, he needs somebody who he trusts who can get in his ear because right now, as a head coach, as a play caller, it does seem like it's a lot.
Foots the KingGUEST
He doesn't have a good pulse of the game.
Foots the KingGUEST
He's not going to the special teams coordinator and telling him, hey, bro, like – Right now, you keep kicking it out of bounds, and they're starting at the 40, 45.
Foots the KingGUEST
They only have to go 20 yards to even get a field goal range.
Tom OrrHOST
You also have him probably arguably not on third down, but unless it's right before halftime.
Tom OrrHOST
There is an interesting dynamic with the special teams in this game in which Ohio State special teams coordinator Robbie Disher worked for Illinois as their special teams coordinator last year.
Tom OrrHOST
I wonder if they might have something fun up their sleeves this week just as a hello to old friend Brett Bielema, or if Illinois might have something up their sleeves as a hello to old friend Robbie Disher.
Tom OrrHOST
Might be an interesting week on special teams.
Tom OrrHOST
Juck, what are you expecting, not only on special teams, but game on the whole?
Juck MiletiHOST
Yeah, well, if we're going off the first three games, I'm expecting absolutely nothing on special teams, which is what we've seen so far.
Juck MiletiHOST
Slightly disappointed in ranking in the 100s in every single category on special teams.
Juck MiletiHOST
I'd certainly like to see that improve as we enter Big Ten play.
Mitch ShermanHOST
First time out in the Big Ten, I think it's a vulnerability.
Matt SheehanGUEST
all right last one I got for you and what would a Michigan State Nebraska podcast be without talking special teams for a hot second over here it's going fairly well in East Lansing but what about dude like higher of the decade so far I love this guy like if I have a third kid we're just going to name LeVar boy or girl it's going great so far three games in but over at Nebraska thumbs up or thumbs down for special teams how are we feeling about
Mitch ShermanHOST
It's been thumbs down so far.
Mitch ShermanHOST
Nebraska lost Mike Eckler.
Mitch ShermanHOST
It's special teams coordinator to USC after last season.
Mitch ShermanHOST
And it was a big concern.
Mitch ShermanHOST
You know, is Matt Rule going to go out and spend a million dollars and hire a big name special teams coordinator? Could he get LeVar Woods? Matt Rule talked to LeVar Woods about a job when Rule was the head coach of the Carolina Panthers.
Mitch ShermanHOST
And Woods stayed at Iowa, and eventually he jumps to go coach with Fitz at Michigan State.
David FeldmanHOST
don't know.
David FeldmanHOST
I was thinking about the special teams because I think that's going to be big.
David FeldmanHOST
Probably one of the two or three biggest factors of whether or not we're going to have a successful season is going to be special teams.
David FeldmanHOST
It's definitely...
Brendan LyssHOST
Every season.
Brendan LyssHOST
We talk about this every season.
David FeldmanHOST
Yeah, yeah.
David FeldmanHOST
We got our new special teams coordinator, our new power play coordinator out there.
Anthony WeaverSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER

Garrett DowningHOST

When we come back, we're going to shift gears to the Titans special teams woes.

That was a fun time talking about the Peyton Manning.
