Hour 2: Best Answer Ever

It was nuts, and you were in the building for one of the biggest, if not the biggest, of that in the world.

the Notre Dame-BYU matchup in Provo.

You mentioned off the top the kindness of people, but take us inside.

Paint the picture for us.

We saw game day out there.

We heard about the atmosphere.

I heard you and Tony Simeone talking about the way that BYU had built this into one of the biggest opportunities in home games in that school's history and a banner moment for them in the Big 12.

Yeah, it really was.

Listen, and it's not like, you know, they were number eight.

I mean, this was a true top ten matchup.

They were number eight in the country, and they were number eight defensively overall.

While Notre Dame was number one, BYU was number eight.

BYU's offense had only given up three sacks.

Notre Dame's offensive line had only given up four sacks.

I don't think there was a sack in the game.

And Notre Dame went with the strategy of not blitzing.

right? And I'm sure that had a lot to do with Bear Bachmeier, because all Bear Bachmeier did was run for two touchdowns, throw for a touchdown, and caught a pass for a touchdown.

He was their entire team.

LJ Martin, their big back, was out.

Notre Dame down at halftime, 21-10, but makes a comeback and took the lead, 24-28 in this game.

So They left a lot of – and that's, I'm sure, what Marcus Freeman and the coaching staff is going to talk about with Notre Dame.

They left a lot on the field.

Field goals instead of touchdowns, turnovers right before the half.

C.J. Carr was looking to kill a pass or to kill the clock on, I think, the four- or five-yard line.

The snap got bobbled, and he threw it down, but they ruled it a fumble, which BYU recovered, so Notre Dame got no points.
