Ep. 3 - Rice Recap / Michigan State Preview · Domer & Sons

0:04
Welcome to a very special edition of Domers Sons, a family podcast on Notre Dame football.
0:11
I'm Matthew Rose, the first Domer.
0:13
I'm joined here to my left, Domer number two.
0:18
Hey, Elizabeth.
0:19
Hi.
0:20
Nice to see you.
0:21
Nice to see you, too Also by my son, William.
0:25
Hi, William.
0:26
Hi, Dad.
0:27
And Calvin.
0:30
Hi, Dad.
0:31
Hey, what's up, guys?
0:33
Today is Sunday, September 13th.
0:35
It's the day after the Rice game, and this is episode three, our Rice recap and Michigan State preview.
0:43
As I said earlier, we are joined today by Mama Bear, Elizabeth Rose, our other Domer, and we'll hand out Rice game balls today, recap that game, and give us a Michigan State prediction and preview.
0:58
Before we start off, I was a little bit, off base last week in the haste to get the pod out, and I forgot to thank some folks.
1:06
I wanted to thank our hosts for last weekend on that special Wisconsin trip, the Whowell family, Steele and Allison,- two teammates of ours and really, really close friends.
1:17
Allison Steele hosted us for the Wisconsin weekend up in Door County.
1:21
We had a fantastic time.
1:23
Got to share a house with the Fonsecas, Uncle Tony, Aunt Jenny, and the girls.
1:29
And were joined there also by the Fitzpatrick family, Ray and Colleen, and their three sons, as well as our special Decatur friends, the Diamonds, who have a freshman son, Jack, at the University of Wisconsin.
1:43
Hey, Whowells, thanks for hosting us.
1:45
We had a blast.
1:47
You're the best.
1:48
Also wanted to quickly do a shout-out to the Irish in the NFL here.
1:53
Cal, you have a little recap about the New England game and the Uncle Beej and Uncle Tony grudge match that happened?
2:00
Yeah.
2:01
Well, as we all knew, Patriots are schedule merchants.
2:04
And, uh, yeah, so- Drake, Drake Maye, Maye had three inter- Meatball Maye.
2:11
Yeah, Meatball Maye had three interceptions all in the second half.
2:15
Julian Love, a Notre Dame alumnus, had one of those.
2:19
Eli Rairdon had one pass the entire game, and it was a touchdown in the red zone.
2:25
And Jeremiah Love found the end zone.
2:28
Against the- The Los Angeles Chargers fraudulent Chargers.
2:32
And Xavier Watts on this awful Falcons team was very busy today as they lost to the Steelers, but, you know, it's fine'cause he had four tackles.
2:43
Yeah.
2:43
So Irish in the NFL, that's who we got so far.
2:46
I think I even clocked a Tommy Tremble, couple receptions earlier in the Carolina game.
2:51
Yeah.
2:51
But that's who I've seen thus far.
2:53
Let's get on to- Rice.
2:56
All right?
2:57
52 to nil.
3:02
Nil.
3:04
Nil.
3:04
It's zero in football.
3:06
Which football are we talking about?
3:07
The one you call football.
3:09
Is that American football- It's real football or the international game?
3:13
American football for this Domers and Sons- podcast.
3:15
All right No more nil talk.
3:18
No more nil.
3:19
52-nothing.
3:20
They got, they got shut out.
3:21
Let's go through this game.
3:22
On offense, Cal, what, what happened on offense, or what didn't happen in offense?
3:27
Nothing really.
3:28
Like, I think we were super efficient.
3:30
The one thing I'm a little scared about is our running game.
3:33
I was not super impressed when all of our starters were out there that we couldn't get a great push on Rice, so, you know, break one free.
3:40
But Nolan James, Aeneas Williams, and even JD Osborne all look great out there, especially Nolan James Jr.
3:46
Then CJ Carr, definitely had a very good performance.
3:52
This game he had around 253 yards and four touchdowns, so it was super impressive.
3:58
But the thing that I was most impressed about is that we targeted a ton of guys.
4:04
It was super impressive.
4:07
Okay, I'm gonna be devil's advocate here.
4:09
I wasn't all that impressed with CJ Carr's accuracy.
4:13
What do you think about that, Calvin?
4:14
I thought he was accurate.
4:15
I Adon't, I Adon't really know.
4:17
He was 16 of 20.
4:18
Yeah.
4:19
Well, he had a lot of high throws.
4:20
He sent some young- young guy to the hospital.
4:25
Yeah, yeah, well, he had one hospital throw to Milan Graham.
4:27
Yeah, I mean I mean, what?
4:30
I th- I thought his, um I'm out of my depth.
4:32
I wish you'd cut this.
4:34
Jayden Greathouse, we got a good performance from him.
4:39
Even those against Rice, it was nice to see him, go out there.
4:42
Logan Saldate and Elijah Burress and even Jerome Bettis Jr.
4:45
all impressed me very much.
4:46
And then my guy, Matt Jeffery- Mm just killed it out there today.
4:53
Efe.
4:53
Efe.
4:54
Yeah.
4:54
And shout out to Devin Fitzgerald as well.
4:58
Yeah, I think the, the passing game's super efficient overall.
5:01
25 of 33, 360 yards, as you alluded to.
5:05
Four touchdowns.
5:07
Those 33 passes were divided between three quarterbacks.
5:12
We got to see the young guys come in, which is always fun.
5:15
Got to see a lot, a lot of young guys on both offense and defense, and really excited about some potential opportunities there.
5:23
Cal, are you worried about the run game at all?
5:25
Yeah, a little.
5:26
When we play Miami or even BYU and SMU, I just feel like we have to be able to run the ball.
5:31
And if we can't run the ball great against, Rice, like we only had 118 total rushing yards and I Adon't like that.
5:40
Well, how many attempts did we have?
5:42
It was off 32.
5:43
Yeah, it was 3.7 yards per attempt.
5:46
That's not good.
5:47
It's not good at all.
5:48
The one bright spot here that I thought was Jonas Walton had a very, very good game, so think we just watch out for that.
5:55
But Nolan James Jr., he's gonna figure out a way to become RB1 later on in the season to be honest,'cause he had a good game.
6:04
I'm breaking one of the cardinal rules of, cross-examination'cause I'm asking a question I Adon't know the answer to, but what did you think about the involvement of the tight ends in the offense?
6:14
I would've liked to see more of them.
6:16
I feel like we just didn't get the tight ends involved enough, especially James Flanagan.
6:22
He didn't even get targeted, I think he did.
6:25
I think he had a drop Did?
6:28
No, I think, no What am I thinking about Jack Larson?
6:31
Probably, yeah, you're right.
6:32
I think he's 85, right?
6:34
Yeah, Jack Larson's 85.
6:35
Yeah.
6:35
Yeah.
6:35
I just wanna see more involvement with Cooper Flanagan.
6:38
I am not very happy with the involvement of our tight ends right now.
6:42
How were they involved in the run game?
6:44
I Adon't really recall.
6:45
Not really.
6:46
I just feel like we need to run a little more like 13 personnel.
6:51
We have three blocking tight ends, and if we Adon't use 13 personnel, or even 12 personnel, it's kinda pointless to have all these good blocking tight ends and, only bring out one or two, a couple snaps a game.
7:05
So I'd like to just see more tight end involvement since we do produce a lot of tight ends.
7:10
Yeah, I'm hoping that Dan Brock's kind of, just easing into the playbook and not showing all of his cards here early on in the season when, like especially against a Rice team that we Adon't have to expand the playbook all that much.
7:24
William, defense.
7:26
Tell us a little bit about the defensive performance against the Rice Owls the defense definitely had its, best performance of the year, Kingston Valamuasa coming off that ACL first start, he led the team in tackles.
7:41
Bryce Young, that was a breakout game for him.
7:43
1.5 sacks.
7:46
It's nice to see Bryce Young- Yeah have a breakout performance- Well, like- after a great performance last weekend Yeah, um- They certainly were bringing the energy, huh?
7:53
Yeah.
7:54
Like- The forced fumble from Adon Shuler was impressive.
7:57
We There were, five total fumbles, four recovered, which is a ridiculous ratio.
8:03
And I think that they showed aggression and passion.
8:06
Yeah, the 14 seconds in, Uncle Tony said how hard it was to get a scoop and score, and we would probably be more likely to score off of a pick six- Yeah than what happened in the first 14 seconds.
8:17
He kinda, he kinda ate his words there.
8:19
We all ate our words I think,'cause we all agreed with him.
8:21
Yeah.
8:23
Leonard Moore again had a ridiculous game.
8:25
Yeah threw it, a cross to him one time.
8:27
Yeah, th- one time in the first quarter and it was batted.
8:31
I think our secondary, the starters did a really good job.
8:36
Towards the end, the backups were a little bit shaky, but other than that it was, a good performance.
8:42
I think that, Luke Talich did a good job of filling,, Te's shoes in the free safety position.
8:49
And Adon Shuler still had a good game, not as good as last week, but it was a solid performance Yeah, we got to a lot of young guys out there too- Mm-hmm right?
8:58
Yeah.
8:59
Joey O'Brian got a lot of snaps.
9:02
I think he had two tackles total.
9:05
And what about, 44, our guy Rodney Dunham from North Cackalacky?
9:11
He had a, he had a fumble recovery.
9:13
Yeah.
9:13
Yeah.
9:14
It was great.
9:14
He had three total tackles and, he played great.
9:19
No, it was pretty, pretty inspired performance by the defense.
9:22
I think it was, I saw a stat on Twitter that through the third quarter Rice had 56 total yards of offense.
9:30
Yep.
9:31
It was right around midway through the third quarter that we did a, effectively a wholesale substitution- Mm-hmm on both- Yeah sides of the ball.
9:37
So, they got, they got, you know, 75 yards or so in that time between midway through the third quarter to the end of the game, and who knows how much they woulda had available to'em if we just kept our starters in the whole time.
9:52
This is what, in my mind, this is what a championship team does.
9:58
They tear apart very convincingly, inferior opponents.
10:03
And so that game two curse that we've had in the past, especially against a Group of Six team, we, we came to play and showed some intensity.
10:12
And not to be too cliched, I think we left no doubt yesterday- Mm-hmm on the field.
10:16
I think that KVA was definitely filling a hole in, the explosiveness of the linebackers that we have.
10:23
Drake Bone isn't the fastest guy, at the middle linebacker position.
10:28
I think KVA was shooting through the gaps in the offensive line recording some tackle for losses, and he did a great job.
10:34
Yeah, I really loved seeing him out there.
10:36
It was a joy to see him back on the field.
10:39
I agree.
10:40
Let's recap our score predictions here going over our Rice game predictions.
10:46
Calvin, big winner this week.
10:48
Cal, you had 49 to six.
10:51
So that's definitely the closest to 52 to nothing.
10:56
So congrats, man.
10:57
Appreciate it.
10:58
Just y'all Adon't believe enough in our offense.
11:00
Yeah.
11:00
Or defense.
11:02
So Yeah.
11:03
I was the, I was, the low scoring, contributor here for the predictions.
11:07
I had 42 to three, but, impressive.
11:10
Impressive showing by the Irish overall.
11:12
All right.
11:12
Let's let's hand out some game balls and, let's go with our other Domer first.
11:18
Other Domer?
11:23
Let's go with the best Domer first.
11:25
Yeah.
11:25
Let's go with the- Let's go with the two time- Let's, let's go with the Domer that graduated this century.
11:30
Let's go with the two-time team captain.
11:32
Mm.
11:32
Better than my other Domer first.
11:34
I, I like, I like, I like my hype man over there, Cal.
11:37
Thank you for that assist.
11:38
I get no love for being one time here?
11:40
Yeah.
11:41
Yeah, because it's not multiple.
11:42
That's true.
11:43
That's true.
11:43
You're Um- Hey, who was that MVP that one year?
11:46
Mom.
11:47
No.
11:47
I was MVP.
11:49
MVPs Adon't matter, team captains do.
11:53
All right.
11:53
Do I get to talk about my game balls?
11:55
Would you like the game balls?
11:56
Yeah.
11:57
All right.
11:58
Take it away.
11:58
So on offense, I really enjoyed watching Nolan James run.
12:02
I think he has a bright future.
12:04
I know he's a bit undersized, but I really felt like he had a motor and he was, punchy and I felt like that was gonna be something that we could build off of, particularly as our O-line strengthens.
12:15
And then I learned a new player this week, Rodney Dunham, the edge rusher, was, really impressive to me.
12:21
I felt like he was, both explosive and at, at the ball at the right time.
12:26
And I get a wild card.
12:28
Yeah.
12:28
And as a mama, I think, one of my favorite things was to see, the bus's reaction to his own son's performance in the stands.
12:35
That was a really cool moment to see him fired up.
12:37
It was a fun game to watch.
12:40
N- one of those games, one of those few games where There wasn't a lot of anxiety about our team's performance, which was sort of a nice relaxing way to, to watch the game.
12:48
So those are my game balls.
12:50
Absolutely.
12:51
All right, William, game balls.
12:53
Okay, so my game ball on the defense is KVA.
12:57
Yeah.
12:58
Um, he had 1.5 tackles for a loss and led the team in total tackles.
13:03
He was explosive, and he showed that he's back to his old self, and he's ready to ball out.
13:10
And for offense, I have Jordan Faison.
13:13
For the few snaps he was in the game, he looked very explosive and shifty, and he had two total touchdowns.
13:21
Awesome.
13:21
What about a wild card?
13:22
You got a wild card?
13:22
Wild card I'm gonna go Jerome Bettis Jr.
13:27
JBJ.
13:29
Yep.
13:30
It was a long catch.
13:31
It was a 56-yarder, I think.
13:33
Mm-hmm.
13:33
That was pretty awesome Those are all great ones.
13:37
Cal, let's walk it through.
13:38
Yeah.
13:39
Give us, uh, give us offense, defense, wild card.
13:41
Yeah.
13:41
Offensively I had C.J.
13:43
Carr.
13:43
I was super impressed with Ryan yesterday., Yeah, he was just accurate.
13:47
I especially liked the play with Micah Gilbert for his touchdown.
13:51
Defensively, I have Bryce Young.
13:53
I think William mentioned it.
13:55
He had a very, very good game.
13:57
Two and a half TFLs or maybe it was one and a half.
14:00
I Adon't, I Adon't really remember.
14:00
And then my wild card is every single person in the wide receiver room because we were able to trot out a fair amount.
14:08
Elijah Burris Jr., we showed, like he's a very capable, uh, wide receiver and then I was impressed by Logan Saldate as well.
14:17
That's awesome.
14:17
Yeah, big day for the Irish wide receivers, especially, uh, NFL legacy wide receivers.
14:22
Mm-hmm.
14:23
You know, I think Larry Fitz's son got in there, JBJ and, uh, Plax's son.
14:28
So congrats to their families for having their children just do great in this first game appearances for those guys.
14:37
As for myself, on offense I'm gonna go with Micah Gilbert.
14:41
Mm.
14:41
I thought he- I like that.
14:42
Yeah.
14:43
Yeah.
14:43
It was kinda fun to see him do well on the boundary.
14:47
As we have discussed in previous pods, we need that boundary receiver position to really be shored up.
14:53
And so if he can get some confidence that he can take forward into this next part of the season, that would be obviously very beneficial to the Irish.
15:03
Was, the touchdown pass by him your favorite pl- offensive play of the game?
15:07
Yep, it might have been my favorite offensive play.
15:08
That was pretty awesome.
15:09
Mm.
15:09
I thought C.J.
15:10
showed some leadership there.
15:12
Yeah.
15:12
I, I loved it.
15:14
I loved it.
15:14
What about C.J.'s leadership did you like there?
15:17
He was out of the pocket, he was calm and composed, and he waved him over to the side to pick the spot and threw it.
15:23
It's pretty awesome.
15:24
And he got up and got it, right?
15:25
Yeah.
15:25
Yeah.
15:26
He went and grabbed it, for sure.
15:27
Yep.
15:28
Defensively I'm gonna go with, Jayden Ausberry.
15:31
Mm.
15:31
You know, he's a guy in the linebacker room who doesn't get a lot of the press because Bowen and KVA often take up a lot of the copy, or the, even the word space in pods when talking about our linebacker room.
15:46
But Jayden Ausberry is just totally dependable, very reliable.
15:51
He just goes about his business in a very professional way, workmanlike way, and gets the job Adone.
15:57
I think he led the team in tackles yesterday and just was all over the place.
16:02
And then wild card I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go kinda similar to Cal's, in a little bit of- Elizabeth, I'm gonna go with the entire freshman class.
16:14
I thought it was really cool.
16:15
You can't do that.
16:16
What?
16:16
I can do everything.
16:19
You sure do like your freshmen, Matthew Rose.
16:26
I do.
16:26
I do love my, my freshman.
16:28
I happened to marry one, so that, that was good.
16:32
It's good for all of us.
16:33
Yuck.
16:35
Shouldn't have said that.
16:37
So, uh, yeah, the freshman class, uh, you know, on both sides of the ball, Elizabeth already shouted out Rodney Dunham.
16:44
He was fantastic.
16:45
It was great to see the freshman receivers out there, freshman running back, Osborne, Jonaz Walton, and we haven't talked about our QBs.
16:55
We got a little bit of, Noah Grubbs action, and even some late, Teddy Gerrard action.
17:01
Shout out Kennesaw, Georgia.
17:03
Yeah, pretty cool to see all those guys get touches, get some meaningful game time,'cause they're the future of Notre Dame football.
17:13
All right, 52-nothing.
17:15
Up next, Sparty, the Michigan State Spartans.
17:20
You guys, we used to have a pretty fierce rivalry with Michigan State dating- Yeah all the way back to 1966 in the fabled one versus two match up.
17:31
For the Michigan State preview, I'm gonna hand it over to William.
17:36
All right, so Michigan State is 2-0.
17:39
They have a new coach, Pat Fitzgerald, and, they beat Toledo 30 to 20 and Eastern Michigan 35 to seven.
17:49
So those are two not so worthy opponents, but, against Eastern Michigan they looked kinda rough in the first half but they took control after halftime.
17:58
The big thing for Notre Dame is to stop the run and make, Michigan State chase Notre Dame's coattails and try to keep up with them.
18:06
The big playmaker for Michigan State is the running back Cam Edwards.
18:11
He had two touchdowns and 150 yards against Eastern Michigan, and he's very important to contain.
18:18
And they've got a QB Alesso Milivoc.
18:24
Is that how you say it?
18:25
Good job.
18:26
Yeah.
18:26
I think that sounds right.
18:27
Yeah, and he threw for 170 passing yards and two touchdowns against Eastern Michigan.
18:33
He's not so mobile.
18:34
He's more of a pocket presence, which I think is a better for Notre Dame because of their secondary.
18:41
Charles Taplin is their number one wide receiver.
18:45
He's, he's an explosive player and he's kind of a highlight reel machine so far into Michigan's season ev- even though they played Toledo and Eastern Michigan.
18:55
Their defensive standout is Jordan Hall, a linebacker, but, he actually missed the Eastern Michigan game due to injury.
19:03
Michigan State's kicker is also very reliable.
19:06
He had, five field goals last week against Eastern Michigan, and he's really good.
19:13
Yeah, I think I also included a 52-yarder too.
19:17
The three most important things for Notre Dame is just stop the running game.
19:22
Michigan State wants to control the clock, drain it, and not give Notre Dame time to score.
19:29
And we've gotta start out explosive.
19:31
Put them on their heels.
19:33
Attack in the run and in the pass.
19:36
Um, get those chunk play yardage.
19:39
And the best match up for Notre Dame is, Michigan State's offensive line versus our defensive line.
19:47
Michigan State's line is very weak.
19:50
They lost a lot of players to, the transfer portal and they've got a lot of holes there.
19:56
Michigan State is more dangerous than Rice if Notre Dame lets them hang around.
20:02
But if, Notre Dame can control the line of scrimmage it'll be a blow out for sure.
20:09
Awesome.
20:09
Awesome.
20:09
Yeah.
20:09
We finally got, I think get a more traditional, uh, quarterback, like you said- Yeah a drawback passer.
20:15
So that's gonna allow our defensive line to shine- Mm-hmm like you said.
20:19
I'm excited to see what this defensive line can do.
20:23
Like you said, if we can put them away early, to me that also means just also win the turnover margin battle.
20:29
We are fortunate we are now plus 6, two games into the season.
20:34
Haven't turned over the ball once.
20:37
I'm knocking on wood here.
20:39
And if we can continue being positive in the turnover margin, I, I just Adon't know how Michigan State sticks around through four quarters against us.
20:51
Cal, what are you thinking?
20:53
I agree with you.
20:55
It's, it's a night game at Notre Dame.
20:57
Our fans are gonna be rowdy.
20:59
I Adon't know exactly what to expect out of Michigan State.
21:03
They lost their their starting quarterback and their best wide receiver in the portal, i'd expect more of a, a lot more of a physical game closer to the Wisconsin one.
21:11
For sure.
21:13
Yeah, I agree.
21:14
I think they'll, they're well-coached, they'll be ready to play, and I agree with Cal, it will be more physical and, I look forward to seeing how our offensive line continues to gel and progress, and hopefully we can be a little bit more dominant, in a showing where we're really controlling the line of scrimmage.
21:30
Do you think Pat Fitzgerald, had the freshmen do any any initiation activities?
21:37
I Adon't get the joke.
21:39
Pat Fitzgerald was the Northwestern coach, and he- Oh.
21:42
I think, I think, I think he was, uh, investigated and cleared.
21:46
I think he was too.
21:47
Yeah.
21:47
I think he actually got a fair amount of money in a wrongful termination lawsuit- Yeah their counselor.
21:53
Well, I think that's right.
21:54
Yeah, yeah.
21:55
All right.
21:56
Let's get some game predictions here.
21:58
elizabeth, what are you thinking?
22:02
I think it is gonna be, 38 to six.
22:06
I think they're gonna have a couple drives, but we're gonna be able to keep them out of the end zone.
22:09
I'm hoping that keeping teams out of the end zone is gonna be a point of pride for this defense, and something that's fun to rally around.
22:16
Hoping that we run the clock quite a bit because we have such a successful run game.
22:21
Also think we'll get a, we'll get a field goal in there.
22:23
I think we'll do something where we are a bit adventurous, and maybe that doesn't turn out, but we've got a good field goal kicker.
22:30
And so that's my prediction, is 38 to six.
22:33
Irish.
22:35
Calvin, do you wanna give us a game prediction?
22:38
I'm gonna go 42 to seven.
22:39
I think they'll get into the end zone once, but not again.
22:43
Let me get 42 to 10.
22:46
42 to 10?
22:47
Yeah.
22:47
Okay.
22:48
Adon't...
22:49
I know what you're gonna do.
22:50
The price is right or is that the- No He's gonna go, like, one point up.
22:56
Yeah.
22:56
Is that what you're- I'm not.
22:57
I'm actually not.
22:58
I'm actually not.
22:59
I'm gonna go 42 to nine.
23:02
I think Michigan State's kicker is gonna have- You did exactly what he said you were gonna do.
23:07
Yes.
23:08
I had 42 to nine in my head before he even said anything.
23:11
But he goes,"You're gonna go one off." And you go,"No, I'm not." And then you go,"42 to nine." He said, he said, he said one higher.
23:16
I didn't say 43 to 10.
23:18
Oh, I got it.
23:19
Okay.
23:19
Excuse me.
23:22
I'm the one point swing.
23:22
42 to nine, three field goals.
23:24
That's what I got.
23:25
All right.
23:26
Awesome.
23:26
Awesome.
23:27
For our next segment we are doing the starting 11.
23:30
Last week full of controversy.
23:33
Some, uh, some wild stuff here.
23:36
I, I think it's still being adjudicated.
23:38
Yeah.
23:39
And so- The deal is if Dad gets a point this week, then I also get a point Oh, that's what we agreed on.
23:46
That's what we agreed on I Adon't know about that That's what William said, and so that's what we agree on No, no, no, no, no So for the rules of Starting 11, just to remind everybody, two of us choose one player on the two deep, and the third person has got 11 questions to try to figure out who that player is.
24:09
And we're keeping track over the course of the season, and we'll figure out who the winner is at the end of the season.
24:17
All right start guessing, boy.
24:21
All right.
24:22
Is this a offensive player?
24:26
No.
24:26
No.
24:27
Is this a defensive player?
24:29
No.
24:29
No.
24:30
Is this a special teams player?
24:32
What do you think?
24:33
If it's not offensive or defensive, what else could it be?
24:36
Give it to him, Cal.
24:37
Give it to him.
24:37
