In the latest segment on WSBT Sportsbeat with Darin Pritchett and Sean Stires, we focus entirely on the Notre Dame vs. Clemson matchup. There was a lot of great discussion about where Notre Dame is and what it must do to pull off the upset.

1:01 - We begin the show talking about if Notre Dame has closed the gap enough with Clemson since 2018 to win on Saturday.

3:02 - Sean asks me about the shift in messaging from Brian Kelly in recent weeks.

4:40 - Darin asks about the ability of the pass rush to disrupt freshman quarterback D.J. Uiagalelei. I discuss that, but also go into other ways Notre Dame can disrupt the young QB without pressuring.

6:45 - The discussion turns to the matchup challenge that running back Travis Etienne presents a defense.

9:14 - Darin asks about how the Clemson secondary will defend Notre Dame, and how the Irish must respond to it.

10:25 - Sean asks if the high use of C'Bo Flemister last week was about lightening the workload of Chris Tyree heading into the Clemson matchup.

12:40 - Darin asks about the "business plans" that Brian Kelly talked about at Clemson and Notre Dame, and why the plan at Clemson is better.

15:37 - Sean asks what quarterback Ian Book must do, that he's capable of doing, to give Notre Dame a chance to win.

17:34 - We talk about what to look for early in the game to know if Notre Dame has a chance to win this game.

18:48 - We then talk about what would be a concern early in the game.
