Episode 9: Recapping The Defensive Masterclass Against UNC
The Irish are a win over hapless Syracuse away from an undefeated season after an impressive win against No. 17 North Carolina. (1:00) Cooper and Jack start by discussing Clark Lea's shutdown of the UNC rushing game, and how that put Sam Howell in a more difficult position. (3:15) They then get into UNC's passing game, and how the Irish front four made Howell's job impossible after the first two drives. (9:10) The pair move onto Ian Book and the Irish offense, giving credit to Javon McKinley and asking if there is even a role for Tommy Tremble in the passing game anymore. (15:38) They then talk about Kyren Williams and how running him into loaded boxes creates games like this one where Williams runs effectively but run plays remain inefficient.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHT: (4:25) Cooper wonders if it's fair to call Sam Howell a future first overall pick as Jack reminds him that label was once applied to Irish legend DeShone Kizer.
