00:16everybody's nervous as a loss almost surely knocks them out
00:21hey listen this game ain't nothing but a whole bunch of one-on-ones and that's what we got to
00:28make sure we do every coach every player has a job to do on this play and it's your job to get that
00:36job done we owe it to the people in this room you have a job to do on that play the only thing they
00:43got is what we give them we give them the touchdown because we don't play with the proper technique
00:48how do you stop you just do your job with the proper technique because you're so locked in on
00:54this moment give your job young
00:57what's the game yeah it's good it's crazy we
01:24you know it's like that close to just blow out again you know that's a good thing you can win
01:3320 to 7 so there's so much more yeah that's a team that's helping how do you feel physically good
01:39good nothing nothing the same as the last two weeks like I didn't really get hit hit a bunch
01:45yeah sort of uh I mean I ran a little bit more but like other than that body feels great
01:52you're ready for NC State now yeah
01:54that's good the difference in last year's team and this year's team like in coach
02:0210 said in the staff meeting yesterday like you guys found a way and push through uh we got over the
02:07hump or last year we just kind of stayed stagnant um this year you guys found a way to get it done
02:11we know there's more out there for us we know there's a lot more room to improve and there's
02:18answers out there that we have to find and and put them to work and and and elevate we have to use
02:25that as we go into this week of preparation this is resolves over time right that red line right
02:31there is what we think should happen right we put a little bit of work in we should see an improvement
02:36and then we put more improvement improvement a steady improvement is what we should see
02:40without question that's what we should see because if I don't see that then it's not worth doing
02:45we got another opponent ahead of us and you know be another great challenge so
02:49we got to continue to prepare the right way and uh if we do that Saturdays will take care of itself
02:56you know going into this week for NC State we're going to prepare just like any team
03:15our preparation doesn't change based on our opponent we pride ourselves in not beating
03:20ourself so that's the things we're going to work on to continue to improve and not try to make it
03:25bigger than what it is you know it's another game at home which is a huge huge deal for us
03:30take a lot of pride in defending our house and defending our home at the stadium
03:33good work good work good work the biggest thing for us is to not get complacent with the last two
03:39weeks we've won three in a row but uh everybody in the locker room still hungry and ready to get
03:43after each and every week we got to keep improving the way we practice you know what I mean and I'm
03:48talking big picture like every play you got to be locked in but you got to mentally and physically
03:52ready to go Saturday's coming we understand it but but we can't achieve team glory right now we got to
03:58do the work and prepare the way that it gives us an opportunity to achieve what we want on Saturday
04:03everybody understand that we got to practice on a Tuesday which we just finished up we got to do what
04:08we got to do after practice to recover fuel okay sleep you study nobody feels bad that's what we
04:14chose this is you chose as players is what we chose nobody feels bad but there's things you got to do
04:20so you got to continue to do the things that help you be able to come out here and prepare the right
04:26what let's go get a break get a break get a break get a break get a break
04:27TDS I do I do TDS
04:30I do I do yeah yeah yeah when I was younger I wasn't really that big on football yet
04:52as I got older I definitely became more a fan of Notre Dame it was because my dad
05:01Brian is a huge individual 277 he's got arms as big as my legs
05:08I always knew he played football
05:13you just have kids coming up to you finding out who your dad is and it's like
05:20wait your dad is blah blah blah blah Saturdays before Notre Dame football
05:25Notre Dame has always been a special place to me
05:29just to be back here in this capacity of a parent
05:37everybody adopts and makes it feel like your family it feels like home
05:45ladies and gentlemen presenting Bryant Young for enshrinement into the pro football hall of fame
05:53I proudly wore gold throughout my career I'll cherish this jacket for the rest of my life
06:01today for me is about faith football and family from my pain I found purpose
06:08I entered the hall as a member of its 22
06:1320 22 22
06:1922
06:21it was Kobe's favorite number
06:25we ran into these strange people selling lemonade in the area
06:32do you want some?
06:35Kobe was a great older brother super passionate about everything
06:39he was the goofy guy in the room like he brought a smile to all our faces
06:43there were some moments where we butted heads but
06:47majority of the time it was very like him telling me what I needed to be successful
06:52I know it's like kind of hard to understand like we're just little kids
06:55Bryce as a younger brother looking up to his older brother
06:59he respected him highly he always wanted to
07:03kind of be around him and fit in and just kind of do what he was doing
07:07Kobe was very passionate about football
07:12that was his thing and he was doing anything he could to get better every day
07:19I think he loved the camaraderie of the sport
07:23and just the competitive nature that it had to it
07:27and that brought always brought the best out of him
07:29the first time that we realized that something was wrong with Kobe
07:37was the day that he was supposed to leave with his middle school class
07:42to go to this retreat that they did at the beginning of school year
07:45but he was like dad I got a headache
07:49my head hurts really really bad
07:51and so it was hurting bad enough where we kept him back from going on this three day retreat
08:00with his class that we took him to the pediatrician
08:04she wanted him to get a CT scan
08:07she called my wife and basically was like
08:15Kobe has a mask on his brain
08:17we need to get him admitted to the hospital to run further tests
08:21and so we discovered that he had cancer
08:27and that was probably the most devastating news that I had heard ever in my life
08:33I remember they went to the doctor
08:38they came home I hear the car pull up
08:41and I see Kobe jump out the car
08:43and he's like
08:44he's like kind of hysterical
08:46tears running down his cheek
08:48my parents come to the house
08:50they sit us all down
08:51and they're like yeah
08:51Kobe has a brain tumor
08:53no way this is real
08:56like I was only what eight or nine
08:57but I was like no way this is real
09:01it's like worse than a curse word
09:05I would rather somebody curse me out
09:07than hear the word that your kid has cancer
09:09because as a parent
09:11it was one thing that I could not protect my kids from as a father
09:17and I felt helpless
09:18the thought of him passing away never crossed my mind
09:22oh he's going to make it through this
09:24like we're going to get through this
09:25we're going to go back to normal
09:27Kobe initial response to the news that he had cancer was distraught
09:33he was emotional
09:34he was afraid
09:36you know the thought of him dying came up
09:39he dealt with it
09:40had a day of just you know feeling it or two or three
09:44and then it was like okay what do we got to do
09:47when the doctor advised him not to play football again
09:53the news of that crushed him
09:56he cried like a baby
09:57because he couldn't play football again
10:00like that probably hurt him more than actually having cancer
10:06not being able to play football
10:07knowing that his dreams were taken away from him in that way
10:12less than two weeks post-op from having a brain surgery
10:17he was back in school
10:18coach invited him to come out
10:22and be a part of the team running out of the tunnel
10:25it was Friday Night Lights
10:27Kobe was excited
10:28ladies and gentlemen
10:31in 2014
10:33Charlotte Christian
10:34that one was super cool
10:38Kobe led the team out
10:41you just see his big smile
10:44everybody cheering him on
10:46and it was his moment to be back on the field in this capacity
10:52that gave him a lot of hope
10:54I think that lifted his spirits a lot
10:55Kobe was a very strong individual
11:00not only physically but mentally
11:01you never knew when he was having a bad day
11:04because he was always the brightest light in the room
11:08but you can only take so much you know
11:10he was in remission for a couple months
11:15and then they found it again going down his spine
11:18and that's when things really took a turn for the worst
11:20I knew how much pain he was going through
11:24every day
11:26like he couldn't talk anymore
11:29like he wasn't talking
11:31and that was very hard
11:33but every once in a while
11:35he would walk in
11:35and he would just smile at you
11:37and he knew
11:38he was thinking about you
11:40we just wanted him to be comfortable
11:44and not suffer anymore
11:46because
11:48I felt like he had fought
11:52a really tough battle
11:53as a young 15 year old kid
11:57doing the very best he could
11:59he looked at it square in the eyes
12:02and he faced it head on
12:04and we loved on him
12:06to the very
12:07very very end
12:08bitter end
12:09the date October 11
12:11is special to our family
12:13and
12:14is when
12:15Kobe transitioned to heaven
12:17that was really hard
12:21I wasn't ever going to
12:23see him smile
12:24or hear him laugh
12:25or make me laugh
12:26again
12:27I lost my big brother
12:29that was very hard
12:31to cope with
12:32toward the end
12:34of Kobe's life
12:35Kobe leaves a message
12:37to Bryce
12:37and he says something
12:39to the fact
12:40that he
12:40Bryce would be able
12:42to write
12:42his own ticket
12:44and go to any college
12:45he wants to
12:46because he's
12:47he's a bright kid
12:48he saw the best
12:51in Bryce
12:51he championed Bryce
12:53here comes the pressure
12:55he goes down
12:57Bryce Young
12:58with a sack
12:59I tell Bryce a lot
13:03I say I could see
13:04Kobe
13:05and the big smile
13:07on his face
13:08Kobe just loved sports
13:11he loved Notre Dame
13:12he was a huge
13:12Notre Dame fan
13:13and he would be cheering
13:16Bryce on
13:17now I have his love
13:19for the game
13:19so
13:20I've kind of
13:21taken his mission
13:22and my mission
13:22to combine it

14:57of the season

15:44who we say we are
15:45as a defensive front
15:46and
15:47it's only getting better
15:48every week
15:48that line
15:50starting to make
15:51things happen here

15:52couple weeks

15:56go to work
15:56offensively

16:31another big pick up
16:32for Will Pauling
16:33pistol set again
16:36with Love as the back
16:38my mindset going to
16:39every game
16:40offensively
16:40it's just to
16:41go out there
16:42attacking them
16:43in one game
16:43Carr takes the snap
16:45gives it to Love
16:45puts his head down

16:47he's in
16:48go score
16:49touchdown
16:50Notre Dame
16:51Jeremiah Love
16:53opens it up
16:54out of way
16:57to get it in there
16:58he got a lot of confidence
16:59in handing the ball
17:00to Jeremiah Love
17:01at any point
17:01any yard line
17:03on the field
17:03because you know
17:04he protects the football
17:05and he runs hard
17:06and so
17:07there's a lot of confidence
17:08built in Jeremiah Love
17:10we came out swinging
17:15let's go D
17:16let's go
17:18let's go D
17:19let's go
17:21came aggressive
17:22I think it was just
17:23we got too relaxed
17:24Notre Dame
17:26trying to provide
17:27some pressure
17:28the ball is going
17:31deep down
17:31field with plenty
17:32of time
17:32and it's complete
17:33and that is
17:34Terrell Anderson
17:35for the touchdown
17:3745 yards
17:39they did an out and up
17:42and took a shot
17:43on the young freshman
17:43and explosive plays
17:45will happen
17:45we don't love it
17:46but they went on
17:46and scored
17:47whatever coaching points
17:52we have to make
17:53let's make them
17:54we have to clean it up
17:55man
17:56we just become
17:57undisciplined
17:58and then we got to
17:59refocus and win
18:00the next play
18:01Notre Dame
18:02is going for it
18:03on fourth down
18:04and three
18:05the ball
18:06at the eight
18:07you know
18:09I think a lot
18:09comes down
18:09to conviction
18:10that we'll get it
18:11convert it
18:12and then
18:13analytics plays
18:14into a lot
18:15of my decision
18:15making
18:16in those
18:17situations
18:18and now that's
18:31two red zone trips
18:32in which they're
18:33empty today
18:34both days
18:35let's go
18:36Bayley takes the snap

18:46Marcus Freeman
18:47uses his final timeout
18:49Notre Dame's going to
18:50get the ball back
18:51and this is a big one
18:52final play most likely

27:17tell you is
27:17I'm so very
27:20fortunate to be
27:21part of this
27:21Notre Dame
27:22group
27:22because we
27:23know how to
27:24get along
27:24with each
27:24other
27:24we love
27:25each other
27:25that is
27:26the one
27:27I think
27:28truth about
27:29college football
27:29at the end
27:30of the day
27:30Notre Dame
27:31is going to
27:31be there
27:32Notre Dame
27:33and Southern
27:33Cal
27:34the most
27:34spectacular
27:35of all
27:36the intersectional
27:37series
27:37in the realm
27:38of collegiate
27:39football
27:39so many great
27:40rivals
27:41but nobody
27:42comes to mind
27:42more
27:43and I love
27:43to see the
27:44Irish beat
27:45as USC
27:45so could you
27:46share maybe
27:47any memorable
27:47stories about
27:48the atmosphere
27:49the Trojan horse
27:50is coming out
27:51of the field
27:52Notre Dame
27:52crushes USC
27:5330 to nothing
27:54they're a great
27:57team
27:57you know
27:57you can't
27:58have a great
27:59rivalry
27:59without a great
28:00rival
28:00so I don't
28:02dislike
28:02Southern Cal
28:03because they've
28:04given us so
28:04many opportunities
28:05to have a great
28:06rivalry
28:06and I actually
28:07hope they
28:08generally win
28:08I don't want
28:09them to lose
28:10to a crummy
28:10team
28:10I just want
28:11them to lose
28:11to us
28:12USC Notre Dame
28:19is one of the
28:20biggest national
28:20rivalries in
28:21college football
28:22the amount
28:23of history
28:24and success
28:25that both
28:26of these teams
28:26have
28:27is part of
28:28the reason
28:28it means so
28:29much to beat
28:30each other
28:30Southern Cal
28:32Notre Dame
28:32rivalry
28:33throughout the
28:33years
28:34has just been
28:34an unbelievable
28:35football game
28:35I think it's
28:36up on top
28:37of all the
28:37rivalries
28:38in the country
28:38and you know
28:40of course
28:40year in and
28:41year out
28:41it's a hard
28:42inning contest
28:42it's just
28:43a great
28:43football game
28:44you've had
28:49Heisman
28:49trophy campaigns
28:51national
28:52championship
28:52hopes
28:53you've had
28:53these things
28:53dashed
28:54in that
28:55game
28:55but ultimately
28:57these are
28:58programs that
28:58are iconic
28:59they're
29:00bluebloods
29:00everyone knows
29:02them
29:02so even if
29:03you're not
29:03a fan of
29:04either of
29:04these teams
29:05you've got
29:05strong feelings
29:06about USC
29:06or Notre Dame
29:07probably the
29:09probably the
29:09moment that
29:10hit me harder
29:12than any
29:12time
29:13was actually
29:14on a Friday
29:15night pep
29:16rally
29:16call this one
29:20the game of
29:20the millennium
29:21number nine
29:21Notre Dame
29:22against number
29:23one USC
29:23and they
29:31and they decided
29:31that they were
29:32going to have
29:32a pep rally
29:33not in the
29:34joy center
29:35where they
29:35normally did
29:36but they were
29:37going to have
29:38it in the
29:38stadium
29:38I go you
29:45have got to
29:46be kidding
29:46me
29:47we're in front
29:48of 45,000
29:49in a Friday
29:50night to get
29:51ready for the
29:52biggest game of
29:52the season
29:53between at this
29:54point Notre Dame
29:54and USC
29:55in the 10 years
29:56I've been on
29:56the show
29:56I've never seen
29:57build up
29:58and anticipation
29:59for a game
30:00like this
30:00it was nuts
30:02for a pep rally
30:03I remember
30:06Rudy being
30:07out there
30:08people were
30:15absolutely
30:16off the chain
30:17they were nuts
30:18you would have
30:18thought the game
30:19was being played
30:20people were that
30:27fired up about
30:28the possibility
30:29that maybe
30:29Notre Dame
30:30football is back
30:31the build up
30:32has been tremendous
30:33and the moment
30:34is here
30:34so just the last
30:37couple minutes
30:38of that game
30:38you could write
30:39a book about
30:40Quinn
30:41the short drop
30:42he's going to
30:42take it
30:43Quinn and
30:44Brady Quinn
30:44stop
30:45touchdown
30:46Brady Quinn
30:50leads Notre Dame
30:51down the field
30:52but then USC
30:53faced a fourth
30:54and long
30:55Reiner on fourth
30:56down in the pocket
30:57goes down the
30:58sideline
30:58and got all
31:05the way down
31:06inside the
31:07Notre Dame
31:0710 yard line
31:09Matt Leiner
31:10rolling to his
31:12left
31:12he's going to
31:13tuck it under
31:13he is
31:15stopped
31:16short
31:17the clock's
31:19still running
31:19can you get out
31:21of bounds
31:22time run down
31:22the clock says
31:23zero
31:23and the students
31:31stormed the field
31:32and it was like
31:34holy cow
31:35they beat this
31:36invincible USC team
31:39ball comes out
31:40ball comes out
31:42so that the clock
31:43should have stopped
31:43the game wasn't over
31:45and they had to get
31:46all the students
31:47back off the field
31:48Matt Leiner
31:51was lined up
31:52and Reggie Bush
31:53was in the backfield
31:54Leiner
31:56going to try to
31:57sneak it ahead
31:58he got in
31:59touchdown
32:00SC
32:01Reggie Bush
32:03helps push him
32:04into the end zone
32:05for the touchdown
32:06back then
32:07that was illegal
32:09you weren't allowed
32:10to push the runner
32:10now everybody does it
32:11people thought that
32:13that should have been
32:14a penalty
32:15that that shouldn't
32:16have counted
32:16I mean one of the
32:18best games I've ever
32:19seen in my life
32:20one thing for sure
32:22we have
32:23awakened the echoes
32:25today
32:26we asked you in the
32:38summer about
32:38the state of
32:39the series with USC
32:40so just ask you again
32:41since this game week
32:42what are your thoughts
32:44on kind of where that
32:45is right now
32:45my opinion is very
32:49clear let's continue
32:50this thing
32:50the head coach of
32:53this football program
32:54desires to continue
32:56this rivalry
32:56it's not
32:59just because
33:00I'm at Notre Dame
33:02the rivalry between
33:04Notre Dame and USC
33:05is a great rivalry
33:07one of the best
33:08and I think it's great
33:09for college football
33:10and the two
33:12institutions to continue
33:13this rivalry
33:13what a game
33:16setting up in
33:17South Bend
33:18Indiana
33:18this Saturday night
33:20USC Notre Dame
33:21how big is this
33:22college football
33:24playoff fate
33:25that's what's on the line
33:26and if this is the
33:28last time these two
33:29play in Notre Dame
33:31Stadium
33:31I'm gonna riot
33:33this is the last game
33:35under contract
33:36at Notre Dame
33:37there's one more
33:38next year
33:39in Los Angeles
33:40and then there is
33:42no contract
33:43the future of the
33:44USC Notre Dame
33:45rivalry is
33:46uncertain
33:46Notre Dame wants to
33:49challenge itself
33:50in its schedule
33:51wants to play
33:51rivals
33:52and USC
33:54seems more hesitant
33:55about moving this
33:56forward
33:57not knowing what the
33:58college football
33:58playoff format looks like
34:00dealing with all of the
34:01additional travel
34:02and new opponents
34:03that USC has
34:04as a member of the
34:05Big Ten
34:06I think at the end
34:07of the day
34:07strap it up
34:08and go play
34:09and give fans
34:10the best matchups
34:12where the best teams
34:13are playing each other
34:14consistently
34:15I want those teams
34:16to keep playing
34:17because a great
34:18transcontinental rivalry
34:20as Notre Dame
34:21and USC have
34:23that's pretty rare
34:24in college football
34:24here we go
34:25considering the
