The Irish have taken their first loss in the Shake Down The Numbers Era (which is what history will call this time period someday) in ugly fashion against Clemson. While it appeared the Irish did not have the talent to keep up with the Tigers, Jack and Cooper believe Notre Dame could have at least put up a far tougher fight with a better game plan. (1:21) The pair discuss Clemson putting the ball in Trevor Lawrence's hands and using play action to pull Irish defenders off the line of scrimmage. (9:33) They then contrast this with Notre Dame's ball control strategy that left Ian Book without a fair chance. (18:27) They finish up by breaking down the lessons the coaching staff need to learn before the Alabama game.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHT: (9:42) Cooper has a message for those who have accused him of advocating for a "Madden Offense" that would not work in real life.
