After a cathartic and season-defining win in Marcus Freeman's first year last week versus Clemson, the Irish slid back and narrowly avoided an upset to Navy, winning 35-32. Pete and Matt zero in on the Irish's inconsistent play and their inclination to perform to the level of their competition. The duo also discusses the rushing game's lack of production, and what Freeman can do to help elevate his team against programs of lesser talent.
