00:04 >> So Ryan, you talked about the lack of size, but

00:08 here's where I'll give props to outling out.

00:11 [BLANK_AUDIO]

00:13 >> Ron English.

00:14 >> He wants to say Alex English.

00:15 This is a basketball from the 1980s.

00:18 And then he's co defensive coordinator.

00:20 Let me just find the name of the other guy that is there.

00:24 The other co coordinator it is, of course, they don't have it listed on Wikipedia.

00:28 On Wikipedia, this is the most like Jeff Brom thing ever.

00:31 On Wikipedia, they only have the off, they have Brom and

00:33 then the offensive coach listed.

00:35 So like if that's not like the most, I'm like, hey guys,

00:38 they're actually playing a little bit defense this year.

00:40 But the other D coordinator is Mark Hagan, who is their defensive line coach.

00:45 But Ron English is running the defense right now.

00:48 He should be a name Notre Dame fans are familiar with.

00:50 He was at Michigan for a while back in the day in some of those games.

00:54 So he plays to it well, Ryan.

00:57 I think this is, he's walking in a situation where the personnel actually fits

01:02 what he likes to do, in my opinion.

01:04 He likes to be aggressive.

01:05 He likes to attack.

01:06 He likes to let guys fall, fly around.

01:08 I think at times Ron English's defense can be very, very big play prone.

01:14 And doesn't always necessarily, yeah, doesn't always have the most discipline.

01:20 But he's had some success.

01:23 I mean, he was with Brom for two years at Louisville.

01:26 I mean, excuse me, at Purdue.

01:28 They were together there.

01:29 So he's a guy that Jeff Brom brought with him from Purdue.

01:33 And what's funny is, Ryan, when you look at, they weren't great on defense last

01:38 year, but Ron English's first year at Purdue, they were pretty good on defense.

01:41 >> Thank you.
