Podcast: Instant Reaction — Notre Dame defeats Florida State 42-26

Sports Editor Hayden Adams and Sports Writer Aidan Thomas get together for a late night session of The Observer sports podcast, the Basement Breakdown, to talk Notre Dame’s win over Florida State as well as an action-packed day of college football and what it all means for Notre Dame’s ACC Championship and College Football Playoff prospects, including:

  • No. 1 Clemson maintains ACC supremacy with a statement win over No. 7 Miami
  • Pitt’s offense continues to hold them back against Boston College
  • Boston College’s offensive line isn’t doing Phil Jurkovec any favors
  • Louisville’s defense surrendered 46 points to Georgia Tech ... let that sink in
  • Duke picks up its first win of the season over Syracuse
  • No. 8 UNC’s offense was clicking on all cylinders against No. 19 Virginia Tech
Give it a listen in the player below or on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Breaker and RadioPublic.
