Blue & Gold's Patrick Engel jumps on the show to start the episode, helping me break down the Fighting Irish. Topics include the following:

*What can be made of Notre Dame's 3-0 start, where it could have very well been a 1-2 mark heading into Saturday's matchup?

*Has quarterback Jack Coan carried Brian Kelly's offense to this point with his play?

*What can be made of the defense's performance so far?

*Who could be the X-Factor for Notre Dame this week?

*What's one thing that could change the complexion of the contest?

After paying the bills with ads, I give my three keys to the game, the X-Factor from Wisconsin's side, and a game prediction.
