00:00
Let's go to this one first, because I think this one's maybe, I don't know, getting overlooked.
00:07
I think Clemson, Georgia is getting a lot of the gas, rightfully so, whatever.
00:11
Notre Dame heads into Kyle Field and College Station on Saturday night to kick off Marcus
00:17
Freeman's season.
00:18
A very important one, as me and you have discussed a lot, Joe, Freeman's got to make the playoffs
00:22
now.
00:23
12 teams, I thought, very unimpressive last year.
00:26
We had Hartman, didn't really let him drive the car the way that he should.
00:30
I'm nervous he's going to do the same thing with Riley Leonard here now, coming over from
00:33
Duke.
00:34
But they have a big opportunity on the road here, Joe, to get their season off in a big
00:38
way.
00:39
I might shock you.
00:40
I'm actually shocked that Texas A&M is two and a half point, three point favorites heading
00:45
into this matchup.
00:46
Not a knock on Mike Elko, think he's a very good defensive-minded coach.
00:50
I just do not buy in to Connor Wedman as being the second coming of Johnny Manziel.
00:56
The kid's inconsistent.
00:57
Struggled with Auburn last year.
00:59
He was hurt.
01:00
I think this offense is going to be a little inconsistent with playmakers moving on.
01:04
And I'll say this about Marcus Freeman.
01:06
Last two years, say what you will, ten and four straight up, Carver.
01:10
They played very well on the road, and the mobility of Riley Leonard, to me, is the difference
01:15
going on the road in College Station.
01:17
I don't care.
01:18
Plus the two and a half?
01:19
Outright!
01:20
I said it, not you!
01:21
Outright!
01:22
Notre Dame over Texas A&M.
01:24
I think A&M is gutless.
01:25
Yeah, that's got me nervous now that you're on Notre Dame.
01:29
That's got me very nervous that you're backing them, because usually you go after them.
01:33
You try to gas me up.
01:34
I don't go after them!
01:35
Not true!
01:36
Not true!
01:37
You go after them.
01:38
I'll say that.
01:39
Here's the thing.
01:40
Eight and a half win total, we're anointing Mike Elko as like it's the second coming of
01:44
Nick Saban.
01:45
Eight and a half win total?
01:46
You've got to be kidding me.
01:47
The best season Jimbo Fisher had was nine and one during the COVID year, when Kellen
01:51
Mahn beat North Carolina.
01:54
Give me a break.
01:55
They couldn't win under someone.
01:56
They couldn't win under R.C.
01:57
Slocum or Jackie Sherrill or Mike Sherman.
01:59
You want me to keep going on and on and on?
02:02
I mean, come on now.
02:03
Jimbo couldn't get it done either.
02:05
Mike Elko in year one is going to get it done.
02:07
Get real!
