00:00The one me and you are really going to be waiting for next Friday night in South Bend,

00:06the Irish and the Hoosiers.

00:10That's right.

00:11And I have to look this up.

00:12When was the last time they played each other?

00:14Have they ever met?

00:16And they have to have played, right?

00:18Indiana and Notre Dame has to have played at some point in college football.

00:23I'm going to look it up.

00:24I'm going to look it up while Marcus talks.

00:27So here he is.

00:28You remember the infamous Cignetti line, right?

00:31From when he got hired.

00:32I win.

00:33Go Google me.

00:34We played it here.

00:35We know it well.

00:37Marcus Freeman referencing that as he talks about how good this Indiana team is.

00:41The coach has done a wonderful job to take this program to win 11 games in the Big Ten

00:47and in a Big Ten season and to have this team ready to make a run in the playoffs.

00:54It's a credit to the coach.

00:56I didn't know much about him.

00:58I took a minute and Googled him and looked at some of the things he's done in the past

01:02at his other places.

01:03I mean, he's won everywhere he's been.

01:05So he's done a great job and we expect a great opponent.

01:09I've just briefly started looking at them.

01:11They're a talented team.

01:13I think Notre Dame is better than Indiana.

01:17I think they're at home.

01:19I think it's going to be a hostile environment.

01:21I like the kid Rourke.

01:23I think they have the better quarterback.

01:25I think that Indiana can score.

01:28I think they're going to give Notre Dame a run for their money.

01:31They might very well cover.

01:33If they beat Notre Dame, I'll keel over.

01:36I really will.

01:37I don't think they've ever faced anything this big ever this season at all.

01:44The Ohio State game in Columbus is a lot like it.

01:48Going to Notre Dame Stadium to play the Irish, I mean, it's just brutal.

01:52Especially in a playoff setting.

01:55I don't think it's going to be easy, but I think the kid Rourke is good, man.

01:58He can give them problems.

02:00Believe me, you.

02:01Notre Dame's got a great defense.

02:03We'll see if they can shut this guy down.

02:06Now, Notre Dame, in their history, they are 23-5-1 against Indiana.

02:12But listen to this.

02:14They've only played once since 1958.

02:21They played in 1991 in South Bend.

02:25Irish beat them 49-27 during the Lou Holtz years.

02:28But all these other meetings, they played basically every year in the 20s, 30s and 40s.

02:34The Irish did the Hoosiers.

02:35So no recent history.

02:36That doesn't count.

02:37Same with the pros when we say Cleveland, Detroit in the 50s.

02:38That doesn't count.

02:39We're 60s and above here.

02:40No.

02:41That's it.

02:42So really, they've only played once.

02:511991 in South Bend.

02:52That was the only time the Irish and Indiana have ever faced off.

02:55So this should be fun for Signetti and Marcus Freeman.

02:59And huge for both of them in this game, getting a chance to win a playoff game next Friday

03:04night.

03:05We're going to have a lot of fun with that here on C2C.
