So, how do you think Indiana will do against Notre Dame on a Friday night at Notre Dame
00:08
Stadium in cold South Bend, Indiana, in the first round of the college football playoff?
00:14
Well, one thing that has to happen, Scott, is they have to be more closer to, I shouldn't
00:20
say, they should be closer to perfect.
00:23
No one's perfect, right?
00:25
People are going to make mistakes, but you can't make massive mistakes like they made
00:29
against Ohio State.
00:30
They did not get their butt kicked from scrimmage.
00:33
They made two massive mistakes, a blocked punt and a punt return for touchdown that
00:38
made it a one-sided Ohio State victory at the horseshoe.
00:42
I think Ohio State would have won without those, but it wouldn't have been the lopsided
00:46
game that it was.
00:48
So they have to be closer to perfect, and they'll have to have better pass protection
00:52
as well.
00:53
That was a serious problem in that Ohio State game, their first big-time game.
00:59
They really did not protect the quarterback well enough, and they weren't able to get
01:03
any offense going as a result.
01:06
They'll have to defend the run.
01:07
Notre Dame is phenomenal in the run game.
01:10
At least they were against the schedule they played.
01:14
Indiana's going to have to prove they can stop the run.
01:17
I think they can at least hang in there.
01:19
The fact it's a road game is going to make it really difficult for them, but I think
01:23
they can hang in there and make it a contest.
01:26
Do you think the winner of that game can beat Georgia because they don't have a quarterback
01:31
now?
01:32
I am not sold at all on the kid, Stockton, that played, the Gunner kid.
01:39
Everyone thought he did a good job.
01:42
That pick late in the game, he should have lost the game.
01:44
I don't think, Georgia has a quarterback.
01:46
Well, I'll be honest with you, I wasn't sold on Carson Beck's 2024 season either.
01:52
I thought that he was an issue for them all the way through the year.
01:55
Now, he was, by that point in the season, you know what you got from him on most occasions,
02:00
which frankly wasn't championship level.
02:03
It may have been SEC championship level, it wasn't national championship level.
02:08
So I don't think that his absence is the decisive factor for Georgia.
02:13
They have to be better all the way around.
02:15
I think both teams can beat Georgia, either Indiana or Notre Dame.
02:22
Georgia's a fine football team, but they're not the powerhouse that they were the last
02:25
couple of years.
02:26
Who do you think, just off the top of your head, is going to win it all?
02:31
I think if Ohio State can get its head in the game after the loss to Michigan, I always
02:37
thought they were the best team.
02:38
We'll see.
02:39
Oh, God.
02:40
Oh.
02:41
Oh, they just ruined my day, this guy, DeCourcy.
02:45
Everything was going great, I woke up in a good mood.
