00:00And I did not switch off Indiana, so I took my L there against Notre Dame. I thought they

00:09would keep it a little bit close, but it wasn't close really. 27 to 17. I guess I shouldn't

00:15have been surprised. I mean, we talked about this last week on the show. I thought Notre

00:18Dame would win and they did. I think they're at the end of the line now, though. I do think

00:21that they're going to lose into Georgia in the next game, but give them credit because

00:25I think, Bill, this was the one game where I don't think they would have covered had

00:30they not gotten that 98-yard touchdown right at the beginning of the game.

00:34That was the game right there. That sequence turned the entire game. Curtis Work throws

00:40an interception to Xavier Watts at the goal line. Bang. Notre Dame, 98-yard touchdown.

00:46And that really flipped any momentum the Indiana Hoosiers ever had, and they never retained.

00:51I thought Notre Dame's defense dominated the game. The thing the Irish have that goes in

00:56their favor is they have three running backs that average six yards per carry. Jadarion

00:59Price, Jeremiah Love, and Aeneas Williams was more active in the game plan there. And

01:04then you have a running quarterback in Riley Leonard on top of it. So they're going to

01:09present Georgia some issues. And if I'm Notre Dame, I'm ripping a few pages out of that

01:13Georgia Tech playbook that they used with Haynes King to try to give the Bulldogs some

01:16problems in the next round.
