00:00
Yeah, listen, I think that they're up against, they're like a pro team.
00:05
They're so loaded.
00:06
I think their receivers are unstoppable.
00:08
I think the quarterback's got an easy job when you have guys that good.
00:12
It's not that hard to find them open and throw those passes when you're a big time quarterback
00:17
at Ohio State.
00:18
You can say whatever you want about Howard, he knows how to get them the ball.
00:21
And then they got a great running attack.
00:24
There's no doubt they're enormous.
00:25
Their defense is physical as an NFL team.
00:27
Like they really hit.
00:29
But you know, Notre Dame has that kind of defense too.
00:31
So I think, and Notre Dame has that kind of running game too.
00:34
So let's see if they can, I think the key to the game is them stopping Smith and Ibuka.
00:40
Like if they can do that, you know, Texas did it for, you know, for the most part, the
00:45
whole game, they were at the one yard line.
00:47
They had them right where they wanted them and they let it slip through their fingers.
00:51
They did.
00:52
I wonder if Notre Dame have the overall sort of team speed to keep up in the same way.
00:57
And also a little bit concerned about how State will be a little bit better this time.
01:01
We've got time to get to that game, obviously, but I'm just stating, I think, you know, Notre
01:05
Dame are a tough spot.
01:07
From a betting perspective, though, everything you said is true.
01:09
It feels like this game is going to be a smash mouth under type of game, right?
01:13
But we thought the same thing about Notre Dame and Penn State and it ended up opening
01:16
up in the fourth quarter.
01:18
It's a good game.
01:19
Notre Dame belonged to be there.
01:20
And then you throw in the fact that Ryan Day called out Lou Holtz before.
01:25
We do have a little bit of, you know, we do have a little bit of a rivalry here.
01:29
Things come full circle.
01:30
But I'm not overly joyed that it's these two teams.
01:32
What did he say about Lou Holtz?
01:35
Lou Holtz called them soft.
01:38
Lou Holtz called them soft before.
01:40
Like not-
01:41
That's not a good call.
01:43
Not like now, not in the past couple of weeks.
01:49
You know, I remember it was after a football game and, you know, Ryan Day said, oh, what
01:53
are you going to say now, Lou?
01:54
You still going to say we're soft?
01:56
What the hell do you know?
01:57
And people kind of called Ryan Day out for calling out an old man and Lou Holtz who was
02:01
just giving an opinion on a football team.
02:03
But Lou didn't take it like very well.
02:05
Ryan Day admitted they've never spoken since.
02:08
Like there's been no, hey, listen, that was all on TV.
02:11
Let's take it back.
02:12
Let's dial it down a notch.
02:13
No, it's for real.
02:14
No, I think that Ryan Day should take a look at what Lou Holtz accomplished in his career
02:19
of which Ryan Day has accomplished nothing short of.
02:22
At least, yeah, at least lose one, right?
02:24
So at least, well, you imagine Day's attitude, bro, once he wins, that's, that's going to
02:28
be, but whatever.
02:29
The plus side of this-
02:30
It's going to be even worse.
02:31
Yeah, yeah.
02:32
The plus side of this is they still lost to Michigan and it'll still bother them.
02:36
Even though they won the championship.
02:38
Even though they won the, you know what, Scott, even though they won the championship, Jack
02:41
Sawyer will be thinking, man, I was here four years.
02:43
I never beat them.
02:45
Ryan Day, I guarantee you guys, Ryan Day is going to get the trophy.
02:48
He's going to lift the trophy up.
02:50
He's going to look up.
02:51
He's going to have about two seconds of joy and he's going to think, oh God, I better
02:55
beat Michigan and Ann Arbor next year.
02:57
You know it, Scott.
