need Howard cross ... looks like KVA is out we will miss him as well IU is a legit team the coach is cocky but he has done an awesome job. Denbrock and Golden will have both sides ready but this will be a very tough opponent
I live in Indiana and IU football fans have come out of thin air. My close friends and parents are IU fans. They believe they have the best football team in the state. I’m glad Notre Dame got this first round matchup. Let’s go dominate IU and prove them wrong.
How bout you show respect and chill with the “bandwagon” comments. If you had a stretch of failure like IU, your fan base wouldn’t be much for a bit ether. Get real
It’s funny that you say that. Most of my friends that are ND fans stopped watching ND when they lost to NIU. Only after they beat army and playoff talks happened did they care
Thanks for the cast guys! Always fun and look forward to the weather reports next week. I do have a two points play for you though... 1) With regard to ND season tickets and who holds them: you don't have to be an alumnus to have them, and different groups of people get access to them in different ways. In fact, I can tell you (because I can name an instance) that at least some sometimes-IU fans hold them, and more than just a few can get at them. Even in my own personal case, I went to ND, but my wife went to IU (!) so we have a common-enough split, I would imagine, but... Parents, Students, Associations, clubs, donors, employees, staff and -tbh some truly odd cases can get access to seasons tickets regardless of where or if they went to school. How the 'other tickets' come about to be available - (shrug) we can only hope they got it right after the last OSU game. 2) I suppose a certain amount of arrogance and a perception of your own self worth being inflated are necessary for the head games it takes to be an upper tier P4 Head Coach. Like Karl Urban says about Chris Pine in Star Trek, 'If you're going to ride in the Kentucky Derby, you don't leave your prize stallion in the stable'. Which of the collection of personalities that 'play Head Coach' of each of the 12 contestants in this playoff are 1) The most _overtly_ egotistical (Curt Cignetti is my pick); 2) Most humble (if this is even possible as an attribute), 3) Most annoying (I can't be sure whether it is Sweeny or Dillingham -but I do live in UofA country, so that that might make me...partisan) 4) Most Twitchy (my pick is Freeman, since only a madman chooses a fake punt on his own 26 against USC with the season on the line). Go Irish!
The way Luke describes IU fans is how much of the world thinks of ND fans. That being said, IU fans really didn’t have anything to be excited about in years so I fully expected this reaction to their season. My wife and I both went to IU but are diehard ND fans and will be rooting for ND.
I went to Clemson, ACC , but also like Big 10 ball, sent an SAT score to Purdue, Hoos fans have boycotted their football games but appreciated the halftime tailgating , their circus. Good state intramural game. Go Hoos
Against Georgia- we need some creative schemes and plays to make the difference this time. some real thoughtful strategies - a couple trick plays- but supremely disguised. Very carefully strategized. Not just the same old stuff. If we strategize smart- we can win it all!
The QB Maiava came from UNLV.. it’s not like he was an elite prospect.. USC lost their top RB and they still dropped 600 yards there’s definitely a concern lol Also the OC/QB coach is sticking with IU for the remainder of the season Cig said
Ok. But, if we want to focus on "elite prospects," let's not forget that Maiava BEAT OUT a highly touted QB prospect in Miller Moss. Moss was the #76 player nationally per 247 composite rankings. Maiava took that job away from him.
I see Notre Dame winning a close game against Indiana. After that I don't like the matchup against G eorgia. I watched Georgia repeatedly stuff the run when they played Texas and I am afraid Notre Dame could have a similar problem running the football against Georgia.
Great segment and analysis of upcoming first rounder. I always look forward to this show and Tyler’s talking points concerning all aspect of ND football. That being said, why mention graduating in 2018 at the top? If there was an incident involving the team and student body/alumni it would apply but I don’t see the relevance as it stands.
Luke is 100% spot on. 90% of Indiana fans have never went to an Indiana football game or cared till about 8 weeks ago. Now they are the most obnoxious fans in the state. Also it’s a lose lose for Notre Dame. Notre Dame is supposed to beat Indiana. If they lose…
USC loss to Michigan, I doubt they would beat Indiana. Also many Indiana fans are normally Irish fans, so yes some of them are sure to be obnoxious. I have enjoyed the hubris of the Irish media. However, my engagement with most Irish fans has been positive. It will be interesting to see how Indiana’s run defense fares against the Irish run game(The stats from the OSU game are a little skewed,.OSU only had 75 rushing yards until they broke a 65 yard run when everyone thought they are taking a knee in the final minute). This will also be the best team Notre Dame has faced this season. It should be an exciting game.
@EricMcDurmon no way,GT would beat IU,USC would beat IU,Army would beat IU,there's no way IU beats ND,IU don't have a very good run defense either,just look at some of their past games this season,yall aren't really expecting ND to make it far but I'm telling you,this is the best looking ND team I've seen in 10 years,IU better be ready,and after that Georgia better be ready,this defense will win it all for ND,watch and mark my words
@ Well, Notre Dame may very well win, but Indiana is the best team you have played. You can believe that Notre Dame has played a hard schedule, the truth is your schedule is similar to Indiana and in future years will get worse as the TV contracts start to require more ACC, B1G, and SEC crossover games. They could lose USC and Georgia Tech.
The cold prevents and hinders SPEED! NOTRE Dame is built on speed on offense and defense! Those Hamstrings n Quads need to be WARM! I truly hope it’s not too cold 🥶 that night! GOOOO IRISH ☘️ 🏈
@@JohnSimpson-sv6sq the wind could effect the passing game but hopefully it’s 35+ and only a slight wind 💨 and our IRISH ☘️ PLAY FAST and hit with VIOLENCE which is what we have seen all year ( especially in the last 5-6 weeks) and may God heal the groin of our Kicker! AMEN
Regarding tickets on open market. Is it possible that ticket holders had the option to buy extra tickets before tickets were offered to lottery applicants. That would allow them to attend the game and sell extra tickets for $$$$$
I have no idea why Tyler seems to have a bit a gloom for the ND vs. IU play-off game. They should beat IU with good Off/Def and if your going to play Georgia this is the year to do it. It is what it is so Go Irish!
I broke that ticket allotment to you two pods ago Tyler.. don’t and to trust me my guy? Lol I guarantee you that I get information much quicker than media sources, all good though man just taking a subtle jab here🤙🏼
I think ND wins this easy,IF,they play like they have been,id like to see the corners do a little better but i think ND wins this 35-30,then they go to play Georgia,which right now looks like Beck is out for the season,Georgias backup qb might be a blessing for ND,they could go all the way if we can get past Georgia,which im 80% sure they can,we will see,gonna be some exciting games coming up,and i want to see how SMU and ASU do,exciting nonetheless,go Irish,lets do this
I find interesting how many people have commented that Ohio State lost a starting lineman at the end of the season, but nobody mentioned that IU lost one of their best linemen days before the Michigan game. IU is not as deep. Notre Dame has to play not just show up.
Damn, everytime I listen to college football I hear about September 7th. However for some reason no one tells me whether the goal post is out of the river yet. I'm still waiting for that answer.
Guys I watch the tape on that USC game I'm sorry it wasn't just really good place it was very bad coverage Christian grey had very very bad technique leverage on almost every play to the receiver the receiver had a perfect window every single time to catch the ball and he doesn't understand leverage and you have to understand that if you want to be a good or at least an average corner in this college football league you have to know leverage and he truly did not understand the concept of leverage during that USC game only one play he did during the interception
I think it's completely stupid for Notre Dame to raise their ticket prices to that astronomical level now you're not even going to have a loud crowd you're going to have a wine and cheese crowd again and it's going to be quiet in there for Notre Dame when we need them to be loud I mean it's ridiculous in a game like this you should make it average or almost cheaper than normal because you got an extra game on your schedule it should be cheaper you want people like Us in there people that are going to be loud people are going to scream the whole game you don't want wine and cheese people in there that don't even yell and don't even care who wins all they care about is I was there
Guys it wasn't just one bad game for Christian grey I'm sorry but he's just has not been tested and I'm sorry but that's the real Christian grey when you get anybody competent enough to throw the ball I am so worried about IU playing against him because I'm telling you if I you wasn't intelligent and they had a smart coaching staff which they do that's where I would go all game long I would go after him all game because I'm telling you he has horrible technique he doesn't understand to do leverage he doesn't get it he gives outside and inside leverage to the receiver almost every play
I'm nervous about gray because he is not a good corner I don't understand how anyone thinks he is he is not he got burned so many times in that USC game it wasn't even funny and just because he made one interception that anyone could have made because it was thrown right to him I'm sorry but that doesn't get him off the hook they need to figure something out like they need to put someone back there to help that boy because he is a horrible cover guy he can't cover anybody
Cakewalk game. ND will expose IU like they did against Army/Navy. IU is the worst team in the playoffs. Take out the starters early so we can bring our best against Georgia.
The average low in SB in late Dec is between 32 and 20, if you’ve never been to a football game in the 20s, I assure you that you’ve never experienced “weather“ like that and there is a 0% chance that it will be “a nice day“ at 8 PM. Invest in gloves, boots and hand warmers or you’re gonna get nerve damage. Also, there was a 28 point swing with those pick 6s, unless ND gets Cross back and the rest of the line has their best game of the year, this is a bad matchup. Their strengths play to ND’s defense’s weaknesses. I don’t care about the name on the helmet, I watched the games and Bama would’ve been a better match up, but hopefully IU can’t get their passing game going

IU fans will find tickets. There will probably be 20-30 thousand IU fans there.
Yes, I would be surprised if Indiana didn’t have a decent crowd. Indiana has the second largest alumni base and many live in Chicago. This is why tickets are going for over 3,000 dollars for lower seats and 1000 dollars for nose bleed seats. I checked last night. I decided to buy an eighty-five inch TV and watch it with friends from Bloomington.
Minor point, but I miss the old schedule: Mich, Mich St, Pitt, BC, etc. Fun rivalries. I find nothing compelling about random ACC opponents.
ACC is a terrible conference. ND has to get out of that contract.
I don’t disagree
@@samclark3370 those teams are fuckin terrible too
Add Penn State

Everyone but Texas has ran the ball well against Georgia. Georgia tech did, ole miss did, hell even UMass did.

UT has a better defense but Ohio state has a better offense,gonna be a close game,I'm picking OSU by 7,28-21 is my thoughts,OSU squeaks by
Every computer poll / metric puts OSU well ahead of Tennessee. But, they have Ryan Day, so it's a toss up. 😂
