- Matt & Pete weigh in with their picks for the National Championship between Notre Dame and Ohio State with guest Tim Murray. Plus, they talk about the build up to this game and the cultural conversation around Notre Dame including Shane Gillis’ latest ad with Under Armour.
How do the Fighting Irish matchup with Ohio State? What can Al Golden do to scheme against Jeremiah Smith and how can Notre Dame rattle Will Howard. Now that Jeremiyah Love is 100% how will that impact the game and do the Irish win the turnover battle against Ohio State? What would it mean for Marcus Freeman and this team to pull of the upset?

Focusing analysis on the likability of a team is bizarre. Tennessee fans were so confident of a win because they thought filling the Shoe was going to effect the outcome. Most left early in the third quarter. ND fans will have reason to continue to hate the Buckeyes after tonights game.
OSU was 14-14 with Texas late, and put together a 13 play, 88-yard drive so to say they can't win a game like that is provably false.
Texas blew the game, that screen before half and awful redzone playcalling at the end handed it to osu
What are you talking about
And they had the same opportunity with Oregon and Michigan and didn't score. So it's probably true also.
@jonahkuchowicz6488 that's part of being a good team, but this is true. But this is the type of stuff that always made us doubt texas.
Pete going with ND may be the biggest surprise of the CFP🤯🤣
31-14 Ohio state
The only team to score over 20 points against OSU all season was Oregon. Notre Dame won't either.
Tim, thanks for pointing out Jaylen Sneed dominace in the playoffs. I went to the Georgia game. JS sideline to sideline hustle and speed was on display. CMF needs to reward JS with one or two LB roles. Stop asking JS to play 3 and multiple positions. I'm sure this is why JS has been frustrated. JS will play on Sundays!
Isn't the real question whether or not Notre Dame can stop the run with 2 safeties back deep? That's the key regardless of whether zone or man is played.
It's not just Hell that hath frozen over bro, it's Atlanta too.
Jadarian Price is due to break one.
And he’s going to do that vs the best defense in the country just because?
I would be fine with him getting absolute minimum minutes. He’s been exposed against the good teams in this playoff.
@@samclark3370 vs good teams you can’t dance in the back field. Just get north south which isn’t his game.
Have had the same calm. Similar to the feeling before UGA and they won by 13. Players are hungry. Last year they let them off the hook, been seeing it on loop all week. Think they’ll be the more hungry and determined team, got to get it done
With full respect boys… Pete I ran into you in Club corridor at Orange bowl. Im here in Atlanta ready for manana!
Don’t you boys remember 2012? This team is not only more athletically talented, but more unified, better coaches, better schematic advantage… Ohio state didn’t get their head out of their tail until a few weeks ago. They haven’t met the heart of champions on this Fighting Irish ☘️ team. LETS GO BOYS! How about a little bias here?!?!?
Lol they had a measured take . So asking for bias is funny
There’s more similarities to 2012 than not.
This OSU is more talented than ND. That doesn’t mean ND can’t win but it’ll certainly be more difficult than you think.
Picking ND to win because “they play together” isn’t really a great strategy.
@@OutofExcuses Notre Dame is Lucky Charms breakfast cereal
Hell, just bot starting a redshirt freshman at qb, that had to get bailed out in several games to go undefeated by Tommy Rees. A lot of differences, but that's the biggest.
@@OutofExcusespoint out these similarities? You going to run out real quick. Lol
You can see in Pete’s eyes that he knows what’s coming, and is predicting ND for the channel followers.
Pete knows what coming. ND by a million
Imagine how hard you're gonna be coping if Notre Dame wins.
@@issaccody1161 Good thing I don't have to worry about that
Matt Fortuna has the same voice as Ira Flatow.
participation trophies aren't a thing. ND hasn't played a single viable offense. Penn State put up 30 on them and couldn't put up a single offensive TD against OSU. Give me a break. NDs gonna get wrecked.
Comparing McCord to Howard is hilarious. Clueless
Oh? How so?
@ completely different play styles and players
McCord's gonna play longer in the NFL than Howard will. Whatever that's worth.
ND is not getting 5 stars due to the lack of administration support.
Explain.
@williamhopkins7065
CMF is bringing 5 stars to the table. The administration needs to close the deal. If I need to list the 5 stars, you're not an ND fan.
Michigan coaches brought a 5 star QB to the table, and the administration closed the deal. Look at Ohio State! Look at LSU, and we all know Brian Kelly suck at recruiting.
CMF would be in hog heaven if he had an administration to support recruiting at a high level. Right now, CMF is winning with player development, great chemistry, and coaching.
@sbnative574 I wanted to know what your consideration was of the administration closing the deal. I follow recruiting enough to know who we don't get. But I don't want to become 100 percent bag man schools with no soul. These are the kids you pay that transfer for the next bag. Win games, get the kids that want to play for you. Those teams were getting those skill position players before nil.
And Michigan administration didn't do shit. They lost the dude out of the state of Michigan. And David portion and another billionaires wife who is a Michigan alum came together and paid for dude. If they hadn't done that he'd been in lsu getting the millions they promised him. So all these rmteams doing this, let's wait and see how things play out before we say which way is some guaranteed way of success. Only position I'd be willing to break the bank for is WR just so we can get some guy on tape being awesome that leads to other wrs. Other than that, I trust the coach and recruiting to see how they do.
@williamhopkins7065
I guess you support Brian Kelly leaving and getting the bag. No top wins in 12 years and awarded a $100M bag. It's amazing how you guys are counting the kids' money and have a strong opinion, but let the coaches off the hook. These coaches have made millions off the back of these kids. I support the kids getting the bag and moving to whatever team they decide. WHY are you concerned about the kids getting paid? Get out of their pockets. Mind your own business. I can tell you never played sports or have always been privileged. These kids are taken hits every game... They deserve the bag as you would call it.
A lot of teams have thought they could do certain things against Notre Dame or underestimated what they saw in film and have to wonder if Ohio State does the same.
One word...Turnovers. Then fate takes over
@@paulkindlon5496 OSU has just as much of a storybook ending as ND. You need to get turnovers and run the ball well enough.
Buckeye fan here, turnovers is what ND has thrived off of. If we protect the ball we will win! Then they must strictly produce on offense And I don't think that goes well for them. It will either be a great game or a disaster. Go bucks 🅾️🅾️🅾️
Go Irish!!!!☘️☘️☘️☘️
23-21 was my prediction! 49 yd walk off field goal!
GO IRISH
You guys think osu isnt likable but are cooming all over an osu grad 🫣
