00:00All right, Marcus Freeman gets extended by Notre Dame. This is not a surprise. He's done
00:06very well with them. 39 record, 2-1 bowl game. Also a question of even if Notre Dame was
00:12to lose in the playoff, like who would they hire that's done a better job than him? Probably
00:15no one. So I give them credit for keeping the stability there. And you know, it certainly
00:21seems to me like they have a good chance to win this first game against Indiana. But you
00:25know me when it comes to Notre Dame. I'm a guy that loves to take those points when
00:30the Irish play and they play Indiana on Friday night. I think I'm going to replace that high
00:35school helmet behind me with a big gold helmet just for you. One of these days, if Notre
00:39Dame ever wins this thing, right? You know, on the Freeman extension, you mentioned the
00:4539 record, 7-2 against ranked teams the last two years. And maybe they're not like powerhouse
00:50teams, but they're still ranked teams. They do have a dud every once in a while. Northern
00:55Illinois was a little more than a dud. Marshall a couple years ago, season making games for
01:01other schools. But I think in general, Marcus Freeman has taken the highs and lows with
01:05that job and done a nice job. Now you get into this Indiana game where snow is going
01:09to be a factor. Two teams that were in the top five in turnover margin, plus 16 and plus
01:1515. So that's one of my big curiosities of the weekend. How does weather really play
01:21a factor? It's been three weeks, you know, this long layoff. How does that factor with
01:25these two teams? And you know, the in-state thing is in. I think we will have a competitive
01:29game, but I still like the Irish to win, which would push them in the quarterfinals. And
01:34maybe Marcus Freeman can take this team on a run.
