Jan 20 | National Championship

Keep heaping praise on OSU. Spread goes to 10+. Give Marcus more fuel.

To anyone think OSU is unbeatable, your wife’s boyfriend says hi

OSU’s receivers were not effective against a good secondary and their run game was not great. Their DL is great, but our OL is pretty good too. Leonard, Love, Price, Williams continue to amaze and run over kids.

Going to be a fun game. Feeling good about the Irish after watching that ☘️

Avoid giving up chunk plays and play turnover free football and you win.

 

[NumbersGuy0520]

We’re a dangerous team because we have nothing to lose.

 

[Ndaccountant]

- Gonna need to hit shots. OSU is pretty stout everywhere on D but CBs are weakness and grabby. If they don’t threaten it the safeties will come down hard all night

- On D, I said it earlier but spoiler folks we aren’t gonna do anything like Texas did tonight. It’s gonna be stop the run, blitz, Cover 1 Robber all night as usual

I think the best thing Al can do is show and recover LB blitzers. He did versus UGA, not so much against PSU. With a few extra days, I think he will disguise more.

Chris Fowler: “It’s gonna take a whole lot for Notre Dame to beat this football team”.

People are upset about this but it seems true? We’re probably going to be a 10 point dog and the savages are going to need to play their best game of the season.

What though the odds be great or small.

 

[DCDomer]

They think they just won the whole thing. Time to let a mf know what time it is.

Chris Fowler: “It’s gonna take a whole lot for Notre Dame to beat this football team”.

I don't disagree. OSU is hands down the best team we'll have faced this year.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

If Tyler Buchner and Sam Hartman can hold their own against these guys I am not worried
ND by two scores

 

[GoldenAura]

I’m so sick of Ohio State. Their shitty red uniforms, their obnoxious asshole fans who are only matched by Michigan fans for how arrogant they are, Urban Meyer, Ryan Day, all of it. Why can’t they ever be bad?

I am BEGGING Freeman and the boys to get the Natty monkey off our back and send OSU to the shadow realm forever. Fuck em.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

I don't disagree. OSU is hands down the best team we'll have faced this year.

The best team we'll have faced this year will be NIU because that'll be the only fucking team to beat us

It’s true but it’s one of those things you don’t really say as a broadcaster, especially one of the first things as the broadcast is ending.

Anyone can act tough until you punch them in the mouth. Let's out physical these divas.

 

[NDPhilly]

Line being -10 is insane to me. Like PSU would really be +10? I know we have injuries but shit they looked mortal as hell today.

 

[DCDomer]

Mental Midget Cryin' Ryan will be thinking of Lou Holtz the entire week. Wouldn't be shocked if we see a Michigan-style bed wetting from these dorks.

 

[Gladiator]

So boys.. Dad just called and said his buddy (the man who was in charge of Mercedes Benz stadium until last year) just called him offering free seats for the game. See you there.

Any generosity going on? Or are ya just bragging.

 

[Irish4life]

Bros...

 

[NDFAN2008]

Howard makes a lot of risky throws if he does that against us we will pick a few off

 

[jpachuta33]

David ☘️ vs Goliath 🌰

 

[Dale]

What line does will be interesting. I don’t think the power numbers are anywhere close to 10. Closer to 5 or 6. People projecting more because of OSU may backtrack after tonight. But Love, Mills, Knapp are likely worth a few points too

 

[Gladiator]

Fowler is taken a dig at ND like 3 times already. Jesus Christ dude

USC guy that is the worst of the worst. He's got a podcast now. He's always explaining himself after the fact.

“It’s going to take a whole lot for
Notre Dame to beat this football team”

Chris Fowler

Go Irish!!!!!!! ☘️ beat o$u

Like no shot Fowler it’s the fucking National championship game.

 

[Gladiator]

David ☘️ vs Goliath 🌰

I'll let anyone on the team borrow my slingshot. I'll teach them how to use It too.

 

[notredomer23]

Will Howard simply has too much Drew Allar in him for this to be a 10 point spread.

 

[greyhammer90]

For reference, based on a quick Google search, when OSU played PSU this year the spread was -3

 

[NDPhilly]

Implied spreads based on the most predictive power rating systems this year:

- Sargarin: +2
- FPI: +1
- Dokter Entropy: +2
- TeamRankings.com: +2.5
- DavidHarville.com: +1

And we open +9.5. Like I know we have had a Shit ton of injuries Throughout the year, but That warrants a 7-8 Point difference in what the spread hypothetically should be based off results? Just wildly high To me. 6.5 I could agree with.

What did he say?

Yeah the line has the biggest disconnect from underlying metrics I’ve ever seen. Seems to be overly pricing in injuries + vibes.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Reminder
ND has played in Mercedes Benz stadium this season

I bet Freeman left a note for the team in the locker room knowing they'd be back for more

You hold the pen. Now write the final chapter.
