00:00A big game opener for Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame as they go to Kyle Field in Texas A&M.

00:09You know, this is the third year for Freeman coach in South Bend with the expanded playoff

00:14this year going to 12.

00:16I'm a Notre Dame fan.

00:17I say all the time he needs to make the playoff this year after what I feel was a couple of

00:22subpar first two years.

00:24Yeah, I mean, I think he could make the playoff.

00:26He's number nine.

00:27I think in the country he's top 10.

00:29But he's an underdog versus Texas A&M and going into College Station and Jimbo left

00:34up Mike Elko talent.

00:36He left him a lot of talent and Mike Elko did an incredible job of turning that program

00:40around at Duke.

00:41I think he'll immediately change the A&M program around and it's going to be a great game now

00:45and it's going to be a close game.

00:47But Notre Dame's offensive line is young and untested and I think the difference with the

00:51strength of Texas A&M's defensive line against a very young, inexperienced offensive line

00:56for Notre Dame.

00:58Unfortunately, Coach, I think I agree with you that on that side of the ball is where

01:02things are going to be a problem for that young Irish O-line.
