00:00Joe, let's start with tonight in South Bend at Notre Dame Stadium. How do you think Indiana

00:07will do against Notre Dame with that six and a half burger?

00:11Yeah, I actually took Indiana plus the seven and a half. Scotty, I lean to the under in

00:16regards to the matchup. I do believe Kirk Cignetti does have the slight head coaching

00:21experience coaching in the FCS playoffs. The week off in preparation, I think will benefit

00:27Indiana more than Notre Dame. And let's not forget, Notre Dame was on a 10-game heater.

00:32They won those last 10 games of the regular season by an average margin of about 34 points

00:37per game. Now you disrupt that. I think that could benefit Indiana. I think it's a very

00:41close game, fourth quarter. In the end, I do give the edge to the Irish. They won a

00:46very close game, 24 to 20.

00:49Tomorrow, you can catch college football today at 9 a.m. Eastern with Joe and all his friends

00:56on SportsGrid. It's smarter to be on SportsGrid. Great football coverage on the weekends, unequaled

01:02by their peers anywhere on any level. So Joe, let's talk about tomorrow. It starts in Miserable

01:08Valley at Beaver Stadium in State College with SMU coming out of Dallas into the cold

01:15weather against Penn State.

01:17I actually like SMU, Scotty. I took them plus the eight and a half. I actually like them

01:23plus the 250 on the money line. I think the one thing when you look at Kevin Jennings

01:27only lost one game as a starter. That came against Clemson last week. He's more athletic.

01:32He's the more consistent quarterback. Never seen Drew Atlas step up in a big spot. And

01:37James Franklin, even though they're at home, you look at the games this year, 34 and a

01:42half point favored against Ball State, didn't cover. 28 and a half point favored against

01:46UCLA, didn't cover. 18 and a half point favored against Illinois, didn't cover. They played

01:52down to the level of competition. And if they can't run the football consistently,

01:56I think they're going to be in a four quarter game. I think SMU potentially could strike

02:01the upset. They're only giving up 2.7 yards per carry against opposing offenses. I'm calling

02:07for the outright victory, SMU outright over Penn State.

02:10SMU to win in Happy Valley. You heard it here. Not only that, but I knew, I said earlier

02:18in the show, I called that my life. Leecey's on SMU. I already said it.
