00:00I think if Notre Dame wins and covers, it's Jeremiah Love on the ground.
00:03We talk about the Texas A&M front seven giving up 140 yards per game.
00:08They've been a little suspect in back-to-back weeks,
00:11like teams against UTSA and Utah State.
00:14They need Marcel Reed, though.
00:16That's the catalyst, if you're back in Texas A&M like I am, to step up.
00:21Marcel Reed's number, to me, is light.
00:23I think he could abuse them on the ground.
00:26Here's the thing.
00:27They didn't have a good performance defensively, Notre Dame.
00:30They couldn't get a pass rush on Carson Beck.
00:32Preach it all week.
00:34We've got to get to the passer.
00:35We have to get to the pass.
00:36They play man-to-man coverage against A&M.
00:39He could abuse them on the ground with just breaking, containing, open running lanes.
00:44I love Marcel Reed on the ground.
00:46Yards and touchdowns.
00:48That's the difference.
00:49A&M might not win it, but I like the points in the ballgame.
00:51Yeah, those props here for the player passing props.
00:53C.J. Carr, Notre Dame, 205-and-a-half currently here, and Marcel Reed at 194-and-a-half.
00:59It is a low number.
01:00He's got over five bills already over the season, seven touchdown passes, no interceptions.
01:03And if you think they're going to be losing in that game, then they're going to be passing
01:06in the fourth quarter.
01:07I think you're on to something there with Marcel Reed.
01:08But I do want to focus.
01:09We had the graph that come up on the screen.
01:11Doesn't it feel like Jeremiah Love, maybe the most talented running back in the country,
01:14just couldn't get untracked in that Miami game?
01:1710 carries for 33 yards, and I think he jumped for more yards than he actually ran for at that
01:21point.
01:2280-and-a-half is his number, Joe.
01:24It feels like, to me, he needs 10 carries in the first quarter and a half, Joe.
01:29Yeah, he does.
01:30And you think about the fan base, you think about Denbrock.
01:33Again, did the right thing by getting C.J. Carr involved, but then how do you just go
01:38away from your playmaker?
01:39I don't know.
01:40I don't understand.
01:41Their offense was predicated on running the football, even when they had Riley Leonard last
01:46year, and to get away from Jeremiah Love was just a completely baffling game plan.
01:51Here's the problem.
01:52They did get him involved in the screen game late.
01:54I still think he can catch the football out of the backfield.
01:58But again, if they're going to win and cover, 80-and-a-half is cheap.
02:01If you're back in Notre Dame, Love not just for one, maybe two today.
02:06Yeah, and the thing you love, too, you look at the 80-and-a-half, it's like, he's not a
02:09plotter.
02:09He doesn't need 21 carries to get that.
02:11That's okay.
02:12Third and three, everybody's at the line, 62-yard touchdown.
02:15Yeah, we interviewed him.
02:16We've seen him do so many times.
02:16I interviewed him out.
02:18You did?
02:18I did too?
02:18Super Bowl.
02:19Did I?
02:19I thought you were there.
02:21Well, you might have been hanging in the balance.
02:22You were probably getting lunch or something.
02:24Exactly.
02:24Having an early meal down there.
02:26Joey's?
02:27What place were we eating down there?
02:28Joey's.
02:29Yeah.
02:29But let me just say, Jeremiah Love is a Heisman contender.
02:34They just didn't feed him last time.
02:36It's just amazing if Notre Dame loses this game and Jeremiah Love gets 15 carries for
02:4345 yards and you're already out of the college football playoff, they have Boise State, they
02:49have Arkansas, they have USC.
02:51There's no shot in Purdue.
02:53Those are the only big games that they have the rest of the way.
02:57They're not getting back into the college football playoff.
02:59They're not, Donnie.
03:00I don't care if they've won 10th Street.
03:01Remember when they lost to NIU?
03:03No way.
03:04No care.
03:04What happens the rest of the season?
03:05They can't get in.
03:06Who was in the college football championship last year?
03:08But they had more key wins at some point last year.
03:10I don't care.
03:10They lost to NIU.
03:11No, they can't get in, Joe.
03:13You go into A&M week one, that's a quality win.
03:17They went into Miami.
03:18They lose a tight game.
03:20You lose as a six and a half point home favorite.
03:23You can't have that.
03:24You can't start the year 0-2 and back into the college.
03:27The only way they're making the college football playoff is if all these teams,
03:31Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon, they're all like 8-4.
03:36Then, yeah.
03:38Not happening.
03:38The power of Notre Dame.
03:40By the way, talking about no shots, how about the wide receivers?
03:42Jordan Faison, where were you week one?
03:44What was it?
03:4438 and a half.
03:45By the way, Eli Raritan was their lead dog at tight end last week, Joe.
03:49Slipping around the chip and coop, 43 and a half.
03:52Touchdown, too.
03:53Touchdown.
03:54He was a main target of CJ Carr.
03:56He dropped some passes early in the first half.
03:59But, again, he made up for it.
04:01He had the big reception over the top in the third and fourth quarter.
04:04He's a playmaker.
04:06He's got mismatch size, right?
04:08You utilize him in red zone.
04:10The problem is the game plan is going to be run the football, work off of play action.
04:15So, again, maybe we look at receptions.
04:18Maybe we look at any time touchdown.
04:19But he's a good option.
04:20I'm telling you right now, Jeremiah Love is a minus 210 price to score a touchdown.
04:26Why?
04:26They don't want you to bet that, which means what?
04:29He's going to score a touchdown, Joe, in the first half.
04:31He's like Derrick Henry.
04:32Yep.
04:32You're not sweating this.
04:33Right.
04:34I'm not sweating.
04:34I'll lay the 210.
04:35I'm not sweating.
04:35I said two, though.
04:36If you like him at one, why not two?
04:41Because I'll shut the TV off at one, and I'm done for the day.
04:43I'm going out relaxing.
04:44You're sweating it out in the fourth quarter, hoping for a late touchdown on that point right now.
04:48You're sweating it out in the fourth quarter.
