South Bend, Indiana. For the first time ever, the Fighting Irish and the Indiana Hoosiers will do battle on the field. This is the first year for the 12 team college football playoff. Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame’s head coach, should have the Irish ready to play. I expect the same for Curt Cignetti and the Hoosiers. The first ever playoff game could come down to turnovers and miscues. The teams play on Friday at 7 Central on ABC. The two Indiana rivals will play in South Bend at Notre Dame Stadium. Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love has the ability to take over a game and go into the end zone all by himself. Mitch Jeter cannot miss field goals that will swing the game in the Irish favor. If he does, that could leave the door open for IU.

And then, on Saturday, we have Texas and Clemson at noon in Austin, and Ohio State vs. Tennessee at 7 pm in the Shoe. Rocky Top is coming in to Columbus and taking names. Ryan will not have a good Day.
