Sean Ziggler with a buy-so-hold Tyler Buckner, TB12 will have at least two passing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns this year and I'm going to sell that. I do not think Tyler will have two receiving touchdowns or nor do I think he'll have two passing. I don't think he'll have two either. He is not a guy that's really in the mix right now at receiver. I think if they get into games and they're blowing people out, you're most likely going to see Micah Gilbert, Cam Williams, Logan Saltate, guys like that getting opportunities to catch the ball, the tight ends, not Tyler Buckner. Now the two passing touchdowns I could see because I could see them some sort of fake field goal type situation where he does a shovel or does something to throw a tie. I could see that but I don't think he's going to do both of those things and I don't think he'll do too. I'm just saying I could see it but no I don't think that's going to happen.

Need to hire, you need Indeed. Ditro Hunter, by so whole, the winner of the game between Oklahoma State and Utah will be in the big 12 title conference game. Let me go back and just look real quick and see where that game is going to be played. Real fast. Give me a second. All right. Utah, Oklahoma State, so Utah, that game is going to be at Oklahoma State. Utah has to play at Houston at Colorado at UCF, Oklahoma State. So yeah, if Oklahoma State loses at home to Utah, they also have to play at Kansas State at BYU at Baylor at TCU at Colorado and then they get West Virginia at home. If they lose that game, they're going to have a tough time being in the big 12 title game. Conversely Utah plays at Oklahoma State, they also play at Houston at Colorado at UCF and then they have home games against Iowa State, BYU, TCU and Arizona. So I will say this, I'm going to buy it because I buy Oklahoma State winning that game and I have Oklahoma State in the big 12 title game. I'm going to sell it if, well, I'm going to know what, you know what, I'm going to buy it both ways. Now they think I'm going to buy it both ways because I think Utah's schedule is manageable enough that if they go on the road and upset them in that game, they're going to have the best shot, a really good shot of playing in that game and also play UCF on the road. So yeah, I'm going to buy that. I kind of talk myself through a little bit, but I'm going to buy that. The winner of that game will be in the big 12 title game. I mean, look, I have Oklahoma State in there anyway, Vince has Utah in there anyway, so it's not like either of these teams are necessarily surprising and honestly, D-Troll Hunter, I could see us in there where both of these teams get a rematch in the big 12 title game. That's not out of the question either, that they both, the losers also in the big 12 title game, especially if the losers Utah, if Oklahoma State's the loser, then I think they have no shot or a very little shot of being in the big 12 title game. Utah should have a little bit more of a manageable shot because of their schedule. So I can see that. Tommy Guns, 44, the two Irish pass catchers that made the preseason Balitnikov watchlist while being awesome themselves will not be the two pass catchers that make the finalists list. Those two pass catchers will be Tg1. I think that's meant to be JG1 and the bow show. Number one Notre Dame will not have two finalists for the Balitnikov award because that's, I mean, I think three, four guys, there's no way Notre Dame is going to put up the numbers where two guys are finalists. I will say this, if they have a finalist, I don't think that it'll be Mitch Levens because I don't think he's going to get the same push and love that Brock Bowers got nor will do. I think he'll be as productive as Brock Bowers was, especially two years ago, Tg1, the great one. I get it now. Okay. My bad, Tommy, thank you for clearing that up, USMA. So that's my bad. So he, that is Tg1. You were right. I was wrong. I'll admit that doesn't happen often. I'll admit that me, me admitting it doesn't happen often. If they have a finalist, it could be Chris Mitchell, but I think there's a better chance that it'll be one of those two if they have a finalist. But I mean, honestly, I could see all three of those guys emerging as the guy in getting to that point in time. So yeah, if Notre Dame has a pass catcher that's over a thousand yards this year, he's going to have a shot to be in that conversation because it means Notre Dame is going to be really, really good. And I don't, I think it'll, they'll get a push. So yeah, I'll buy that one. It won't be two. I'll buy that it'll be one of those two about that. Lucky duck, ducky duck 512 by so hold, Riley Mills is the second defensive player drafted in the 2025 NFL draft. And I assume he means the second Notre Dame player to be drafted in that. So yeah, I'm going to buy that behind Benjamin Morrison. Yeah, I could buy that. I don't think it's a given by any stretch. I could see it being Howard Cross. I could see it being Xavier Watts. I know Ryan Roberts is watching someone just going to say this to tweak him a little bit. I see you can see it being Jack Kaiser, but I certainly, if Riley has the kind of year that I think he's going to have, I think he could end up, certainly can end up being the number two, because he, look, he's been on Bruce Feldman's freaks list the last two years for a reason. He's going to test really well. I've talked to people on the program. He's very strong. He's going to test out where they're well there too. So he'll have some good athletic, I mean, not elite athletic numbers, but now look at like where Braden Fisk was drafted last year, I could see Riley Mills having that kind of surge, not just from a production standpoint, but a draft standpoint, could certainly see that. So yeah, I think he's certainly the second most talented. But yeah, as far as like, if we're assuming Benjamin's the first, you know, there, then sure, I think Riley Mills could be second. I'll buy that. Matter of fact, that would be my prediction that he'll be the second part of because of how, how, you know, my predictions for the kind of player he's going to be this year. Riley Mills, next one, Riley Beisselhold, Riley Mills is going to be drafted in the top two rounds. That I'm not quite sure about, to be honest with you. I'm not sure if I'm not the kind of, I'm not a procrasticator that's going to be able to say, oh, for sure him having this year puts him in a round two. I'm actually going to go look here real quick and see if, see what Braden Fisk did last year and see where he was picked. He was picked in the second round, pick number 39. I don't, I'm not there yet with Riley Mills. I think he's got a lot of work. He's going to have to do a lot. He's going to have to prove. I will say this, however, if Riley Mills has the kind of season that I think he can have, then I could see him as a lay person. I could see him kind of going up and having that kind of jump. What I'd be curious about is, and I'm not sure if Ryan's still in the chat, but if he is, maybe he can answer this question, but what was the draft prognostication for Braden Fisk going into last year and how does it stack up to what the prognostication is this year for Riley Mills, because Braden Fisk is not nearly as big as Riley Mills. He's six, six, three and a half, two 92 Riley will be, you know, six, five plus and two 95. He's going to have longer arms, but Braden Fisk had really good testing numbers and I don't know that Riley is going to test that well. I don't know he's going to run a four, seven, eight and a 33 and a half inch vert. I don't know he's going to do those things. I'm actually curious to see, forget what Bruce Feldman put in his freaks list. The last two years about Riley, I'm actually going to pull that up. I'm curious if he had his testing numbers from the last, like his vertical numbers in the last years, last two years. So that's this last year's. Where is this year's freaks list? Let me see here. If I have that. So there we go. Last year, he said that Riley Mills did said he benched 450 pounds, did 22, 25, 30 times vertical jumped almost 33 inches. So that's a pretty good vertical jump. And then this year he said Riley, actually he said the same thing. No, that's last year's sorry. I'm looking at last years for both of them. Let me find the, the list for last season. So let me find the two, two thousand, twenty three freaks list and get that hmm. Okay. So yeah, here's, here's this year. So what he said about, about Riley this year is he vertical jumped 38 and a half inches. Oh no, that's Jaylen's need. He vertical jumped 32 inches, broad jumped nine feet. Compare that to Braden Fisk who had a broad jump of nine feet and nine inches and vertical jumped 33 and a half. So he doesn't have the explosive numbers that, that Braden Fisk had. And I think that played into why partly why Braden Fisk got drafted higher. But last year, Braden Fisk from a, from a production standpoint had nine, nine tackles for loss in six sacks of Riley Mills can top that then, you know, he might have a chance to jump into that conversation. I certainly think so as, and I'm saying this is a lame. I'm not a draft expert. I've never claimed to be a draft expert, but I've seen guys take them a second round that I don't think the talent that Riley Mills has. Ryan Reynolds here for, I guess my hundredth mint commercial. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

By so hold, someone other than Riley Mills or Howard Cross leads the defense and tackles for loss this season. Oh, I could buy that. You know, I'm going to sell that because I don't think that I think one of those, I think Riley Mills is going to lead the team and tackles for loss. I'm just, that's just kind of where I'm at. And, but I could certainly see a scenario where it's Drake Bowen. I could see a scenario where it's RJ Oben or Josh Burnham. I could see a scenario where it's Puba Cartry Ori. I could see a scenario where it's Jack, I think that's a Drake Bowen already. Jack Kaiser, I could see a scenario where it's Jaylen's need. Certainly could see that, but I'm, I think it's going to be Riley Mills. And so that's, that's my pick for who it's going to be. So I'm going to have to sell because of that, but it's a, it'll, it'll be interesting. It'll be close. Lucky Duck 512 also said, uh, by so whole Josh Burnham will lead the team in sacks. I'm going to sell that because I think the sack leader will either be Oben or, or Buba Car or Riley Mills. But I think Josh is going to be their best all around defensive end. I think Josh's impact is going to be go beyond the sacks. It'll be pressures, but also how he plays in the run game. RJ Oben will play more Viper than big end this year. If you sell that, I don't think that's going to be the case. I think the emergence of Buba Car Treyori and Jordan Patel is going to be at least solid enough to stay there. I think is, is going to keep that from happening. Buba Car Treyori and Jordan Patel will combine for nine sacks. Well, here's the thing about this. If this is true, then the second one definitely won't be true. And, and so that, that, that I could see that one, Buba Car Treyori and Jordan Patel will combine for nine sat nine plus sacks. I'm going to buy that because, I mean, look, as, as, as disappointing as Jordan Patel, who was last season, he still finished the year with four sacks and he had four and a half sacks the year before. So I could certainly see an air scenario where he gets four to five sacks and then Buba Car matches that number. Yeah, I'm, I'm buying that one for sure. I feel actually pretty good about that one. Mikey Duck 502 has some more Notre Dame as a better scoring margin than they did last year at plus 20.8. I, I like this one because it doesn't just look if they're going to average more points or less points. So what his submission is basically that Notre Dame could actually scored fewer points. But if they're holding deep teams to even fewer points on that end, that they could, the margin be greater. I'm going to, boy, that's a tough one. I'm going to sell that. And here's the, you know what, man, I'm torn on that one because part of me says that I think they may give up a couple more points just because I think there's going to be some games where they're bet the teams they play are going to score some more garbage points than last year. I think there's going to be some good offenses at the top of the board. There weren't great offenses on last year's schedule. Will the offense school? That's a tough one. I'm going to, I'm going to, you know what? Let's be optimistic. I'll buy that one. Matching last year's point totals on offense and then dropping two, three points on the other one. So I'll buy that. I don't feel great about that one because I could see scenario where, you know, like I said, guys, I've said before, they play a really good schedule this year. It's not as tough as some, as, you know, some schedules from the past, but it's not as soft as people make it out to be. And I think it's a good offensive schedule too. You know, I think A&M is going to have a challenging offense, challenging four Notre Dame. I, I believe that, that Northern Illinois has got one of the better running backs in arms going to face. I think Purdue is going to be better on offense this year. You've got Hudson Card coming back. They've got some transfers coming in that I really like on offense are going to help them out. They're going to be better than they were last year. Louisville is going to be really good on offense again this year. I think better than they were last year because, you know, you have some guys who are replacing, but you're returning a lot of guys that are going in the year or two of that system. And so even like last year transfers had no help. There was no veterans that could help them. We talked about this in 2022 in Notre Dame when you had a lot of veterans, like, like JD Bertrand, who was a fourth, who was a senior and, and Maris Lea if I was a senior, but they were all in year one of that defense. And so it was kind of new to everybody. Well, last year, a lot of the newcomers, like Drake Bowen had benefits as a freshman that Jaylin's need didn't have. And the same is true for Preston's enter and Jay Nalsbury in that when Jaylin's need was a freshman and his class Josh Burnham and those guys were freshmen. They were learning the defense the same exact time as the veterans were. The veterans could help them to a degree, but the veterans didn't have the same mastery of the system where when Drake Bowen showed up and JD Bertrand takes him under his wing, which he did. And so if Drake Bowen has a very good year, you have to give credit to Max Bulla. You have to obviously give credit to Drake Bowen, but JD Bertrand is going to deserve an assist for that too, because I've been told by multiple sources inside the program that would very much know this, that JD took Drake under his wing like day one last year. Because JD had a mentality that's very similar to what we've heard about past offensive linemen. You know, Zach Martin and then Ronnie Stanley and Quentin Nelson and Mike McGlinchy, there was a great pride in continuing, you know, continuing to tradition if the Alex Bars is his way, if the, if the, if when we leave, it's up to us to make sure that the future of this position is in a good, in a good place that they know the standard and we've, you know, taken them under a wing and they understand the expectations of, of this position. I was told that JD very much had that mentality at linebacker last year. Hey, my time is going to be over next year. I want to make sure that this talented young buck is in position to be as good as he can be next year. And when he replaces me, that's why he was a captain. And so I think he had that benefit in ways that other guys didn't and Louisville last year, you had the same situation. You had a bunch of transfers coming in and freshmen coming in that had no mentors because they were all learning it together. This year, you're going to have those guys that can be mentors to the newcomers. And I think that's going to help a bunch. So I think this offense is going to be very good at Louisville. I think four states can have a good offense, not elite, but it'll be, it'll be pretty good. Georgia Tech's going to have a very good offense this year, especially if they're, if they're offensive line holds up, I think they're going to be very good. And I think USC's going to again, have a very good offense. I think Virginia is going to be better on offense this year than they were last year. So there's a lot to, there's a, there's going to be some quality offenses and I could see learning and giving up 17 points a game and only scoring 39 or 40 again. And it's a great year and you dominate your opponents, but your margins is not quite as big. So I'll sell that, but so I'm going to sell that. I'm back and forth on that. I'm going to sell that one. I just talked myself into it. Sorry about that by so hold first TD the season is scored by Jeremiah Love by that. I'd love to see him or denying price going a long run to kick that game off. I'd love it. Notre Dame's by so holding their name scores a touchdown on their opening drive. You know, I'll take that one too. I'll take that one too. You know what? Let me think, let me think about, actually I want to, I want to look at something. So I know in 2022 Notre Dame took the 2021 Notre Dame Florida state. I am pretty sure that Notre Dame took their opening drive right down the field and, and I believe that was Jack Kaiser hit a, um, Jack Kaiser threw a touchdown pass to Michael mayor. I believe that was on the first drive of the game. Yes. Michael mayor 41 yard touchdown pass. He ran a, I think it was a fourth and one. They ran like a, he ran like a little corner route, floor state came down, play action, threw it over top 41 yard touchdown pass, not, not, not touched 2022 Notre Dame's against Ohio state Notre Dame scored on their first drive of that game as well. They had a field goal. If you remember, they threw a little RPO play to, um, to Lorenzo styles and he made a guy missed the tackle Lorenzo ran for over 50 yards. They got down in field goal range and they're in kick the field goal in their opening drive. And then I'm pretty sure that last year against Navy Notre Dame also, uh, scored on the first drive of the game as well. I'm looking at that now play by play touchdown on the first drive. So I'm actually going to go now look at the Notre Dame Duke game from 2020. I believe Notre Dame, I don't know that Notre Dame scored, but I remember them going down the field and, and getting a really good drive early and, uh, no, no, Notre Dame went three and out actually in 2022 on their first drive against Duke. So you'd have to go back to 2020 to find the last time. I remember Ian booked on a pick early, but that was, uh, um, yeah, interesting. So 22, 21, 22, 23, the last three years, Notre Dame is scored on their opening drive, two times a touchdown, one time a field goal. So I'm going to stick with that and they're going to take that down and score on the first drive. I dig it by so whole Riley Leonard runs in the first tee to the season. Oh, I see what you're doing here. You're making me pick one, you know, two different ones. So no, I will sell that because I went with Jeremiah Love. I think it'll be one of the two running backs will score. Um, now, yeah, I'm going to sell that. I was going to try to talk my way into saying that you could turn that two different ways, but I'm going to stick with what you said. So I'm going to sell that because I think it'll be Jeremiah Love or Gidarin price. Floating Irish by so whole, if Riley Leonard goes down in the game and Notre Dame is behind, do you buy putting CJ card in the game because of the better arm or sell instead of putting Angeli in who has the game game experience? Neither of those things should be the determiner, neither of them. So I'm, I'm, I'm trying to think of how to respond to this. I sell that you're going to put CJ car in because he has the better arm and I'm selling that you're going to put Steven and jelly in simply because he has in game experience. Neither of those reasons should be why you put a quarterback in the game. It's who gives you the best chance to win the game? Steven and jelly will not give you the best chance to win simply because he started a meaningless bowl game. CJ car will not give you the best chance simply because he has the best arm talent in the roster, which he does. But if there's a scenario where one of those guys has to come in, it's who runs the offense the best. It could be the guy with the most experience. It could be the guy with the best arm. It could be neither of them. It could be you give the guy, you put the guy in the game, the gives your offense the best chance to go down the field score touchdowns. That's really who it comes down to. I would err on the side of putting the guy in with the better talent. But if that guy mentally doesn't know the offense and can't make checks and things like that, then you're not going to put him in the game. You're going to want to put the guy in the game who can run the offense. Simply having more in-game experience doesn't mean that you're better prepared to run the offense either. I sell both of those reasons. You put the guy in the game who at that time gives your team the best chance to move the ball and score, whether it's CJ car, Steve and jelly, or Kenny Menchie, go with either one of those guys, so any of those guys who gives your offense the best chance to make that kind of move. Next one, J.G. Y. Town. Bicehold, if Riley Leonard goes down and actually we just answered that one. Sorry, you know what? Why I didn't do that one? Because I didn't read your name to begin the last one. That's my bad. J.G. Y. Town, you had the last submission. So we're going to go on to the next one. We got law dog has three of them here from law dog. Thank you law dog. Bicehold. We'll take the ball away two plus times against A and M. Oh, I'll buy that. I think look, I think that's part of what you're going to need to do to win the game. Look, to go on the road against a top 20 football team, you know, that's a big part of it. That's a big part of it. I mean, you have to be you have, you don't have to. I mean, I've seen teams, I've seen teams win games and not force turnovers on the road. It's not completely unheard of, but it certainly helps. It's certainly a great assist. And when you look at Texas A and M last year, you know, they weren't a team that really turned a ball over a ton, but they had several games on the road where they certainly did that. Three turnovers at Miami, two turnovers at Tennessee, you know, two turnovers in the bowl game against Oklahoma State. So they certainly had some games that they had a neutral site game against Tech Arkansas last year that they won that they turned it over three times. I can promise you if they turned a ball over three, well, I promise you, but if they have a great shot at winning, Notre Dame does, if they can force three turnovers from Texas A and M, great shot. So yeah, I think it's, I'm buying it because it's what they need to do. And, and obviously last year Notre Dame was a much better team when it came to forcing turnovers than they were the year before. Now here, here's the interesting thing. Notre Dame was much better at forcing turnovers later in the year. Remember, Notre Dame's defense was good early last year, but it wasn't really great consistently. It was just always good, but it really, it was, it was, it was elite some weeks, good in the next elite next, good in the next. They didn't turn force a turnover against Navy. They forced two against Tennessee State, three against NC State, none against Central Michigan, none against Ohio State, then they forced at least one turnover in each of the next eight games and had two or more turnovers in five of those games and then had back to back games, they forced five turnovers against USC and Pitt. So when they forced turnovers, it tended to come in bunches. So I'm going to buy that and again, it's, it's partly out of necessity as much as it's about predicting that it will definitely happen. It's, they're going to need that to happen if they're going to want to win this football game. By so hold, the Notre Dame offensive line penalties will be too or less for the A&M game. I'm selling that one. I would love to, for that to be correct, love for that to be correct, but I just, I have a hard time on the road, 112,000 people, true freshman at left tackle. If that happens, red shirt, sophomore, right tackle that's never played a meaningful down, your center and your right guard have only played three career snaps. They played a home game, a road game against a, one of the most apathetic fan bases and all of college football and Stanford. And then you played a bowl game again, you know, against Oregon State. Yeah, I, this is going to be a different environment, even for those veterans. I mean, that, that game last year in Stanford was in front of 30,000 people. It's a little different environment on the road than playing at Kyle Field. So there's going to be an fall start, there's going to be a, a snap and fraction or a whole. I think there'll be more than two in you hope that they're not devastating penalties, but I think so. Riley Leonard, by so hold, Riley Leonard will throw two or more completions of over 35 yards against A&M. I'll buy that. I think that's going to be a big part of it. Yeah. I think that's going to be a big part of it. I am shocked, folks, shocked that salty Virginia peanuts has a question about Jane Greathouse. Are you guys as shocked as I am? I, I totally didn't see this one coming. Totally shocked that my guy salty as a Jaden Greathouse question, but we're going to go with it anyway. By sell hold, the great one finishes fall camp in the top two of players evaluated for punt returner and we'll see game action as such, regardless of whether or not he is the principal punt returner. Now in the submission, he, and I didn't have room to put it all in here, he talked about how good he was as a punt returner high school and he, there was a clip involved, but kid had four punt returns for touchdowns as a senior in high school. He's a very dynamic punt returner. I don't know that he'll be the starter, but he'll definitely be in the top two in my opinion. And I think at some point in time, he will field a punt for some reason or the other. You know, maybe they think he gives them a, the best chance at, at fielding a punt, you know, maybe great, maybe phase ons a little nicked up. There's going to be some reason why he'll be, he'll, he'll, he'll, he'll see game actions upon returner. I don't know that he'll be the starting punt returner, but your submission says he'll be in the top two. I agree with Salty. He'll be in the top two. I think at some point in time, he does field a punt and his submission says, or not whether or not he's the principal punt returner. He doesn't have to be the principal punt returner. Somebody said sell, he thinks it'll be phase on the submission allows for phase on still be number one, but that we will see him and, and, and be impressive. He just reminded me, he had four touchdowns out of only 16 punt returns, which is a very, very impressive statistic. One thing Jaden Greathouse proved in high school and proved it noted aim last year. That young man knows how to get into the end zone. There's no doubt about that. Do it to it by so hold. I should bet the mortgage on Riley Leonard pulling off the Joper Ho Parley Heisman winner Natty and number one overall pick, selling the heck out of that because you should never bet your mortgage. I'm not a big gambling fan, period. I have played the occasional game of roulette at the Atlantic City and in Las Vegas, but that's about it. I'm not a huge, I don't bet on sports. I don't know that I've ever laid down a bet on sports other than maybe like in college when I was with dorm mates, you know, like I'll bet you, you know, I used to eat monster burgers my freshman year. You guys remember those monster burgers from Hardee's? I'd have bet me of a, I bet you a monster burger maybe that Denver beats the Packers in the Super Bowl. That's the extent of my, my betting. So you never, never do that in my opinion, just my, my, my, my personal opinion on that one. Never bet the mortgage on that. Even if you think Riley Leonard's going to pull that off, but if, you know, if you're dead set that that's going to happen, then, then you, you know, God bless you on that one, buddy. But I don't see him. I don't see Riley Leonard having the same God given ability that Joe Burrow had. He's very talented. I don't think he has the arm Joe Burrow had. I think Joe Burrow has a more arm talent. Riley's the more dynamic athlete, more dynamic runner, but you know, I also don't know that I see Riley Leonard emerging as the number one overall pick. I will say this, however, if Riley Leonard wins the Heisman and if Riley Leonard leads Notre Dame to a national championship, I don't think it would be out of our minds to say that he could eventually jump up to the number one pick. I mean, I, honestly, who had like going into last year, nobody was shocked that Caleb Williams developed into the normal pick. I personally wasn't shocked that Drake May rose up to the be the number three pick. I wasn't shocked that, that Bo Nix played like a first round pick. I wasn't shocked that Michael Pennix played into the first round or shocked him was pick number eight, who had Jaden Daniels emerging to be the number two overall draft pick on their bingo cards going into last year. I sure didn't. I thought he was going to be a good player, but I didn't see him becoming the number two overall pick. And if it wasn't for having a guy like K Williams, he'd have been obviously number one. So, you know, certainly, certainly it, that could happen if the first two happened, no doubt. Who had Joe Burrow being the number one overall pick going into 2019? I don't know that many people had that on their bingo cards either. And I was someone who had them being a playoff team that year and still didn't still didn't go there. So, yeah, I don't feel great about that one, but I mean, stranger things have happened. By so hold from P Hamilton, 16 Notre Dame would finish fourth in the SEC this year, replaced Notre Dame with Florida in the SEC, used their schedule. Well, why do I have to use their schedule? No, I think if Notre Dame was in the SEC, they finished probably third. That's where I have them in the preseason rankings. I think it's third or fourth, you know, you give them that schedule. I mean, that's a tough schedule, but I think Notre Dame would finish in the top three in the SEC. Absolutely. I think this is a much better team. I think than you think that they are, if you think that they would finish fourth. But yeah, Notre Dame would finish third in the Big Ten this year, replaced Notre Dame with UCLA in the Big Ten. And I definitely, I disagree with that as well. I think Notre, yeah, I mean, again, it just, let's say we give Notre Dame USC schedule. I'll play your game, right? Let's go to UCLA schedule. Let's go to UCLA schedule this year. Okay. So I went to the Pac-12, so yeah, it still hasn't sunk into me that they're in the Big Ten. UCLA is in the Big Ten. I'm trying to find their schedule. So let's go with their schedule. So conference schedule for UCLA this year, they play Indiana at home, win. They play Oregon at home. I think Notre Dame would beat Oregon at home. I'm going to skip their next game. They play Minnesota at home. They play Rutgers on the road, win. They play Nebraska on the road. I think that's a win. They play Iowa at home. That's a win. They play at Washington. I think that's a win. And they play USC at home. I think that would be the win. That they would have in conference or the question is, Oregon is going to be the toughest game. The next toughest game would be UCLA plays Oregon at home and then Penn State and back to back games. That would be tough. Like, I could see Notre Dame dropping one of those. But the rest of their schedule at home, I mean, in the conference, I think is very manageable, including at Washington. I think it's going to be a good team this year. Notre Dame is a significantly better team than Washington. They get USC at home. That would put Notre Dame to me, potentially in the big 10 title game. So no, I don't think they'd finished third in that one. So yeah, I'm going to sell that one. Iden Benami with four super chats, my bad, Iden, four by so holds. First one, you don't mind all the linebackers rotating and frequently. No, I don't mind that at all. Look, the way that teams run offense nowadays, you have to be able to play situational football. You have to be able to have packages that match different things. Some teams are going to be in 12, one series, 10, the next. You have to be prepared to handle that. And you don't just handle that with the same personnel every time. If you've got the elite person, I mean, you could have personnel to do that, but most teams don't. And as good as Notre Dame's defense is, I don't think there's just one defensive personnel grouping that they can just put on the field and say, okay, we can handle everything as well as possibly needed with this personnel package. You've got to have different things you can do. The other thing too, is when you have a lot of talented linebackers with varying skill sets, good coaches find ways to utilize them. So am I a fan of, you know, just constantly rotating every other series? Not really. I think you need to get in the flow of the game as a line. I think linebackers a lot like, you know, quarterback, it's a lot like wide receiver. It's a lot like corner where, yeah, you can rotate. But there needs to be some level of, I got to get into the flow of the game and I can't do that if I'm constantly running in and out all the time. But as far as like packages and then also some rotations, yeah, I'm all for using a lot of those guys. Because how do you justify not playing Jaden Allsperry? How do you justify not playing Kingston, Villiamma, Asa? How do you justify not playing Jaylen's need in some capacity? It's a tough one. You've got to take advantage of that. And then also the fact that you're playing 16 games this year, if you want to win a title, you need to make sure your guys are fresh throughout the year. So definitely a fan of that so I'm buying that. So, yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah.
