Have you heard about the 2018 study that showed half of prenatal vitamins tested had unacceptable levels of heavy metals? No? Well, now you have. I'm Kat, mother of three and founder of Ritual, the company making traceability the new standard in the supplement industry. I remember staring at my prenatal vitamins and finding all these things I was trying to avoid. High amounts of heavy metals, synthetic colorants, and unnecessary ingredients. So, at four months pregnant I quit my job and started ritual because I believe that all women deserve to know what they're putting in their bodies and why. I'm so proud of our prenatal vitamin. The ingredients are 100% traceable, it's third-party tested for microbes and heavy metals, and recently received the purity award from the Clean Label Project. You see, we trace like a mother because, let's be honest, no one cares quite like a mother. But don't just take my word for it, trace for yourself with 25% off at virtual.com/preneal. Let's go to We In, We Out. We got some good questions here tonight, Jess, from our subscribers on the new Champions Lounge. So, that's where you put in the questions for We In, We Out. Leon Fartz says We In, We Out. Gerbie Lambert makes his way into the starting lineup before the end of the year, not due to injury. Interout on that, Jesse. I'm going to say, I don't think he's going to pass up NAP unless Emil Wagner does something catastrophic. I think they're pretty set, and I think if there were any question, the only way that this could be a possibility, in my opinion, is if they had a complete, you know, bad performance against Texas A&M. But I think everyone was very pleased. Obviously, there's still stuff to work on, but I think they're set with the group that they have. I think so as well. I know Marcus Freeman has said what's best in game one is not necessarily what's going to be the best for the middle of the season, but I am out on this as well just because they never would have started a true freshman and a red shirt freshman on the left side of the line together in that road environment if they didn't think that they're more than just a one-game answer. I think like if a one-game answer is like you stick with the veterans, you stick with either Coogan or Spindler, and you put Taj Baker out there, and then you make changes after that. So I don't like that doesn't mean that Gerby Lambert is not going to develop, but if this is not due to injury, I'm going to be out and say that the guys who are starting their Wagner on the right, NAP on the left will remain the starters. But again, we are going to find out more about these guys over the next three weeks and exactly exactly how good they are or aren't. From, man, we got some really creative handles today. Michigan can suck it. We in and we out. If Notre Dame's starting offensive line is healthy, this year there'll be a Joe Moore award finalist in her out on that. So is finalists like the final five? Yeah, that is like you make it to the end before the winner is crowned. They were a semi-finalist last year. I'll just say we in for the fun of it, because I think that, you know, they did well against Texas A&M. If they if they protect Riley Leonard and continue not to give up that many sacks, if they're able to, you know, have the kind of run game that they did also, you know, they've known him rush for a lot of yards in that game against Texas A&M. So if they can continue to combine, you know, that sort of power run game, not a lot of pressure sacks given up, then, then, yeah, I would have to because again, that's the best defensive line that they're going to face this season. And so, you know, there's going to be other good ones, but nowhere near as good as Texas A&M and they're going to have some good opportunities against the Miami's of Ohio's Northern Illinois Purdue Navy. Like, there's going to be a lot out there to kind of put some meat on the resume. So again, to me, it's like a toss up, but for the fun of it, I'll go we in. I'm going to go out. I just think that, like, when you look at last year's line, which again, it had two NFL tackles starting on it, one of top five pick. If all they did was get to the semi finals on a team that scored the kind of points that it did and did everything last year. If that's as far as they can be, you know, now some of it is relative because it's, you know, it's like this year's line is not competing against the competition of last year's line. It's, you know, a different season and everything. But I'm just going to go out. I think that they have a chance to be really good. Some of the competition they face could skew things because of the numbers and things like that between rushing yards and potential lack of sacks. But I'm going to go out. I'm going to say semi finalist, like in that range again, as a, as a ceiling for this group. Um, I'm not even going to be just a lot of letters there in the handle. I see it from BV. Yeah. If, okay, BC for, okay. BC for BV. If Notre Dame can start stretching defenses vertically, these two running backs will have monster years and the tight ends will become dominant. And then, Mm, BC from BV. I love this question because this is a big in for me. I mean, look what they did against Texas A&M with those loaded boxes like Texas A&M was asking Notre Dame to throw the ball downfield and beat them. So the more you open up that passing game. I mean, look at what love and Jadarion price did to these linebackers against Texas A&M, right? Like at the second level against loaded boxes. It's only going to get better as, as the passing game opens up. And I do agree to the tight ends will become more dominant because you're going to hit them on those scene, scene routes. Those corner routes like that, that plays it on the whiteboard the other day, we're flanking and got open. That's going to be a big staple in their, in their playbook. It's just, their whole offense, the more they can stretch the ball downfield, the better it's going to be in every aspect. And that's basically next level. It's what we want to see this weekend. And if we see anything short of that, I think there's going to be some frustration next week. But I'm definitely in on this. It just, the more vertical they can get, the more it opens everything up from Riley Leonard's running to the running backs running. And like you said, the tight ends as well. And, you know, again, like we haven't even seen a completely healthy pitch 11s yet. So rule 34 artists says we got a bunch of downhill run blockers on the offensive line. I do agree. They are better run blockers than they are past blockers. But this isn't a problem in my opinion, because look at how much they wore on Texas A&M by the time the fourth quarter come. By the time the fourth quarter came, they won that game in the fourth quarter because they were dominating in the run blocking and allowing their running backs to, you know, to hit some holes. So I'm, I'm all for that. And I know that's the identity Marcus Freeman wants to. He wants them to move the line and be able to run the ball. I had a sneeze coming on and I'm trying to hold it off right now. And I think there again, I think because of who they're going to play, they're going to have a chance to, to sort of organically get better as past blockers as well because they're just not going to sit like Louisville is the next time they could see anything close to what they saw against Texas A&M in terms of the kind of pressure they're going to get in that kind of stuff. DJ a simple handle says we in and we out and jelly enters the game in the last four minutes of the third quarter. I'm going to say we out. I think the starters will be in the entire third quarter. I think, I think Marcus Freeman is still, you know, based on his comments this week, I still think he wants to see a lot out of his team. And I think you naturally, you know, to me, I'm this early in the season, I'm, I would more so lean lean on we need to get our starters that good game value valuable experience, even if you're kind of dominating. So I see it more as a fourth quarter thing. I'm going to say in, I think that if they're up by four plus touchdowns or maybe north of four touchdowns by late in the third quarter, I think they will make that switch and you know, Leonard's history also plays into this as well. So I want to keep that guy in there, you know, you don't want him in there any longer than possible. Yep. Yep. Yep. So I'm going to go in on that. Lily Napier doesn't last the season at Florida in or out. Um, is this contract up this season. No, he signed through 2028. I was going to say I thought it was longer. That's a lot of that's a lot of years to pay. Yeah. Let me look at, let me look at Florida schedule again real quick two or more years to pay for going to get rid of Billy Napier. And it's not a cheap clip either. But that's their fault, you know, for, for giving him that kind of contract and Andrew says, 25 million is his buyout. I'm going to say, I'm going to say out, I think he does last through this season. I think he's got this season and next season to get it turned. I think that he is at best. Unless this turns into some total disaster this year. If he starts losing to Samford and UCF and, you know, Florida State at the end of the season, I don't, I see this team as. You know, probably a seven and five type team, right, like eight and four is probably the best that they're going to do. And with that buyout, I just, I don't think that they're going to can him this soon. But if he has another mediocre season next year. Then definitely, if he doesn't make a bowl game this season, then I think that he could probably be done at the end of the season. But I don't see a mid season boot quite yet. I don't either. And one says he's in with Angeli being in in the third quarter with six minutes left. So DJ says four minutes and one says, so do we need to set it over under on the minute mark that like we need to be in. Sounds like it.

For a whole new way to nug, it's got to be Wendy's at participating U.S. Wendy's. Interout both love and price have a thousand yards from scrimmage this season. This is an easy in for me because between receiving and rushing, I definitely think they both get a thousand yards from scrimmage. That obviously doesn't mean rushing, but rushing receiving combined, I'm in on that for sure. I'm two, two, two, two, two, one second. I'm going to say definitely on Jeremiah Love. Jadarion price, Jadarion price, going to be close. I don't think he's going to be a thousand yard rusher. I don't, so I'm going to have to say he's going to catch some passes as well. He'll get some here and there. But I mean, that means he's got probably, you know, like, what's, let me pull out a calculator real quick on my computer. I think we need to, we probably should revisit this next week because I think they're both going to have really big days Saturday. So he only needs, that's only 80 yards from scrimmage every game between past or receiving. I just don't know if both those guys are going to be close to 100 yard rushers every game. I know that they're going to get split carries. I know Jeremiah Love gets help because he gets receiving yards, but it's going to be really close. I think I lean. Jadarion price is going to bust runs all year again against this schedule. Look at the, look at the, look at the run that he had against Texas A&M for the. So my question becomes, you're going to be common. You're going to see a lot of those runs from both of those guys this year. My question becomes though, when they get into blowout situations, do they, do they, do they, do they, is that mean it's, you know, Devin Ford and Aneas Williams time? Or does Jadarion Price still get some of that mop up duty with the second string offense? That's the only thing I'm worried about is when they start blowing some of these teams out, are they both coming out or is just love coming out? Like who's, if Jadarion Price is staying on the field for, you know, the whole game and all of these games, I definitely think so. But if he gets pulled out with love, I have a harder time believing so. I don't think he will stay in for the whole game, but I could see him getting an extra series or two. Maybe after love is done as they're working in Aneas Williams and maybe Kiedrin Young and, and that kind of thing. So I'm going in, you can stay out if you want. I'm, I'm going in on it, because again, like don't discount Jadarion Price as a pass catcher either. I mean, he's not going to have massive receiving numbers, but I could see him having around 150 or so yards at the end of the year, which means all he has to do is get to 850 in rushing. And then like you said, you know, like what's that, what's the simple math on that? He's going to have a couple hundred yard rushing games this year, at least. Book it. Book it. These are one of those things that we need to, we need to go to like the, the T and T, the Charles Barkley guarantees were Ernie Johnson writes them down on sticky notes. You need a sticky note board. You need a sticky note board for all of these, these predictions. Especially for events. Maybe you should get the sticky note board. Okay. Doma Gris, the defense not allowing, by the way, your dogs are mad at you for having the wrong answer on that question. The defense not allowing any explosive plays of 20 plus yards is a bigger deal than the offensive line not giving up sacks. That's what was against. I'm, I'm assuming he means last week against Texas A&M. So I think these have equal weight, but I'm going to have to say out because we know how good the defense is. We don't, we didn't know how good the offensive line was and how they would respond at Kyle Fields. And I, to be honest with you, I wasn't sold on Wigman either. You know, like he got all this hype. I, I needed to be bought in, right? I, I expected more of what Notre Dame did and would have been more surprised if they would have had the 20 plus yard place. So I'm just going to have to say we out and I, I'm going to say I'm, I think it's a bigger deal with the offensive line did. I'm out because I said going in again, if you listen to the Ivy Countdown to kickoff show. Explosive plays and the team that was going to be able to make explosive plays. I felt like it was going to be a big factor in this game. So now if you just say, was it a factor that A&M didn't hit explosive plays? Sure. It was a factor, but I, I felt like Notre Dame between the two teams was going to have the much better chance because of the kind of players they have. I've, I felt like they were going to have the much better chance to hit the explosive play. So I think that again, in a close game, ultimately, the offensive line, that young offensive line, not giving up sacks, was a, was a bigger deal last week. What was that? I missed that the sticky notes board is already full from stuff with Vince. Yeah. All of Vince's absolutes are up on the sticky note. He needs to be held accountable to his, his success rate on those, on those, those type of situations. Joe Allen with multiples in or out Northern Illinois will have fewer total yards than Texas A&M. And I believe A&M had, what did they have, 240 some yards last week, 246 yards is what they had last week. So well, Northern Illinois have fewer than 246 this week. And they had over 700 yards against Western Illinois last week, but Western Illinois is not on Golden's defense. So I am in on this as well. I think that they'll be right around 200 total yards in that ballpark. Right, Leonard, we'll have 225 passing yards and 75 rushing yards with three total TDs between passing and rushing in around on that. I'm out. I'll take the 225 passing. I will not take the, the overset or the 75 and over rushing. He had 12 carries for 63 yards last week. I think that the goal this week would to not be to run him as much. I think you're going to allow him to kind of recover in a sense. I still think you might see a couple here and there. And then the total touchdowns, I would set the line at two and a half. I think that's a tough number. I think we're going to see some touchdowns in the air this week. I think it's a matter of, you know, does he get a rushing touchdown or not? Or maybe he gets three passing touchdowns. You know what, they're going to put up a lot of points. I'm going to say and on this one. Oh, you talked yourself into it. After the only one I'm not going to buy is the 75 rushing yards. I mean, that's the one for me because I think that like the only way that he gets the 75 rushing yards is if there's some pressure or just a big one. Yeah, that's what I was in the process of saying he takes off and there's a big long run. And that gets him either 75, you know, all at once or, you know, a majority of the 75 because I just don't think we're going to say I don't think they want him running as much this week. I think they want him kind of working on that passing game and doing that. So I do think the passing yards will be up. I like the touchdown number. That's what you said, like two and a half is the perfect over under number on that. I just don't like the rushing yards because because I just don't think that that's what they, I don't think that's the game plan this week. I don't think they want him running as much. And finally, in or out two and a half is a good over under set for interceptions for this game. And say in, I mean, they created two off of Wigman last week. I think we're starting to get spoiled, right? We're just assuming interceptions. But maybe, maybe you could say one and a half, but I have a good idea. You know, if they do what they're supposed to, they're going to have to Northern Illinois is going to have to start passing the ball. Their name is going to really get into some nice coverages on the back end. And I think torment him. So I think two interceptions is almost a lock and three is definitely a good, you know, maybe. So yeah, I agree, two and a half. Yeah. So if you're setting the number two and a half is the perfect number to set it at. I think they've got a really good shot of getting at least two. Then the question will be, can they get the third? So. Yeah, I would like to see more pressures this week out of the defensive line. I do agree with that. Yes. Another one from DJ in or out the Irish set. This is our house tone with a 33 plus point win. This gets into kind of final score predictions, but I will. I'm going to say we in because the line right now I saw was 28 and a half, I think of most recent. I think they're going to cover that. And again, that means that they're probably going to be up, you know, between the 30 35 point, maybe even 40 point range. So, and I think and jelly still can lead a really good potent offensive. He's getting in there. I mean, we saw it in the bowl game victory. So, I'm going to say we and I think this is definitely a 30 point plus win. I'm in as well. I'm trying to remember exactly what my prediction was where I put their names points, but it is right around this ballpark. So I will go for it. I will say in on this. I think it's going to end up being pretty lopsided. Oh, man. I always love everyone's bold predictions for scores against these type of opponents. Well, you just allow yourself to get let down in some regards, especially if, you know, theme and common trends of the past are going to kind of continue to hold true. You know, it's it is important to remember there were a lot of people predicting a lopsided win for Notre Dame last week as well. So, take the rose colored glasses off. Take the shamrock colored glasses off. And, you know, but I mean, this week, obviously a lot more reason for that kind of optimism. Bracketed cover three in or out. Riley Leonard is invited to New York at the end of the season. That would be for the Heisman Trophy ceremony. How many guys get invited five? It depends on the voting. You can have like, it depends on how the voting, the voting sort of clumps up. Like, if you have four guys who are close together, you could have four. I think that I think that four is the limit. I don't know if they've ever had five, you know, or it could be as few as three. Like, if there's a big drop off between the third vote getter and the fourth vote getter. I'll say in because I think Notre Dame is going to knock on wood. They're going to have an undefeated season. They're going to host a playoff game. That's largely going to, you know, the quarterback is what gets you the national attention. And I think as Riley Leonard, as long as he keeps up some passing numbers and they start to open up the, you know, the passing game, I think that'll ultimately get him. You know, the Heisman, if you can be that true dual threat quarterback guy, you can give you, you know, 50 plus yards on the ground, a game at minimum, over 200 passing yards a game at minimum. And they have the success that we think they do. I think it's hard to turn down someone like him, especially when you're the quarterback at Notre Dame. I am in kind of for DJs reasoning, 12 and 0 Notre Dame quarterback is getting votes. You're right. You know, it didn't help Ian book out that much, but I think he's better than book. Yeah, exactly. I think you're going to see more highlight plays of him actually doing things that are going to help him out. I do think that it helps a little bit anyway that there was a lot of national spotlight on the Texas A&M game and people were watching that game a lot of the ESPN people were obviously there. I am a little concerned just in, you know, in terms of, you always talk about that Heisman moment, basically his best chance for that, based on the schedule, is not going to come until the very end out at USC Thanksgiving weekend. Like that will be kind of it because again, you know, like there aren't those, there aren't those big kind of hurdles to clear in this schedule. You know, but I will say in because I do still think he's going to have a big season and he plays for Notre Dame and there'll be a lot of attention that comes with it. In and out, defensive in Bryce Young, I think that's who he meant, but he said Bryant because, you know, Bryant's son Bryce, defensive in Bryce Young's reps increase in every game, making him an impact player at some point during the season. I think his reps might increase naturally because of the kind of opponents that they're going to play, but as of right now, RJ Oben and Josh Burnham are one two for a reason. Burnham was seeing considerable playing time last week and he played well too. Yeah, now like RJ Oben kind of flew beneath the radar a little bit. Javante John Baptiste didn't, you know, like the world on fire the minute he came in. Last year either I think Oben was solid last week and he'll continue to play. You're going to see more of Young because he's part of the rotation and because he's going to have late opportunities in some of these games over the next month or so. Yeah, I'm in on reps increase, but I'm out on kind of impact. I don't think he's going to be an impact player quite yet. You know, again, like Andrew says, if if Oben continues with the disappearing act. Remember, it's one game, one game. It was Texas A&M. He's going to have some opportunities to, you know, to, to continue to play. But don't, don't, don't write him off after one game. Interrupt the Northern Illinois quarterback is a greater threat throwing and running than Wigman of Texas A&M. I'll have to go out because Hampton, the Northern Illinois quarterback had a nice 300 yard passing game and five touchdowns last week, but he doesn't run much. So I'm going to go out on that. I think, I think the running will actually be less than Wigman and they tried to run Wigman a little bit last week. Tommy. Okay, we in or we out. College power five only fantasy football, but instead of drafting individual players, you draft different or the same teams, whole position group starters and all backups on both sides of the ball. What do you think about that? I'm out. I think NFL fantasy drafts is enough for me to keep up with. And I think it's, it's just something that the pros should I can't even bet on college player props right now in the state of Ohio. So the last thing I'm concerned about is a college fantasy football team. Yeah, I'm going to go out on that as well, drafting the entire position group. You know, he says example Notre Dame's cornerbacks Ohio State's safety Southern Cals receivers that might get a little bit complicated at that point. Turn around the bow show will once again shine even brighter and Notre Dame's top as Notre Dame's top pass catcher this week. I'll say out on this week, because I think you're going to see more, you know, like phase on is going to be out. So I think you're naturally going to see, I think you're going to see more of that younger core. And I'm going to see Riley land really leaned on bow in those big moment high lever situations because he's the experienced wide receiver in the room. But I will say, I might be in on this of him being top pass pass catcher by the end of the season, not not maybe for this game but I think into the season it's going to be between him and great house. So I think that like when you look at how the snap counts came out last week I think those two are going to have the most production this season. And I'll just, I'll just say yeah to Bo Collins because I think that he will be he looks like he's option number one right now because of his experience, his savvy his route running all those different things. Like what connection Riley Leonard has with any of these guys I think that that maybe he's got a little bit more with Collins because of Collins experience and that's part of why you saw him go to Collins there late in the game I mean he went to great house as well for a big catch they obviously scheme that sucker up though so I'll say yeah I think that that ultimately Bo Collins is going to be the leader of the pack again one thing is going to be a concerted effort to get great house more into the mix this game. Okay. All right. We shall see that. Salty get a little salty get a little defensive there that we're looking in my window somewhere what's going on right now. The following scores by quarter this Saturday 17 nothing 27 to 3 44 to 3 54 to 10 not point scored each quarter but that'll be the score at the end of each quarter. I mean I have to say out because that statistics like if this happens that's like a one in you know like the odds of predicting the exact score every quarter is kind of nuts but I like the progression I'm seeing here. I don't agree I don't think I don't think Northern Illinois is going to score a touchdown to be honest with you really okay I don't think so. I mean I have them scoring a touchdown but I did kind of like go back on myself and like do I really think that they're going to score a touchdown will they even get a field goal you know like. I don't think that they're going to score a touchdown they might get a couple field goals so I do see a touchdown in there so I'm going to say out. And I don't know if Notre Dame puts up a 50 burger either so I know I see like a 40 that's 40 something to six type score. Yeah like I'm out as well because I think that they score in the 40s but I don't have them getting to 50 either. Like you're maybe a touchdown touchdown and a half. I'll tell you this the only way they get to 50 is that the defense creates some like pick sixes or like fumbles that go for a touchdown like there's going to have to be more than just the offense scoring points if they get to 50. J.G. Young J.G. Y. Town maybe Young Town I don't know Youngstown in or out Notre Dame will lead college football and takeaways this season. They'll be up there. I'll say Alex I think it's hard. It's hard to be the best it's probably going to be some. Let me see if I can find it. It feels like it's like a smaller school you know that would end up with that. I'm going to go out. I'm just going to say out. I'm in on top. I think yeah I think that they can be up there in terms of the high national leaders but I think they could be one of the leaders in the time and the power for as well. Sure I would agree with that as well.

We will be joined by the biggest name in sports and talk about everything inside and outside of the lines. Let us guide you through a new era of college football. Watch triple option on YouTube or listen on Apple podcast Spotify or wherever you get podcasts. Also enter out the running back room a rush for over 3000 yards. I'll say out. I think if you included Riley Leonard. Maybe this question does include Riley Leonard. You might get closer to 3000 that's a big number I just looked at last year. They had 2,400 that was between everyone wider anyone who had a rush they only had 2,400 last year. I know to Darien Price will have a better year. But I mean that's I think that's assuming those guys are both over a thousand and Riley Leonard's pushing 7,800 himself. So I just think that's a big number. And I was looking okay so Liberty led the nation in interceptions last year. Bowling Green was 4th Fresno State for you know so like you get a lot of these smaller schools in there. And then in terms of Fumbles recovered Navy is number 2 Syracuse 3 Troy for you know it's just it's very random. It seems like but in terms of the running backs I've got to go out on that. That's a little bit too hot. You know again I think that like like what were we the question before was do they both get 1000 yards. From scrimmage and you were out on that I was in on that but I mean that's only. 2,000 plus yards right there I think that running for 3000. Well I mean. I guess when you throw the entire room in there I just I don't. I don't see it because Riley Leonard's going to take away some of that. I think that that's the numbers just too big. Played like a champion today in or out Adon Schuler was profoundly underrated by most Notre Dame fans when he signed. I be had him the second to last ranked defensive recruit for Notre Dame in his class. For example so you enter out on that. Hmm I don't think he was. I don't think anyone at Notre Dame is profoundly underrated. I don't know it's hard for me to say. It was underrated but profoundly underrated. Maybe a little bit too far. I would agree with that again I the recruiting stuff. I I'm more so like once the guys are here and playing right like I. Maybe if you could say that you didn't expect him to have you know be a starter this early and have this kind of success. Sure. But I mean if you come into play at Notre Dame I think you're doing something right so. I agree with that. I agree with that. I think that they saw you know the level of skill. That he had and you know like we were talking about him early this week and Marcus Freeman was talking about him. Earlier this week with like just what you know what they saw from him you know in terms of the you know his his ability and. You know both ability in a high school and you know like just to be around the ball both both is instinct skill level. The whole thing I think that they felt like you know was he rated as high as he should be. Maybe not but he's developed since he got here and that's what you're looking for too. In or out the Notre Dame offense and he basically said the same question for both the offense and defense. So I'll just read it once you can answer you know both of them. Notre Dame offense and defense will play focused and perform well this week avoiding a post A&M let down. Are you confident that both sides of the ball are going to play well and avoid that let down. Yeah I'm in on that. I'm in on it as well I'm especially in on the defense I think the defense is going to feast. You know I do I have some questions about the offense just in terms of you know what that's going to look like Riley Leonard as the passer and the offensive line pass protection and stuff like that. I still think they'll perform pretty well but I've got enough you know I do have like little kind of nitpicking maybe questions but I will go in on this. He also says Notre Dame will play well enough this week to look good receive positive national media attention and for the second team to play the entire fourth quarter in or out on that. I think they're going to do a lot of good things I don't know about national media attention you only get media attention when you get bad in the big boys. Yeah exactly. You only get you only get media attention in games like this for a bad reason. That's just the way that it is. In or out the college football playoff seasonings are fundamentally flawed by gifting not only a by week to the top four conference championship game winners but also gifting them the top four seeds. While it usually makes sense for the top four seeds to get the by the committee re ranks teams after the conference championships. A number one overall Notre Dame team which stays number one overall even after conference championship weekend should play the extra playoff but still be ahead of a conference champion. Which is four or five in or out on that. I'm just going to go I know what you're saying but I'm going to go out because Jack Swarbrick helped draft right he helped create this format. And the reason that this format works is because Notre Dame gets to remain independent. You know that's what it comes down to you're giving up a first round playoff by for the sake of remaining independent and getting you know like that means a lot to Notre Dame and you get to. You know that's the track that you get to continue down for the foreseeable future so I've got to be out on that because that was the trade off you give up a first round by. And you get to be independent as long as you want to stay independent as long as those other factors that you talk about the TV contract in a place for the other sports are in play. Yeah, I'm out for the same reasons. DK in or out Notre Dame minus 28 I am in on that. I'm in on that. I've got a lot of points being scored in this game over under 45 I am over. Now I have Northern Illinois scoring a little bit more than you it sounds like so it sounds like you're probably right on this number 45. Yeah, I'll go over but just barely. I'm definitely over. Riley Leonard 300 passing yards I've got to be out on that. I don't know. I don't know I think I'm seeing 250 as a ceiling for this game might even be a little lower again like just depending on how this game plays out because I think the running backs are both going to have big games. I think you'll get his passing yards but I don't think that he'll get to 300. Out I think that it's around 275. Okay. So you see 275 I see 250 is the ceiling in around 11 price 250 combined rushing yards out. Going under. Yes, going under. I'm going to be out as well I think it's a little too hot like 200 is probably where I would be right around 200 for my combined total for those two. Over under three plus turnovers. I'll be in. I'm in as well. Jaden Gray House over under 20 yards. Under. Under 20 yards for Jaden Gray House. Really. I'm going over. I think that the great house has himself a pretty solid looking day. I'm going to go over. I'm just giving salty a hard time. Were you surprised like they really didn't for you know like from what they were trying to do in the passing game last week. They really didn't use the middle of the field that much. Did that surprise you at all. Yeah, but I think some route the over the middle routes kind of take a little bit more time to develop in my opinion. So yeah, I'm not surprised. I mean a lot of teams have given up using the middle of the field but I just think that like with a body. Also middle of the field is a lot of traffic as well and I think they wanted to limit you know turnovers and a game that possessions were critical. Big hit. From I am Tenzin. I am the son of Aang. I am the last hope for the air nation. I'm going to enter out someone from the IB team will say my full handle instead of shortening it or saying my user name instead. I'm in on that as we would have it. Uh oh. Salty's here. Salty checking in. Together the bow show and the great one accounted especially if you add the great ones P.I. yards. Half or more of the team's passing receptions and yardage and were the one two punch on the game winning drive. This combo will do the same in the majority of games this season. We were kind of just talking about this. I am in. I think that these two guys are going to be the go to guys in the passing game. I think that they are going to be the primaries in the passing game this season. Yeah, I'm in on that. Maybe that changes a little bit when Mitchell Evans is at 100% but in terms of receivers definitely in on those two. Enter out. If Notre Dame blows out Northern Illinois all the linebackers should stay in the game to get reps with maybe the exception of Jack Kaiser. Um I would say. I mean it's hard to say because like their whole like linebacker core is playing regardless like who are you going to put in that. That you know like I don't even know who their third string linebackers technically are. I think when you're playing well they're playing technically the third. Yeah, that's what I mean. So I'm just gonna have to say out I think this core of linebackers is consistently like there's really no one else behind them. You know like I don't know. I think that when you're rotating as much as them this is the main group you're going to see most of the time. I think so as well like maybe you see like KVA out there. And Jayden Osbury is next to him for a majority of snaps at the end just because those are the two. You know least experienced intern you know like KVA obviously being a true freshman in Osbury even though. Drake Bowen doesn't have much more experience just the fact that Drake Bowen is a little bit higher in the pecking order. It seems like in terms of his position and the snaps that he got and stuff last week. There just aren't that many other linebackers that they have so somebody's got to stay out there.
