The most dynamic player on that field was not mentioned. Jeremiah love is special. Jadarian price is special. Best backfield in the country

[@JonathanKitchens]

It's almost stunning that a tandem of backs as good as Love and Price get skipped "because IU is second in yards per rush." As if that magically neutralizes Love and the OL. Pretty sure that's not an adjusted stat either, which means you're rewarded for stacking stats vs cupcakes.

​@@JonathanKitchens Yea, Army was giving up 83 rush ypg before ND. They left Yankee Stadium after giving up 273 on the ground in a game when the dogs were called off early. Not to mention ND played backup D, which allowed Army's 1st team to drive, score late, and keep the ball away from the Irish.

[@douglascarlson9006]

A few points of clarification here ... 1) GIFT #1: IU not only fumbled a snap on a punt, but that snap was actually fumbled IN THE RAIN on the 5 YARD LINE! 2) GIFT #2: That punt return for a TD by OSU happened when CIg wanted the punt to go to the right but was kicked to the left. 3) GIFT #3: That last TD by OSU was made possible on a very short field after IU botched an onside kick that went out of bounds. As an IU fan, I'd actually like to see IU play OSU again on a neutral field.

[@Dmob17]

Big ND fan here and I agree with you. I thought IU OSU could’ve easily been a much different game. Lots of bad breaks for IU otherwise I think they’d have been right in that game and maybe even won. This will be a really tough game for the Irish.

IU is not a big play team and I doubt their ability to come back against a physical team if they go down 10 pts ... but I just hope the weather is stable ... and I remember my dad taking me to see ND blow out OK in 1966 ... back then that stadium only held 60K ... but what is the seating capacity now? ... 80k, right?

@@douglascarlson9006 just under 80k. But honestly ND fans are so bad about selling their tickets to visiting fans. There will be plenty of red in the stadium, don’t worry. My concern for the Irish is how depleted we are. Injuries have been a major issue for us this year. Obviously I’m pulling for the Irish but believe me, If IU wins, I’ll be rooting for them the rest of the way.

[@thatmechanicguy1993]

Also Ohio state couldn’t run on IU. Held them to the lowest offense totals all year.

[@Dmob17]

@ if Indiana can force Notre dame to throw the ball, we’re in big trouble. Also, USC used it against ND, but I don’t know why more teams don’t call screen plays more often against Notre Dame. We’ve been vulnerable to the screen every game. We blitz so much that the screen is also there. I see Indiana forcing ND to throw and then utilizing the screen against them to great success. I was really hoping to get a team from the south up to Indiana in December but that’s all nullified against IU. Could see the Irish’s playoff run end early this year. Honestly the way I see it, even if we do win, the next game is against Georgia, and there’s no way ND is winning that game, so it’s essentially just a game to see who gets to lose to the eventual national champ 😂

[@lantzkulp]

All respect to these guys but I think they kept harping on IU’s run defense. “Make Riley beats us with his arm” is the same philosophy most teams tried against after the NIU loss. ND’s run game is the foundation of their offense. You want to fight in a phone booth? Fine. They done that against A&M, Army, Navy, and arguably Georgia Tech. ND needs to establish the run early. If they do that, they will win the game. IU’s offense is okay. ND’s defense is elite. If your plan is to run the ball, ND will win. If you want to throw, QB needs to get the ball out quickly because ND stunts almost every play. This will be a fun in-state game but ND will get the W at the end of the day.

As an Indiana fan at that OSU game, they looked like they got troubled with the noise and didn't adjust as well in game as I'd hoped. I trust cig to learn from his mistakes and make this game more competitive by adjusting quicker and understanding how to address the noise (like a silent count). Also not spotting Notre Dame 14 would be good lol

[@irvinglambert9316]

Notre Dame stadium isn't that loud, especially compared to the shoe. IU has a lot of wealthy alumni, and South Bend locals/Notre Dame "fans" love to flip tickets for cash. There will probably be more red in the stadium than you'd expect. Crowd noise should be the last thing IU is worrying about. Al Golden loves to blitz, and Indiana really got behind against Ohio State when consistent pressure was brought. Can IU's OL hold up against Notre Dame's front 7 is what will determine the game. The two times IU has played against teams with top tier fronts, they haven't looked great.

[@noahwert9970]

@irvinglambert9316 yeah I'm worried about that too. I figure they are going to adjust the gameplan to more screens and rpos than at Ohio State. Also try not to get away from running it as much outside the tackles to try and keep them honest in the run fits on a blitz

[@tonyevans63]

With all due respect, I don't mean to keep picking on you guys and I mean, I tried really hard not to comment this time, but your lack of research and knowledge just make you look Ignorant at times, so you leave me no choice! For starters, have you ever heard of Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price? They are arguably the most talented and best backfield in all of college football!! Yes, that includes being better then Ohio States backfield! Ohio States backfield is the more popular backfield based on name! However, based on facts, stats, truth and actual evidence, Notre Dame has the better backfield and that isn't even including Riley Leonard, who is one of the best running quarterbacks in the entire nation! Notre Dames 3 headed monster element, along with a very good and physical offensive line, that is yes, better then Ohio States, makes Notre Dame very dangerous! Once again, this is all based off of facts and truth over bias feelings! I will admit, Ohio State has better receivers then Notre Dame, but Ohio State has better receivers then just about anyone in the nation! However, Notre Dame has the better tight ends, the better offensive line, arguably the better defense, but it is close and yes as good as Ohio States backfield is, I would take Notre Dames backfield over Ohio States any day of the week! Ohio State's backfield might be more popular from a name standpoint, but not form a stats or even eye test standpoint! Here is some actual proof of evidence! Ohio States backfield of Quinshon Judkins ran for a total of 805 yards on the season and an average of 5.5 yards per carry and 8 tds! Treveyon Henderson ran for a total of 751 yards on the season and an average of 7.0 yards per carry and 6 tds! If you combine both running backs together that gives them a grand total of 1,556 rushing yards on the season and 14 total touchdowns combined! Now, lets look at Notre Dames backfield combo of Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price! Jeremiyah Love ran for a total of 949 yards on the season and an awesome average of 7.1 yards per carry and a whopping 15 tds on the season, along with tons of amazing highlight runs on film! Jadarian Price only carried the ball 89 times on the season, but ran for 651 yards on the season and an amazing 7.3 yards per carry and 7 tds, along with a bunch of breakaway highlight reel touchdown runs! If you combine both of Notre Dames running backs together that gives them a grand total of 1,600 rushing yards on the season and 22 total touchdowns on the season! So, Notre Dames running back tandem ran for more total yards on the season then Ohio States running back tandem! Also, Notre Dames running back tandem had a better yards per carry average then Ohio States backfield tandem and lastly, Notre Dame's backfield had more total touchdowns on the season then Ohio States backfield tandem! Nothing else needs to be said, other then that isn't even including Notre Dame's other biggest rushing weapon in quarterback Riley Leonard! As another rushing threat, Notre Dames quarterback Riley Leonard adds another 721 total rushing yards on the season, along with a 5.8 yards per carry average and a whopping 14 rushing touchdowns! Just facts! From a defensive standpoint, it is debatable who has the better defense between Notre Dame and Ohio State! It is close either way, but we can all admit that both defenses are really good and are top 10 to 5ish defenses in the entire nation! One more correction, you guys ask who has Notre dame beat on their schedule? I am not saying it is the toughest schedule in the world, but to be fair it is much tougher then Indiana's schedule and Notre Dame often gets unfairly critiqued over their schedule because even though the schedule isn't a juggernaut schedule, it is still much more difficult then what the media gives them credit for and I will once again, use facts to back up my point! For starters, Notre Dame beat 4 ranked teams to Indiana's 0! Also, you guys stated that from a record standpoint, an 8-4 Texas A&M team was Notre Dames best victory! Now, even though beating a good ranked SEC team on the road, in a hostile environment, to start the season was an impressive victory, it still wasn't Notre Dames best victory from a pure record standpoint! You guys left out the fact that Notre Dame beat a ranked 11-1 Army team, that won 11 games on the year and they won their conference, while finishing undefeated in their conference! Notre Dame was the only team on the year to give Army a loss! There is a big difference between Notre Dame and Indiana's schedule/resume! Notre Dame played a grand total of 8 teams on their schedule with at least 6 wins or better and are going bowling! Notre Dame beat 7 teams on their schedule with at least 6 wins or better and 5 of those teams has at least 8 wins or better! Doesn't sound like a weak schedule to me! On top of that, I am not even counting their 1 single loss to NIU, who even though everyone wants to beat up Notre Dame for losing to them, NIU is still a 7 win team and bowl bound! So, even though NIU was a bad loss, they aren't a terrible team! On the other hand, Indiana beat 0 ranked teams and they played only 4 teams with at least 6 wins or better and they lost to one of those four teams! On top of that, IU lost to the only ranked team they played on the year! SO, the fact that you guys even act like their schedules/records are close and comparable is just lazy, Ignorant and foolish! It really isn't close from that standpoint! I believe Notre Dame is the better football team, but we will see on December 20th! All I am saying is, get the facts straight! Oh and you are right Notre Dame isn't Ohio State, Notre Dame is better! Go Irish! God Bless you all!!!

ND, 13 sacks allowed all season, National Rank #24 and 224.8 average rushing yards a game ranked #10 while playing 5 teams that rank in the top 50 for rushing yards against. I think the OL is very fine. Meanwhile Ohio State ran for 116 yards against IU and averages 169 yards a game ranked 59th in the country in rushing. Indiana didn't play a single team whose top 50 in rushing and only 2 teams in the top 100 in rushing and lost one game and nearly lost the other to those two teams. Indiana's run defense as #1 is a complete joke since they didn't play a single good running team all year. ND will run for 200+ yards with that small OL.

The difference between Ohio state and ND is that ND can actually run the football lmao

[@brendenstyre4784]

Y’all Riley has only thrown 5 ints this year. 2 of them were NIU

[@franknorton8168]

Does IU lose to NIU? No, they would’ve. Has ND played anyone with the offensive firepower and Defense that IU has? Close but….no. Prediction(and ND is my second favorite team): IU beats them 32-28. The Cinderella lives to see Georgia and shocks the world!

[@crodgers1011]

Other than osu, Indiana hasn't seen a top 60 offense

[@Badbandanaman]

What number 2 for OSU did. That will be Love and Price all day. Its gonna be a rough one for IU.. i see it going 42-17

[@thatmechanicguy1993]

WTF are you talking about? If ND rushes like Ohio state did ND is in for a long night. Number 2 isn’t even a running back. Judkins had 36 yards.

[@Badbandanaman]

@thatmechanicguy1993 bro I'm talking about number 2s return. Love and price will be tearing up the defense like that return man did on that OSU TD. That is my point. Love and price are too good. You could clearly see that vs USC and other teams all yr really.

[@thatmechanicguy1993]

@ that was an IU mistake. Kicked left and it was cover right. That won’t happen again..bro.

[@leemarie7724]

Love how this guy wants to plough ND field. But, Oregon, OSU, Penn State, and all the other teams have played weak schedules. The only tough team Texas has played has been Georgia whom they lost to twice. The Big 10 teams have all played weak schedules with only one or two difficult games then weaker competition. Tired of the schedule argument unless you want to talk Boise, SMU, & Arizona State

[@TOMMCLAUGHLIN-z7p]

9 OF TEAMS INDIANA PLAYED-HAD RUSHING DEFENSE-96TH OR WORSE…..

[@russellwilson4476]

One of these three guys might want to start approving titles and thumbnails. This is not the Sugar Bowl and the other Rose Bowl video is not the Rose Bowl (... and probably so on with the other two games)

[@ZB_Snickers]

The difference between IU and ND is that ND overcomes mistakes vs Louisville and USC. The first 5 minutes ranting about IU vs Ohio State is what it sounds like trying to defend a team that can't compete

[@1982mdunc]

USC sucks dude. Idk what youre trying to prve but Louisville and USC? Really. Brohm will always be just ok.

[@indyrussiandabber2635]

​@1982mdunc the point is that iu has played one good team and got dog walked. Lol

[@ZB_Snickers]

@@1982mdunc point is, ppl who have to make excuses for teams usually mean the team isn't elite. Making excuses for IU special teams, well maybe that's just a weakness when they play good competition.

[@donaldshotts4429]

​@@indyrussiandabber2635Nebraska was 5-1 & rolled Colorado when they came to Bloomington. Michigan beat OS and they'd crush service academies with no NIL. C'mon? Service academies and ACC bottom feeders

[@ZB_Snickers]

@@donaldshotts4429 I think Michigan and Ohio state tell a story of doom. IU had 18 yards in the second half vs Michigan and 6 yards vs OSU outside of their two scoring drives. IU can be figured out within a game by good defenses is how I see that

[@kbrewski1]

These guys don't understand how the new playoff system works. All 1st round are home game s for the higher seeded team.

[@ZapGoebel]

Why is video claiming this is the Sugar Bowl? The winner of this game will go to Sugar Bowl vs Georgia. Probably should proofread things

[@Playback007able]

if these loud mouths’ were legitimate, one could make the case that they are talking trash in the aim of fomenting irritation & anger in the aim of prompting objecting comments; lo’, they actually have not studied the teams, the coaching, their scheduled opponents or their true abilities. Irish throttles Hoosiers & covers a minus 10+ all day long!

[@LongNguyen-ho9qf]

Hilarious predictions this is gonna be a shootout

[@ZapGoebel]

ND by 14+ guaranteed

[@ski81a]

Can Indiana score on that ND Def?

[@garydavidatk]

you are clueless they can be big play if it requires-they can create

[@c.a.massaro7858]

I disagree with everything everyone is saying about Indiana. Indiana beat Michigan. Michigan beat Ohio State. Indiana wins!!! Rourke's an NFL quarterback. IU. Go Hoosiers!!!

[@1SEChawk]

Uhhhhh, this is not the sugar bowl. The winner plays in the sugar bowl vs Georgia. Cmon yall that’s bush league

[@curtcorrell268]

Aren't special teams part of the team?

[@DanWH1984]

Yeah, it's not the Sugar Bowl

[@bruss529]

Everyone says IU didn't play anybody but only lost to Ohio State. ND lost to NORTHERN ILLINOIS UNIVERSITY AT HOME. There are good losses, like losing to Ohio State. LOSING TO NIU IS THE WORST KIND OF LOSS.

[@jeffboyd7867]

Indiana beat one team with a winning record, Michigan at 7-5. That was also their closest win of the year, 5 points, also at home. ND has a horrendous loss, but also beat 6 teams with winning records, the closest being 7 points to Louisville, and the other 5 by an average of 25 points. Indiana can certainly beat Indiana, but there is no comparison between the two when it comes to overall schedule.

[@drewby_doobie_doo]

Sugar bowl? What the actual fuck? Y'all are a sports show?

[@bvgshouldbecoach]

ND beat 6 teams with a winning record. This guys a joke

[@TOMMCLAUGHLIN-z7p]

INDIANA BEAT ONE TEAM WITH WINNING RECORD-MICHIGAN -BY 5….

[@jonathanrolon7457]

I watched the IU v OSU game start to finish…they were heavily outmatched

[@diggingmystyle]

exactly. Other than that perfect 1st drive, Indiana was whooped the rest of the way. I have no clue why anyone would think otherwise.

[@ndgoldrush2]

They were outmatched athletically all around the field. Important to note also, OSU had 2 recent season ending injuries along the o line going into the game. Their starting center was hurt in the game. That was as much a factor for OSU's low rush output as anything Indiana did.

[@donaldshotts4429]

​@@ndgoldrush2Yeah that's why 0S was scoreless midway 2Q. Special teams fell apart and changed the whole game

[@ndgoldrush2]

@donaldshotts4429 OSU had maybe the best WR group and a beastly RB duo. Their o line lost two starters coming in to the game and 1 in the game. Which hurts the playmakers. Their QB is not very good in the passing game generally and has trouble getting the ball to his playmakers. OSU is very good on defense. Offense is another story, and coaching remains to be seen. It doesn't matter what it was at half time. Only the final score. I hate OSU. I was rooting for IU. However, the second half usually shows us the difference between good, very good and great teams.

[@donaldshotts4429]

@@ndgoldrush2 They beat us fair and square. We have a bunch of 22-24 year old starters, but playing at James Madison is just a wee bit different then Columbus. We weren't picking up blitzes etc with the noise, but I still say we weren't physically overwhelmed, especially on defense. How ND compares or if IU learns remains to be seen. And Howard on OS? He reminded me a lot of Leonard before, but now he doesn't run? I cap CFB and I saw Leonard a lot at Duke. Better runner then passer imo, but maybe he's improved. Def a gutsy QB and his running is a concern. He's only thrown for 200+ 4 times though. I like IUs chances if the game comes down to a lot of 3rd 7s

[@dobie4473]

Indiana cannot stop the ND rush. The teams they played this year, OSU had the best Offensive Rush ranked at 59. ND Rushing Offense is ranked 12. 5 times better than the OSU Rush attack. 5 TIMES... The rest of the Rushing Offenses Indiana faced averaged rank is 94. 94...... not 12.

[@TheZackski04]

That's what I've been harping on. ND, 13 sacks allowed all season, National Rank #24 and 224.8 average rushing yards a game ranked #10 while playing 5 teams that rank in the top 50 for rushing yards against. I think the OL is very fine. Meanwhile Ohio State ran for 116 yards against IU and averages 169 yards a game ranked 59th in the country in rushing. Indiana didn't play a single team whose top 50 in rushing and only 2 teams in the top 100 in rushing and lost one game and nearly lost the other to those two teams. Indiana's run defense as #1 is a complete joke since they didn't play a single good running team all year. ND will run for 200+ yards with that small OL.

[@sturartirish]

The fact these idiots didn’t start with Jeremiah love and jadarian price is all I need to know. Weak

[@kbrewski1]

Notre Dame is 84-18 since 2016. Indiana is 44-49.

[@donaldshotts4429]

All that matters is 1-0 or 0-1. I keep hearing about how Love is Reggie Bush, but 25 for 70 combined against Louisville/GT. That's not owning the trenches. Plus everyone talks about schedules. Michigan would run for 250 on Navy. Playing backside of the B10 is 10x harder then playing the ACC weak sisters

[@1982mdunc]

I love how the guy at the beginning brings up Indiana losing to Ohio State, which ND hasnt beaten Ohio State since 1936, and literally lost to a team they had a 97% odds of beating. No one thought IU would beat OSU, or even be 11-1. They were predicted 17/18 in big ten. So very weird, and creepy flex to flex on a team thats lost 700+ times. Please get better, and non cringe analysts.

[@donaldshotts4429]

All that matters Dec 20 is 1-0 or 0-1. Bragging about what ND did 35 years ago reminds me of IU basketball fans hanging on to the past like we're still elite

[@gcnd9031]

You would have lost both of your last meetings to us had you not had the Big10 refs bail you out. Bummer they couldn't help you against michigan lol
