Well, good afternoon, everyone, everyone, and officially we welcome you to Notre Dame, Ohio State Week.

We have finally arrived.

I guess the appetizers are over.

Now we get to one of, I guess, three main courses, if not a few more, coming up for the Fighting Irish.

This is Hay Horka live on this Monday following Notre Dame taking

care of Central Michigan 41 to 17. My name is Darren Pritchett from Sports Radio 960,

WSBT and South Bend will be hosting my radio show from 5 to 7 tonight at WSBTRadio.com and Tyler will be a guest on that particular

program and he is Tyler Horka, the Notre Dame Football Beat Reporter at Blue and Gold

Illustrated, blue and gold.com. Well, we've been waiting this for a long, long time. We were

hoping the Irish would be undefeated. I think it's nice that Ohio

State is undefeated going into this game, setting up a top 10 matchup. Yeah, for sure. You definitely

want Ohio State to be undefeated because if they would have lost to Indiana, Youngstown State,

or Western Kentucky, it would have definitely taken some of the flare out of this

matchup. So it's kind of that double-edged sword if you're a Notre Dame fan. You don't want Ohio State

to be playing really well going into this because you want Notre Dame to win. But the fact of the matter

is Ohio State just played its best game of the season against Western Kentuckyentucky and i mean western kentucky's probably

the second best opponent among the three that ohio state has faced i mean they're probably

better than youngstown state um maybe even they're better than indiana i don't know indiana's

not that good of a football team anyone that lives lives around the South Bend area or across the state

of Indiana probably knows that. So yeah, it is what it is. College game day is coming to town.

As soon as the clock hit triple digits on, you know, triple zero's on central Michigan,

I was down on the field because that's what the print reporters do
