You are looking live at the University of Notre Dame, where tonight Marcus Freeman's fighting Irish will take on Kirk Signetti and the 11-1 Indiana Hoosiers.

I'm Tim O'Malley with Tim Preister from Irish Illustrated. This is John Bryce of Football Scoop and we are Irish Illustrated Instant Analysis.

Tim Preister, Elkhart to our east, Bloomington to our south, weather from the Great White North.

That's how football should be played in the playoffs.

Well, there's no doubt about it. And when the wind is picking up here now, I think the snow is behind us,

literally and figuratively. I don't think there's going to be any more snow tonight.

But if the wind picks up, it becomes a little different proposition.

And it's going to be chilly.

But look, it's chilly for the fans.

It should be great for the players themselves.

As the wind picks up a little bit more,

it may be a little bit more challenging the the quarterbacks and the wide receivers.

But, you know, really, I think this plays into Notre Dame's hands.

Nordame's a more physical football team who's going to be tougher in the trenches.

In these conditions, I like Notre Dame.

I said 40 rushes for the letter love price triumbrate.

I probably underestimated it.

If the weather's like this, because this is a different level of cold.

I was talking with Tom the intern and no assistant to the intern.

It's different cold out here right now.

This is not, oh, Virginia was kind of cold in November.
