You have dialed into Irish Illustrated Insider.

I'm Tim Priester, with Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated.

Pete Sampson, the Athletic of the Athletic and John Bryce of Football Scoop.

It's Thursday, January 16th.

I think are all of us leaving for Atlanta tomorrow?

Pete, you're leaving for Atlanta?

I am.

We're all on our way to Atlanta on Friday as Notre Dame and Ohio State.

Continue preparation for the national championship game on Monday.

Fellas, I've written about this, talked about this, been on radio shows.

I'm going to stop talking for a little bit and throw it your way.

And let me just, I mean, let's hear where, where your guys' heads are on this,

this matchup with Ohio State.

It's gone down to minus eight at this point.

I think the biggest news is Jogasa at left tackle, as reported by Molly McGrath.

As Pete mentioned earlier in the week, Joggesa was going to start.

Wonder where he's going to start. That's the question. And the only wonder is because Rocco Spindler, I assume is going to try to play and make it through the game. I don't know if that's the

best tactic or not if he's injured because he's going to have some troubles. But I would assume it's Spindler with Pendleton at the ready and Jogasa there

at left tackle. I don't know if it's the right call because I'm not Joe Rudolph and he knows

105% more, even though it's impossible than we do about the offensive line because he's managed

to make this offensive line work

with all the incredible challenges he's had.
