Welcome, everybody, to another edition of IRISO, Illustrator.

I'm Tim Priester, Tim O'Malley from IRIS Illustrated.

We are joined by John Bryce of Football Scoop and Pete Sampson of the Athletic.

We are about 30 hours or so away from kickoff for the national championship game, Notre Dame, Ohio State.

We've been here in Atlanta for a couple days now.

And, Tim, I mean, I think we all kind of go a little bit back and forth on this matchup.

I know that I have.

I've settled on a score.

I just don't know which team to pick.

But I think it's still relatively low scoring.

I think that Notre Dame has a good chance of limiting what Ohio State can do offensively.

I guess my biggest question is just how much offense, how many points Notre Dame can put on the board.

Yeah, they have to limit what Ohio State can do offensively because that question is, I think, the relevant one for everyone. Can Notre Dame win a game that needs more

than 27 points to win? I suppose they could. They got 27 on a really good defense in Penn State.

Ohio State's a little bit better than that. I think Notre Dame has to be creative a little bit

offensively to keep up. Dragging them into the water is a great idea.

Like Brady Quinn said, it worked last year.

This offense for Ohio State's clicking more than that offense was in mid-September.

Staying aggressive is key to me, and we're going to get into this a lot more.

I want to let J.B. and Pete talk, but I don't think it just comes down to ball control,

fourth and one.

Yeah, you want to possess the football, but maybe third and one, you want to score a touchdown.
