FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt makes his pick for the National Championship Game between Ohio State and Notre Dame. He breaks down each side of the ball in the matchup and what the Irish have to do to pull off the upset of the Buckeyes. He explains why Notre Dame will have to make a major adjustment if they are going to follow blueprints left by teams like Texas and Michigan that were able to slow Ohio State down. Klatt also points out how, despite Notre Dame’s successful run to the Title Game, Ryan Day's team will present a different set of problems that they have yet to face this season. 0:00-1:54 Intro 1:55-6:53 Ohio State and Notre Dame will face-off in National Championship 6:54-13:00 Will Notre Dame’s defense slow down the Buckeyes on offense? 13:01-17:07 How will Chip Kelly and Ryan Day structure the offensive game plan? 17:08-27:02 Will Ohio State’s defense shut down the Notre Dame offense? 27:03-27:30 Joel’s National Championship pick 27:31-28:00 Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
