All right, Trevor, so let's dive into the next part of today's show, and we're going to talk about what this game means for Notre Dame. This is a huge, huge game. Obviously, when you talk about it, it's not just the

0:26.5

ranked on rank. So we're talking about a game on Saturday afternoon, 3.30 p.m. Notre Dame is a

0:32.2

six-point favorite, which I was a little surprised by. It was six and a half. It's now down to six.

0:37.8

And Louisville comes in ranked 15th in the country.

0:40.2

Notre Dame is ranked 16th in the country.

0:42.0

I was just kind of, and again, I'm not a better, so I don't have any knowledge to back.

12 point margin. But I did feel watching it that Louisville was the better team. It wasn't like,

1:26.3

oh, man, like they caught this

1:28.2

break and that break. So, like, Louisville's first touchdown came on a fumble return, but

1:34.1

it was a bad play by the quarterback, but it was also a great play by the Louisville defense.

1:38.7

And he made a bad play because they were swarming him. So I was like, yeah, okay, that was a bad

1:42.8
