So, Trev, let's talk about the Ohio State offense and what we expect to see.

0:26.6

What one thing that I want to talk first about that we haven't seen a lot from them that I do think we'll see at times against Notre Dame is pushing the pace.

0:37.9

They have not been a team this year that pushed the pace a lot.

0:41.5

I've seen different reasons as to why and those type of things, but they do when they need to.

0:47.9

I think Chip Kelly ultimately likes being a tempo guy.

0:50.9

I can understand when you're playing a 16, maybe 17 game season,

0:54.4

why maybe you don't want to do that, 12 games in the regular season.

but I have a hard time thinking that Chip Kelly, of all people,

1:36.8

is not going to push the tempo in this game after what he saw USC do at times in Notre Dame

1:40.9

and then also what he saw Penn State do at times.

1:43.8

Now, they're not the only two teams that have pushed the tempo against Notre Dame, and then also what he saw Penn State do at times. Now, they're not the only

1:45.2

two teams that have pushed the tempo against Notre Dame. Other teams have tried, and it didn't work.

1:49.8

But those are two of the better teams they face and two teams that are a little bit more similar
