The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are heading to the College Football Playoff championship game and he feels NIL has put them on equal footing.

Notre Dame prefers to play press, man-to-man pass coverage. Will that work against Jeremiah Smith and OSU's other receivers in the CFP title game?

Ohio State is fully capable of making Notre Dame pay for its mistakes, but it doesn’t force nearly as many turnovers and commits more on offense as well. The Buckeyes are tied for 54th in the FBS in takeaways (19) and rank 44th in turnover margin (plus-four), which bodes well for the Irish.
