00:00The one me and you are really going to be waiting for next Friday night in South Bend,
00:06the Irish and the Hoosiers.
00:10That's right.
00:11And I have to look this up.
00:12When was the last time they played each other?
00:14Have they ever met?
00:16And they have to have played, right?
00:18Indiana and Notre Dame has to have played at some point in college football.
00:23I'm going to look it up.
00:24I'm going to look it up while Marcus talks.
00:27So here he is.
00:28You remember the infamous Cignetti line, right?
00:31From when he got hired.
00:32I win.
00:33Go Google me.
00:34We played it here.
00:35We know it well.
00:37Marcus Freeman referencing that as he talks about how good this Indiana team is.
00:41The coach has done a wonderful job to take this program to win 11 games in the Big Ten
00:47and in a Big Ten season and to have this team ready to make a run in the playoffs.
00:54It's a credit to the coach.
00:56I didn't know much about him.
00:58I took a minute and Googled him and looked at some of the things he's done in the past
01:02at his other places.
01:03I mean, he's won everywhere he's been.
01:05So he's done a great job and we expect a great opponent.
01:09I've just briefly started looking at them.
01:11They're a talented team.
01:13I think Notre Dame is better than Indiana.
01:17I think they're at home.
01:19I think it's going to be a hostile environment.
01:21I like the kid Rourke.
01:23I think they have the better quarterback.
01:25I think that Indiana can score.
01:28I think they're going to give Notre Dame a run for their money.
01:31They might very well cover.
01:33If they beat Notre Dame, I'll keel over.
01:36I really will.
01:37I don't think they've ever faced anything this big ever this season at all.
01:44The Ohio State game in Columbus is a lot like it.
01:48Going to Notre Dame Stadium to play the Irish, I mean, it's just brutal.
01:52Especially in a playoff setting.
01:55I don't think it's going to be easy, but I think the kid Rourke is good, man.
01:58He can give them problems.
02:00Believe me, you.
02:01Notre Dame's got a great defense.
02:03We'll see if they can shut this guy down.
02:06Now, Notre Dame, in their history, they are 23-5-1 against Indiana.
02:12But listen to this.
02:14They've only played once since 1958.
02:21They played in 1991 in South Bend.
02:25Irish beat them 49-27 during the Lou Holtz years.
02:28But all these other meetings, they played basically every year in the 20s, 30s and 40s.
02:34The Irish did the Hoosiers.
02:35So no recent history.
02:36That doesn't count.
02:37Same with the pros when we say Cleveland, Detroit in the 50s.
02:38That doesn't count.
02:39We're 60s and above here.
02:40No.
02:41That's it.
02:42So really, they've only played once.
02:511991 in South Bend.
02:52That was the only time the Irish and Indiana have ever faced off.
02:55So this should be fun for Signetti and Marcus Freeman.
02:59And huge for both of them in this game, getting a chance to win a playoff game next Friday
03:04night.
03:05We're going to have a lot of fun with that here on C2C.
