00:00and Notre Dame beat Georgia 23-10.
00:03Carver, hi, I know you want to direct me
00:04through some of this play-by-play
00:07of these big moments in the game,
00:09so why don't you do that to start it off?
00:11Yeah, let's clean this up
00:13before we head into everything else
00:15that's going to be going on this weekend.
00:16Here it is last night.
00:17Now, all of this happened
00:19in less than a minute of actual game time.
00:22Between the final minute of the first half
00:24and the first 15 seconds of the second half,
00:27that is where Notre Dame really got it down on ESPN.
00:30Prospect coming out of high school,
00:32but neither Riley Leonard or Carson Beckett
00:35got hit again, the ball's out.
00:37R.J. Obin knocked it out,
00:39and Junior Chuiyala Maka has it for Notre Dame.
00:4333 seconds, two timeouts.
00:46Notre Dame with a chance to add to a three-point lead.
00:52Play fake, Leonard in the end zone.
00:55Touchdown, Irish!
00:57Mo Collins with the first touchdown of this game.
01:02Asked them to stop the run, continue to force takeaways,
01:05saying, if they beat us throwing the ball,
01:07so be it.
01:07He stressed their edge rushers,
01:09playing relentless, wants them to continue their intensity.
01:12Jaden Harrison bringing back the kickoff.
01:15He brought two back for touchdowns last year
01:19when he played for the thundering herd of Marshall,
01:22and he has one for Notre Dame.
01:25Yeah, listen, it's the best game I've seen Notre Dame play
01:28since Lou Holtz in 88,
01:31when they won the national championship.
01:33The last time they, frankly, sniffed it.
01:35I think when Kelly took them to, you know,
01:38BCS, you know, games, they always got their ass beat.
01:42This is the best team they've had since Lou Holtz,
01:45and it is amazing because, wake up the Echoes.
01:49That's all I know, is that they have awoken,
01:53believe me you, in South Bend.
01:55What a scene for the Fighting Irish last night
01:58on Bourbon Street, whatever it was, you know,
02:02a day late, a dollar short, I don't care.
02:04They still got it done.
02:06That's all that matters.
02:06We were on the air here watching it.
02:08I thought the first half was the worst half of football
02:11I've ever seen in my life until they recovered that fumble
02:15and threw that strike in the end zone,
02:16and they opened it up 13-3.
02:18I did not think that it was a good game.
02:21I really didn't.
02:23I'll say this much.
02:24I have been around, I lived in Atlanta three times, right?
02:28I've been around these Bulldog fans,
02:30and there's way more Bulldog fans in Georgia
02:32than there are Falcon fans, believe me you.
02:35The Georgia Bulldogs are the biggest team in all of Georgia.
02:38There is no pro team.
02:40The Hawks, the Falcons, when the Thrashers were there,
02:45they were dead last when it came to the Braves.
02:48It's really the Georgia Bulldogs and the Atlanta Braves.
02:51They're the two biggest teams in Atlanta, in Georgia,
02:55and I just, you have no idea.
02:59They are so painful, these people.
03:01What do you mean, you people?
03:02They are so painful that just seeing them lose
03:07and seeing Kirby Smart shut up,
03:10like just seeing him be shut up by Notre Dame,
03:14that we don't have to listen to him with his radical,
03:17you know, after game interviews where he's all lit
03:20and he's talking about how great is he,
03:22resiliency and all this other bullshack.
03:25I am so glad I don't have to listen to this guy
03:28and that he got beat.
03:29To me, it's so beautiful.
03:31I can't even begin to tell you.
03:32Like, all night, I even texted Carver,
03:34I'm like, how great is this?
03:36How great is this?
03:38I enjoyed every minute of it.
03:39You have to understand, I spent my whole life,
03:44you know, going to the Catholics against the convicts,
03:48going against Miami.
03:50When it mattered, it always mattered.
03:52Watching Notre Dame play Michigan every year
03:55in Ann Arbor and in South Bend, they screwed that up too.
03:58I went to every game that Joe Montana
04:00ever played in South Bend.
04:02My dad was college roommates with Dan Devine.
04:04I have been around Notre Dame football my entire life
04:07and to see them at this pinnacle,
04:09I've never seen them this high since Holtz.
04:12No question about that.
04:14Definitely, I feel the same way.
04:16They have never been this high since Holtz
04:19was the head coach.
04:20Here is Marcus Freeman, of course.
04:22Believe it or not, Scotty, all four teams
04:26that had the bye in the college football playoff,
04:29they all lost.
04:30Holtz, Georgia, Oregon, Boise, Arizona State.
04:34Here is Marcus Freeman, he says,
04:35I don't care about any of that.
04:36My team prepared and that's why they won.
04:38I think whatever circumstances you're given,
04:42you make the most of them.
04:43And if we would have had a first round bye,
04:45I would have been the first one to say,
04:46this is great for us.
04:52We did it, it's great for us.
04:54We are always a glass half full group
04:58and whatever circumstances are thrown at us,
05:00we're gonna take advantage of it
05:02and prepare and maximize the opportunity ahead of us.
05:05And so that's what they did.
05:07The first game had nothing to do with this game.
05:09It was the preparation that they put into this week
05:13in this game and in the performance that they put on.
05:16But I don't believe in my heart
05:19the first game had anything to do with this
05:21when it was about the preparation
05:22they did after the first game.
