Georgia is playing with house money. “Down” year, backup QB… the pressure is, without a doubt, all on my Irish. Queue up all dumb talking points - can’t win the big game, aren’t in a conference, “can’t hang with SEC”, etc, etc. Been following ND closely my entire life and this is the most hyped I’ve been about an ND team in years. LFG Irish ☘️
I’m not sure that’s true… I think ND is playing with house money because the expectation before this season was the make the cfp and win at least 1 game. Georgia is a powerhouse that would consider it an embarrassment to lose to ND which everyone always jokes “can’t win the big ones”… regardless, Go Irish!
I mean we already beat y'all at least twice in the past so it's not like Georgia haven't seen what y'all are capable of doing and that's not to say that we ( will ) win automatically but it not like this is new to us .
Exactly. This isn't the same ND team that was under Brian Kelly. There is a notable difference when you look at Kelly vs. Freeman. I mean, look at Kelly and how he's doing at LSU 🤣. Good riddance.
If ND wins they’ll say it “doesn’t count” because Georgia has a backup. Stockton is bad, they call him a dual threat, he hasn’t thrown a td in over a year, he averages 0.9 yards a carry. He had 8 rushes for 8 yards against Texas and his average went up, and apparently he’s a good runner

Idk how this is even a question. UGA is under no pressure to win. They’ve won 2/3 last NC. They won the SEC with the hardest schedule in cfb and they are playing with their back up. If they lose, their season was still a success.
@@Carelock exactly. As much as I liked the story of last year's Michigan team, Georgia may have beat them by 3 touchdowns if they could have gotten over the Bama hump
@@brianstaley6391 It’s funny how you assume Georgia would’ve beat MI by 3 scores when MI beat the team you lost to in the SEC Championship Game, Alabama.

Illinois is your cheeze its citrus bowl winner . Bama , Oklahoma , South Carolina , Tennessee etc … all get plowed in their bowl games …. Another sec team in the porta John …
What the heck is y’all ND fans talking about. What game was ND battled tested more than one time? How many top 5 and top 25 teams have ND played against? Don’t say Texas A&M cause they suck
Since some people don't seem to have been watching, it's really hard to beat Georgia! They are confident and cold-blooded! They were manhandled for a half by Alabama and came back only to lose a heartbreaker. They were manhandled for 3 quarters by Georgia Tech and came back to win in 8 overtimes. They don't lose their composure or panic. If Notre Dame gets a lead they have to finish. Im not sure if they can.
FYI, on the play in which Rylie Mills was injured, he also had to fight off a blatant (uncalled, of course) hold. The O lineman had his arm wrapped around Riley's upper body & neck. In beating the hold Riley was left in a less than desireable position, which set him up for the injury.
Notre Dame has an excellent offensive line plus 3 outstanding running backs plus Riley Leonard is a good scrambler. ND is a different team under Freemen compared to Kelly.
Love only had 8 carries in the game vs Indiana.108 yards total. So he only had 7 more carries the rest of the game after the 98 yard run. I believe he was coming off an injury.
The leprechaun will put a spell on the bull dawgs, toss it a bone, then run into the end zone over and over before the bull dawg even realizes what just happened. Thats just how we roll.
On what I would call a down year for my Dawgs, pressure is definitely on ND. Georgia is just happy being here and beating Texas 2x!! I think the game will be good and close but I give my Dawg the edge in being battle tested and we always love when everyone doubts us!! 27-24 ,Dawgs!!
Is Notre Dame the "Cowboys" of College Football? Every year people are hyped for them, they breeze through regular season, then choke (some would say exposed) in the playoffs. Here we go again. And we will be here next year too.
I’d really like Kirby to get his 3rd natty. He’d be 3-1 in natties and 8-1 in the playoffs. I Just don’t know about this team. Hope they prove me wrong! Go Dawgs!
I would say Notre Dame is under more pressure to win - Georgia got beat all to heck in the regular season and getting the SEC championship in such a rough year is "good enough" for the administration and satisfying enough for the non-bandwagon fans who actually know how flawed we are this year. That said, it's NOT enough for Kirby Smart, who just likes to win and beat the snot out of other teams whenever he can. He won't let Notre Dame and Marcus Freeman walk away with an easy W here.
I’m so grateful to be around fans of the SEC. Regardless of what team they like, most of them call it like they see it; truthfully. Bama, Tennessee (sometimes) and other fan bases are at least able to admit when they’re outmatched. The stuff I see from this ND fan base is absolutely ridiculous and hilarious. they’re going to find out QUICKLY what real football is. They act like this team plays a real schedule and is undefeated. They LOST TO NIU. The same team. what are we talking about? UGA is going to beat them in every level of the game. they will be embarrassed by UGA. ask TCU what happens in the post season against UGA. Kirby is about to run up the score too
lmao sec fans are the most delusional people on the planet. the amount of times ive heard a mid tier sec team like texas a&m or arkansas would dominate any conference, or that the best teams from any conference would be mid in the sec is insane
As a ND fan, if Brian Kelly were still here I would’ve already written this game off as a loss but this team and atmosphere around it just feels different. Freeman is building his own legacy so for the sake of this game this year I don’t think it’s fair to hold that over this teams head.
Notre Dame is under more pressure to win imo. They should win this game easily as well. Georgia without Carson Beck is not the same team. I expect ND to win comfortably.
Georgia definitely has more pressure they have the entire Sec dominance narrative to up hold lose and people along the Mason Dixon line will lose their marbles

2:23 no. It was not his final play. Becks’s final play of that game was actually the final play of the game, when he passed it off to the RB for the win.
@@Kingbuzz92 It's the SEC - they have far superior rosters, better coaches and have proven it over and over again. If the SEC Champion loses it is a bad look
I would say the powers that be have already instructed the refs to help Georgia advance so im hoping ND gets an early lead like Ohio State did and takes the will to win out of the Georgia players especially going in with their backup qb and the tension thats gonna cause them on the sidelines if he throws a costly interception early
no pressure on ND, nobody expects them to win outside of ND fans, and if they dont well freeman got us into the playoff and a victory in the playoffs. Anything less than winning it all gets questions in the background if smart still has it. now if ND makes the playoffs next year and flames out then yea pressure in the future on ND.
Nobody is questioning if “smart still has it” that’s beyond idiotic. they just won the sec playing the hardest schedule in college football and just won 2 of the last 3 natty’s.
@@autonomouspilgrimage6137 blah blah blah.. if ND wins and you think nobody is going to question him then you are new to college football. He is expected to win by 2 scores at least (I dont care what the betting line is) nobody turns on a coach faster than football fans when he loses a game they are certain to win.
@@Irishhaf blah blah blah….just say you have no clue what you’re talking about and keep it moving…..Kirby Smart has done things the past 4 years that keep his job almost indefinitely…..obviously media and fans will turn on him like Dabo if he stops winning but right now he’s won back to back natty’s for the first time in 4 team playoff, fastest SEC head coach to 100 wins in sec history, has dominated his rivals, most draft picks in the modern draft for one, two, and three years, most first rounders ever in the modern draft, haven’t lost a home game since 2019, didn’t lose a regular season game for over 3 years, has played for a natty 3 times and is 2-1. Has a record of 105-18, is 5-1 in the playoffs, and 9-2 in bowl games. Just won the sec championship with the hardest schedule in college football with a back up QB coming in for a half and leading the team to a win. Georgias 2024 Senior Class 52-4 record Back to back national champions 25-0 at home 15-0 against their rivals Longest winning streak in SEC history 39 weeks as AP #1 team 58 weeks in AP top 5 All the pressure is on Notre Dame and the fact they haven’t won anything meaningful since the early 90’s, and now they’re playing a back up QB in his first start since high school
@@autonomouspilgrimage6137 got it, you are new... remember his predecessor, many folks thought he was untouchable till he wasnt, let him lose to ND and then have an ounce of struggle next year and people will want his head on a platter. Its the way college football goes for head coaches.
@@Irishhaf oh moving that goal post from “if he loses this game “ to “if he loses AND has a bad season next year.” yeah you don’t know what you’re talking about…got it. I’m old enough to be your dad….i was around for the end of Dooley, was there for the dark ages through the 90’s. Richt was gone because he couldn’t win the big game….he choked SEVERAL times, and never was able to get to the dance much less win it….he was a great coach and more importantly a great man but his ceiling was 10 wins and winning the sec every once in a while. There were grumblings for Richt being gone for years before it happened. NOBODY has done what Kirby has done and not beating Notre Dame Wednesday is going to change the perception of a man two years removed from winning a national championship…that just won the sec with a back up QB….get real
ESPN College usually has trash takes when it comes to Georgia, this is one of the more substantive ones. You did the work analyzing the game...which is what you would expect from analysts. But unfortunately, it seems like it's usually about "feels."
I think Notre Dame has to start winning these games. Close isn't good enough. Oh we play Georgia clothes we played Ohio State close. No more of that. We got to win some of these. Go Irish 🍀
ND 27 - 17. ND is more physical than they get credit for .. and they have more skill players than Georgia .. or at least put that skill in better position. ND is not in any way fearful of Gunner Stockton. A 10 point loss might even be too generous to Georgia.
@@holdengambleLike UGA let UMass have 220 rushing yards or Miss. State throw for 300, or let GT score 40 points and pushed them to 8OT. Let a 3 loss Bama score 40 (who couldn't score 7 on OK), or let Ole Miss pound them, or barely beat trash Kentucky by 1, yet we gonna act like you're dominant?
Well, I guess UGA shouldn't even get off the plane unless they are just there to party on Bourbon St. Oh well, we are the SEC champs so at least we have that. Congrats to ND for the 2025 Natty.
Normally, I'd say UGA given how bad the SEC has looked so far. But this time I'm going with ND. They have an atrocious record in big bowls (playoffs, natty, or NY6 bowls), another loss would really beg the question if they can handle big games.
Georgia hasn't lost a bowl game since 2018 , has no worse than a #4 recruiting class over the past 4 years according to 247 sports, Plus also has four wins over teams In the college football bracket, Plus the Irish lost to a G5 team called Northern Illinois.... And you pick Notre Dame to win this game. Got it.
@mattobrien6053 If you are Notre Dame fan, you need to be more worried that your team has average athleticism, consistent with what one could find at a typical, big city YMCA.. Your team is getting ready to face a roster filled with early mid-round NFL talent. This is a bad matchup for Notre Dame.
Defense is key here. I do not see both offenses able to get a rhythm. I could see this being a low scoring game. 17-14 ND. I just think ND has too good of a perimeter. Which i think keeps them in the game. Best db’s in the country. I’m an Ohio State fan, so don’t think this is bias take. I just think ND’s defense is good. Like really good.
You realize that ND doesn’t have the best dbs in the game according to nfl scouts? Morrison is hurt and starks and Everette are rated higher than both ND active guys. Get a clue.
lmfao so you think ND’s defense is better than UGA’s? Texas would dog walk ND. Get ready to see how we hit down here in the SEC, ND hasn’t played anyone like us all year 😂
@ for the love of god, I’m not even a ND fan. I despise ND, but Notre Dame literally dog walked Georgia Tech this season and GT went to 6 OT’s with Georgia. For you to say Tennessee beats the brakes off Notre Dame is pretty wild.. especially the way they played Ohio state, who lost to Michigan .. who lost to Indiana. Indiana > Tennessee if you want play that game.
What no one is talking about is that Notre Dame has the highest rated coverage grade in the nation and are allowing just a 51 average passer rating to opposing QB’s. Now I’m expected to believe a 1st time starting QB will hold up against the best secondary in the nation? Notre Dame will cruise
@@MikeM.1971.GenX. PFF adjusts their grades for strength of schedule so I know it’s very easy to throw out the strength of schedule argument as a casual, but you’re going to have to try harder than that 🤕 NEXT!
Notre Dame will cruise? Georgia hasn’t lost an out of conference game since 2019. Say that to yourself and think about it. Georgia is going to win. And it will be the same old same old from Notre Dame fans and pundits.
@ possibly the worst piece of analysis you can do is say “well in years past this happened” past years have absolutely nothing to do with the current year. Please attach at least some sort of relevant analysis if you’re going to reply
@@austinfigueroa4851 that might be true except for the fact that Georgia still hasn’t lost an out of conference game. Seems pretty relevant. I know that sounds foreign to a team afraid to join a conference.
Watching georgia play texas the defense is dangerous how they pack the line and run offset tackle keeps their game guessing and as an offensive team you dont need guessing execution is the game plan . Georgis has been known yhey might give but the red zone is a problem for the dawgss
Why do people assume ESPN has control over all these things. Why don’t you people blame Vegas and the betting market if you’re gonna yell that it’s rigged?
Coach Smart is untouchable at UGA. There is zero pressure, except the immense amount that the team puts on itself.

2:23 no. It was not his final play. Becks’s final play of that game was actually the final play of the game, when he passed it off to the RB for the win.
Answer: Ohio State
Let the other overconfident teams do this kind of talking.
The answer is the University of Notre Dame.
Imagine if the SEC Champion loses to Notre Dame?!!! How embarrassing!!!
Lol when is the last time ND did anything? UGA has 2 chips in the last few years and a nice positive game record against the "Fighting" Irish....
@@CODmustang6511 exactly - If they lose to them it will be a huge failure and wildly embarrassing.
@@cfb1743with a backup qb making his first career start yea it will be embarrassing. Not!! Stop being a casual dude
@@Kingbuzz92 It's the SEC - they have far superior rosters, better coaches and have proven it over and over again. If the SEC Champion loses it is a bad look
With a backup QB? Nah.
I would say the powers that be have already instructed the refs to help Georgia advance so im hoping ND gets an early lead like Ohio State did and takes the will to win out of the Georgia players especially going in with their backup qb and the tension thats gonna cause them on the sidelines if he throws a costly interception early
ND 28-21!
😂
Go Irish
I have ND by two scores.
🤣🤣🤣 Dream on!
22-19 Irish
The Bulldogs are about to remind Notre Dame while they don't even deserve to be in the playoffs!
RAYBUN COUNTY‼️‼️ them country boys ain’t gonna let the DAWGS down🐶
no pressure on ND, nobody expects them to win outside of ND fans, and if they dont well freeman got us into the playoff and a victory in the playoffs. Anything less than winning it all gets questions in the background if smart still has it. now if ND makes the playoffs next year and flames out then yea pressure in the future on ND.
Nobody is questioning if “smart still has it” that’s beyond idiotic. they just won the sec playing the hardest schedule in college football and just won 2 of the last 3 natty’s.
@@autonomouspilgrimage6137 blah blah blah.. if ND wins and you think nobody is going to question him then you are new to college football. He is expected to win by 2 scores at least (I dont care what the betting line is) nobody turns on a coach faster than football fans when he loses a game they are certain to win.
@@Irishhaf blah blah blah….just say you have no clue what you’re talking about and keep it moving…..Kirby Smart has done things the past 4 years that keep his job almost indefinitely…..obviously media and fans will turn on him like Dabo if he stops winning but right now he’s won back to back natty’s for the first time in 4 team playoff, fastest SEC head coach to 100 wins in sec history, has dominated his rivals, most draft picks in the modern draft for one, two, and three years, most first rounders ever in the modern draft, haven’t lost a home game since 2019, didn’t lose a regular season game for over 3 years, has played for a natty 3 times and is 2-1. Has a record of 105-18, is 5-1 in the playoffs, and 9-2 in bowl games. Just won the sec championship with the hardest schedule in college football with a back up QB coming in for a half and leading the team to a win.
Georgias 2024 Senior Class
52-4 record
Back to back national champions
25-0 at home
15-0 against their rivals
Longest winning streak in SEC history
39 weeks as AP #1 team
58 weeks in AP top 5
All the pressure is on Notre Dame and the fact they haven’t won anything meaningful since the early 90’s, and now they’re playing a back up QB in his first start since high school
@@autonomouspilgrimage6137 got it, you are new... remember his predecessor, many folks thought he was untouchable till he wasnt, let him lose to ND and then have an ounce of struggle next year and people will want his head on a platter. Its the way college football goes for head coaches.
@@Irishhaf oh moving that goal post from “if he loses this game “ to “if he loses AND has a bad season next year.”
yeah you don’t know what you’re talking about…got it. I’m old enough to be your dad….i was around for the end of Dooley, was there for the dark ages through the 90’s. Richt was gone because he couldn’t win the big game….he choked SEVERAL times, and never was able to get to the dance much less win it….he was a great coach and more importantly a great man but his ceiling was 10 wins and winning the sec every once in a while. There were grumblings for Richt being gone for years before it happened.
NOBODY has done what Kirby has done and not beating Notre Dame Wednesday is going to change the perception of a man two years removed from winning a national championship…that just won the sec with a back up QB….get real
With all of our injuries this season is a success no matter what happens.
Give us non-SEC (or Big10) refs and the game is close.
ESPN College usually has trash takes when it comes to Georgia, this is one of the more substantive ones. You did the work analyzing the game...which is what you would expect from analysts. But unfortunately, it seems like it's usually about "feels."
It all comes down to the 4th quarter. Go DawGs
To jail
Notre dame. This is Georgia’s back yard everyone has talked about how bad they are this year. They play better against the wall.
Oh God of Moses, have mercy on Notre Dame ! They knoweth not what is about to bite their A$$ 🐶
U convict?
I think Notre Dame has to start winning these games. Close isn't good enough. Oh we play Georgia clothes we played Ohio State close. No more of that. We got to win some of these. Go Irish 🍀
ND 27 - 17. ND is more physical than they get credit for .. and they have more skill players than Georgia .. or at least put that skill in better position. ND is not in any way fearful of Gunner Stockton. A 10 point loss might even be too generous to Georgia.
😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣😁....there's not even enough luck in Ireland for that to happen...
For a team that has not won a real big game in decades you guys sure are full of it.
😂
the team that lost to NIU is more physical? what planet are these people living on 😂
@@holdengambleLike UGA let UMass have 220 rushing yards or Miss. State throw for 300, or let GT score 40 points and pushed them to 8OT. Let a 3 loss Bama score 40 (who couldn't score 7 on OK), or let Ole Miss pound them, or barely beat trash Kentucky by 1, yet we gonna act like you're dominant?
Well, I guess UGA shouldn't even get off the plane unless they are just there to party on Bourbon St. Oh well, we are the SEC champs so at least we have that. Congrats to ND for the 2025 Natty.
What are you talking about? Georgia will beat ND
Your not in Kansas anymore Georgia!
Well I think that either Nd is gonna win or UGA will
ND dont want UGA when they are the most hungriest. They are the hair follicles on UGA nuts!!
Man that's gross. Good luck with your backup against the best defense in the nation.
Notre Dame not a question. Whats his nuts needs to actually do something over in that no-man’s-land of a school.
Normally, I'd say UGA given how bad the SEC has looked so far.
But this time I'm going with ND. They have an atrocious record in big bowls (playoffs, natty, or NY6 bowls), another loss would really beg the question if they can handle big games.
It's already been begged years ago. Do you know the definition of insanity?
I'd be really worried if Herschel Walker had any impact on this game, but he doesn't and neither does NDs bowl performance over the last 30 years.
Georgia hasn't lost a bowl game since 2018 , has no worse than a #4 recruiting class over the past 4 years according to 247 sports, Plus also has four wins over teams In the college football bracket, Plus the Irish lost to a G5 team called Northern Illinois.... And you pick Notre Dame to win this game. Got it.
@mattobrien6053 it did every year for the last 30 years.
@mattobrien6053 If you are Notre Dame fan, you need to be more worried that your team has average athleticism, consistent with what one could find at a typical, big city YMCA..
Your team is getting ready to face a roster filled with early mid-round NFL talent. This is a bad matchup for Notre Dame.
The answer is Notre Dame.
Defense is key here. I do not see both offenses able to get a rhythm. I could see this being a low scoring game.
17-14 ND.
I just think ND has too good of a perimeter. Which i think keeps them in the game. Best db’s in the country.
I’m an Ohio State fan, so don’t think this is bias take. I just think ND’s defense is good. Like really good.
🤡
You realize that ND doesn’t have the best dbs in the game according to nfl scouts? Morrison is hurt and starks and Everette are rated higher than both ND active guys. Get a clue.
lmfao so you think ND’s defense is better than UGA’s? Texas would dog walk ND. Get ready to see how we hit down here in the SEC, ND hasn’t played anyone like us all year 😂
@@Dre_WoeTexas isn’t even that good. 😂 Gtfoh.
@ for the love of god, I’m not even a ND fan. I despise ND, but Notre Dame literally dog walked Georgia Tech this season and GT went to 6 OT’s with Georgia.
For you to say Tennessee beats the brakes off Notre Dame is pretty wild.. especially the way they played Ohio state, who lost to Michigan .. who lost to Indiana.
Indiana > Tennessee if you want play that game.
Getting that kicking leg ready for a grown man on all fours barking at me 😂
Yeah, right. You know good and well that you'll cowar away like a wee little leprechaun. 😂
@ negative rampart.
More pressure to win? Georgia lost their starting QB in the 11th hour. They’re playing with house money the rest of the way.
One word: Salukis
Georgias too solid… Wont be too suprised if we got an upset tho
What no one is talking about is that Notre Dame has the highest rated coverage grade in the nation and are allowing just a 51 average passer rating to opposing QB’s. Now I’m expected to believe a 1st time starting QB will hold up against the best secondary in the nation? Notre Dame will cruise
Weak schedules produce amazing stats.
@@MikeM.1971.GenX. PFF adjusts their grades for strength of schedule so I know it’s very easy to throw out the strength of schedule argument as a casual, but you’re going to have to try harder than that 🤕
NEXT!
Notre Dame will cruise? Georgia hasn’t lost an out of conference game since 2019. Say that to yourself and think about it.
Georgia is going to win. And it will be the same old same old from Notre Dame fans and pundits.
@ possibly the worst piece of analysis you can do is say “well in years past this happened” past years have absolutely nothing to do with the current year. Please attach at least some sort of relevant analysis if you’re going to reply
@@austinfigueroa4851 that might be true except for the fact that Georgia still hasn’t lost an out of conference game.
Seems pretty relevant.
I know that sounds foreign to a team afraid to join a conference.
Run heavy team couldn't run against Indiana, but somehow gonna run vs the Dawgs?? GA don't hurt em.
Notre Dame played a weak schedule.
I'll pick Georgia
that means ND will win
Im always wrong
LOL
Why is no one talking about the bowls that just happened? Iowa St Miami was a blast!
Because the Miami QB quit/left the game when they were ahead.
Bowls don't matter any more.
@@vulcanraven9701 yeah, something to talk about.
@@rodolfomancha7438 huh?
Watching georgia play texas the defense is dangerous how they pack the line and run offset tackle keeps their game guessing and as an offensive team you dont need guessing execution is the game plan . Georgis has been known yhey might give but the red zone is a problem for the dawgss
sorry ND but the mouse isnt happy about all these SEC teams losing so prepare for some grade A ref ball. GA will win (the mouse will make sure)
Go sober up weirdo
Wouldn’t doubt it
Why do people assume ESPN has control over all these things.
Why don’t you people blame Vegas and the betting market if you’re gonna yell that it’s rigged?
The mouse don't play about his money. 😂😂😂
@@Smiththebatbecause they are not very bright
You hated Carson beck being injured. I loved and prayed for it. We aren’t the same Georgia fan boy
You "prayed" for Beck to be injured?
@ are you even a real fan if you don’t wish for the other teams player to get knocked out of the game or injured. Too many soft boys now
@@DoomForDays Was thinking you were a GA fan.
@@ld4974 god no
@@DoomForDays Ok, makes sense!
This is a blow out for the Irish.
ha ha ha
Go Dawgs 32-27
I think it’s gonna be lowering scoring than that.
Sean have anymore ignorant big ten takes??
Man you guys are soft
I'm taking ND to win.
Give me ND by 14 points
