00:00A marquee matchup we were all waiting for. The two seed Georgia in the chase for a third national
00:06championship in the last four years with a new starting quarterback in Gunnar Stockton making
00:11his first career start with UGA and a Notre Dame team led by Marcus Freeman in his third year
00:19in the third appearance for the Irish in a college football playoff looking for its first win in the
00:25CFP in a first major bowl victory in three decades and that's what Notre Dame accomplished
00:32yesterday in New Orleans 23 to 10 beating Georgia at what Georgia has beat basically
00:40everybody in college football doing in the last five years. Joe when I say this game was a pick
00:46them I am not kidding by the time we got to close yesterday at 4 p.m eastern time it was minus 110
00:53Notre Dame on the money line it was minus 110 for Georgia on the other side on the money line
00:59the fighting Irish went outright by 13 in a total of 45 at a hook stays under Notre Dame's first
01:07major bowl victory in a national perspective since 1993 and because of it the Irish earn a spot
01:16in the college football playoff semifinal against Penn State dominant and impressive
01:22defensively and on special teams throughout Notre Dame outlast Georgia in the sugar bowl.

02:25that's how far you got to go back with Notre Dame that'll tell you that everything we saw yesterday
02:31I'm telling you if you didn't show anybody any uniforms and just watch these guys play you would
02:35have swore Georgia was kicking butt only it wasn't Georgia it was Notre Dame and
02:42defensively offensively and once again another team that had an extra week off Ben comes out
02:51starts slow and eventually can't do enough to be able to come back so there that's another narrative
02:58we got to dive into at some particular point before next year's tournament because all those
03:04teams were down big before they even knew what to do and Georgia was just that final chip there that fell
