00:00A national championship game tonight on a Monday in Atlanta
00:04between Ohio State and Notre Dame. Eight and a half points
00:07spread in favor of the Buckeyes. A total of 45 and a
00:12half. We have talked spread. We have talked total. We will
00:14continue to do so throughout this third and final hour as we
00:18get you fully set for tonight's national championship game. But
00:22DRS, now it's time to get to the individuals that will
00:25impact tonight's outcome and we start with Ohio State
00:29offensively. In arsenal for Chip Kelly that really you can
00:33attack any defense, even the best defenses in the sport and
00:37find success. Will Howard's number 241 and a hook. Trevion
00:42Henderson and Quin Sean Judkins have both been incredibly
00:46productive throughout the college football playoff.
00:48Trevion a slightly higher number by only two yards in
00:52front of Quin Sean. Jeremiah Smith coming off the worst game
00:56of his young Ohio State career against Texas. Just one grab
01:00for only three yards, but the veterans Emeka Egbuka and
01:04Carnell Tate both very, very stout against Texas. When you
01:09look at the numbers for Ohio State, which prompt do you
01:13think is most impactful and which one gets your intrigue
01:16the most? Well, if we're looking at that total right mid
01:20forties, it doesn't really say to myself, well, let me go to
01:23the receiving props. Let me go to the quarterback props to
01:25sort of throw it all around the barn. Now, having said that
01:28we are playing in a dome. We are going to be on a fast track.
01:30That is an electric team and it wouldn't surprise me. Hey,
01:33by the way, we'll have it through for 275. Is that so
01:35crazy to think about or Jeremiah Smith had a big day or
01:38Egbuka had a big day? No, that doesn't surprise me at all, but
01:40I just look at the game myself and say if it is going to be
01:43lower scoring in two good defenses, does that lend
01:45yourself to a little bit more handoffs than possibly passes
01:48in this game? So you go right for Judkins and Trevion
01:51Henderson on those numbers and they're almost identical 56 and
01:54a half and 58 and a half and you can't really say like you
01:57look at him like well, Judkins is the more explosive guy. I've
02:00seen Trevion Henderson bust a lot of long runs this year in
02:03critical situations. So for me, I tend to lean if I'm saying
02:06who do I want one player from Ohio State tonight? I usually
02:09lean with I think I know I'm getting 10 to 13 carries at a
02:12Henderson with the chance to bust a long run and look at the
02:16spread itself. Ben, you have to do this. It's paint by numbers.
02:19If that is close to a 10 point spread, what's theoretically
02:22the option in the fourth quarter? Ohio State protecting
02:25a lead, which means more runs to me. Trevion Henderson,
02:28probably the guy I would look to tonight if I'm picking any
02:31one of the player props just on yardage from an Ohio State
02:34perspective.
