Rapid Fire: Ohio State Sea Of Red Concerns, Sam Hartman Props, Hartman Passing Impact
Which are you more concerned about right now: Notre Dame losing to Navy in the season opener or a sea of red inside Notre Dame Stadium when Ohio State visits on September 23rd? That's what we start today's show discussing.
Other topics include:
* Fan Duel Over/Unders for Sam Hartman this season are 26.5 touchdown passes and 2,950.5 passing yards. Will he go over or under?
* USC's Caleb Williams has an over/under of 3,450.5 and Drake Maye of North Carolina has an over/under of 3,000.5 yards. Who are we more confident to go over?
See more topics from today's show below.
* Maye also has a touchdown pass over/under of 27.5...which means his TD total is only one more than Sam Hartman and his yardage total is only 50 more yards than Hartman and they both have +1800 Heisman odds...yet Maye is considered the No. 2 QB prospect in next year’s draft and Hartman is an afterthought. What do we make of that?
* Interesting chart we saw on Twitter...last season 44% of Notre Dame’s receiving yards were made BEFORE the catch...while 71% of Wake Forest’s yards were before the catch. What do you think it means?
* Fill-in the blank...There are 50 days to go until the Irish and Navy open the season in Dublin. Rocco Spindler wears No. 50 and this season is BLANK for Spindler.
* In the wake of several NFL players being suspended for inappropriate gambling a fairly prominent NFL pundit says players should be allowed to bet on their team to win. I won’t tell you who the guy is to avoid prejudicing you. But do you Buy or Sell players being allowed to put a wager on their team to win a game and nothing else?
* Joey Chestnut has won eight straight hot dog eating contests. Who’s the all-time equivalent of Chestnut in each sport (players not coaches)?
* Here’s what Eagles QB Jalen Hurts had to say about Dak Prescott:
“He’s a hell of an athlete. A great leader of men on and off the field. It’s really the media who wants to paint him as a villain. I model my game off him, what he’s doing is special, by far the best QB in the NFC. Arguably a top 5 QB now.”
Our thoughts on Hurts saying the media paints Prescott as a villain.
