Mike Goolsby's score prediction for Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M | Former captain makes his pick

you tweeted this what is that Saturday Friday sure 281 Notre aame 2810 I haven't seen that tweet you're picking an 18 point you're picking a team that's three three-point Underdog to flip the script I like that I don't see maybe maybe if I backed it down to 2410 but I think we win I mean bet the money line if you're going to bet if you're G to bet it bet the money line but what's the over under because I've been saying the GNA win what is it 46 and a half oh wow I just don't know how they score talking about A&M A&M and you read some of the reports they've got their own offensive line issues the interior their defensive Line's kind of wonky they've got issues at corner you know like I I mentioned or like a Jaden Harrison I'm I mean I'm almost like convinced like you hooked me up to a lie detector test the big thing for me and like you'll almost know it from the get-go is like what kind of talked about this on patreon a lot like as the ex player it's played in some of these big games and I'm even starting to do it whether it's talking on Twitter like starting to build like a little bit of like anger towards like for the opponent it's like how do they hit that field what kind of energy do they hit that field with and I think you pluck out some of these you pluck out a few of these like older guys that were maybe a little bit more stoic a little bit more RI rigid and you infuse like a kba a Sneed you know a Schuler you're gonna have a different level of juice and I could I just don't see how they score on offense like kick returner big play turnover score points on defense I feel really good about it I really like legitimately do I don't know how they score oh those their running backs hurt they stud running backs hurt give me a break yeah I mean they were going to have a rotation of three they got two others they got a couple wide receivers they're big he's a big 12 Personnel so we may get three linebackers on the field he's a 12 Personnel that's why Freeman you know tried hireing him two years ago the Colin Klein the you know the K State OC that's what Freeman wants to do is Hammer The Rock and stuff like that they're they're gonna P The Rock right didn't know their name so my my my little side prediction on defense if I'm eling them I'm just be like I'm pring man and beat us Ry Leonard I'm gonna press the living crap out of every single one of you guys beat me up top you're not going to run around you're not going to go for you know 108 yards and play man and on offense man just Hammer the damn Ball but was we've been talking about was Notre Dame in in some of their games they gave up big chunks and got beat up up front and now you lost two NFL linebackers can Kaiser go in there and plug on some of those inside fits and stuff like that they're going to go 12 person personel Hammer the ball Notre Dame's going to play on the island as we've been talking about and they are going to take big deep shots so when you hear press man Tim does that press man in terms of A&M elco's approach are they gonna try to heat Leonard up or they gonna play soft coverage underneath they don't need I wouldn't heat them up I would just be like I'm gonna just man the hell out of you guys our front four is gonna just cause hav you got after your ass yeah Leonard you're not gonna run and we'll play Man however easy it's easy again like when I when I Envision a RI Leonard taking off and running it's in my brain not saying I'm right I don't do this the I'm not gonna do the digging but it's like it's offing to the right and I just I don't know it's and it's easy schematically to pull that game that we played in Japan the last football game we played in like they' had me pull up the quarterback it's easy to do schematically to pull somebody up as they as they roll out but I it comes back to me wide receivers making play on a contested ball via the air jump ball type thing an uncomfortable catch Andor making some plays in a quick passing game stepping out of a tackle a lot of yak Mike Nolan Super Chat this is the last thing and though we're gonna sign off tonight says any concern guys on the stat that Notre Dame is 0 and8 since 16 in True Road games with crowds of 990,000 plus I'm going to trust you on that Mike I haven't seen that myself but I'm sure I'm sure Tim is uh I you know what I saw something like this on Twitter I've had no time to go check the attendance records but um I started obviously Texas Georgia uh who I mean who I mean Ohio State Michigan and uh 19 obviously with that ass kicking Michigan State they haven't lost to them I don't know Michigan State's 90,000 who else has they play I'm gonna go look it up now because well do you have any concern oh USC no but you know what they beat that unless it wasn't 90,000 and 18 but they did 22 but yeah do you have concerns him about the stat yeah I have a damn concern you're gonna go play in front dude this place is going to be a freak Show I don't think this is going to be nuts there gonna be 110,000 people probably another 100,000 outside tailgating it is going to be insane it is gonna be so freaking loud and yeah Notre Dame's OB you know the old coaching cliche take the you know take the the crowd out of it yeah you're only gonna take the crowd out of it if if you just kick their ass but unless not it's G to go long long long I mean I mean they beat Alabama there a couple years ago in that place almost beat Alabama last year that fourth quarter they were tied in the fourth quarter with Georgia yeah you know different team because they got transfers and whatnot but the atmosphere is going to be crazy man I I my gut tells I I think the Notre Dame players are just going to feed off of this this is game one this is going to this is a Super Bowl atmosphere is what it's going to be so I and we know Notre Dame guys they they feed off of that too we you know they like love to take calculus and their fifth year French and all that crap but at the end of the day they're highly competitive football players I think the notame players gonna feed off so if we're two and 11 ask the ex player for crying out loud uh that won one of those games in front of 107,000 people Tennessee if we're two 11 over whatever 100,000 I won one of them was there you made a I'm telling you coach Freeman like am I worried about the 2016 thing under Brian Kelly sh pucker Factor purple face don't make a mistake I that's why Ian book could never like pull the trigger and just let the ball go so coach like coach Freeman build them up game day whatever stay out of the way it's in like the it's in the players hands in terms of like how are we gon to hit this field and I think you'll be able to see pretty early and you get the last kind of remnants of Kelly's sort of DNA I save for like a Kaiser like in these leadership positions is gone and then some of these young kids they don't know any better and I could just tell you it's like when you're in those games like you don't hear the stuff but it is cool when you when you breathe the the crowd noise comes in and out like as you're breathing it's very strange I miss it but I'm not worried about it just because of the the the youth on the on the team and I just feel like the the energy is a little different this year yeah I mean this is freaking Notre Dame I mean it's like this what you know the history books are written and shows are written about it and books talk about games like this this is it's gonna be awesome it it is going to be a unbelievable atmosphere I can't wait I'm glad game day is there place is gonna be a zoo but as much as we're talking about Freeman Mike ELO's an ass he could be a little dickish now uh he was well known you go back and and read about his stories during the 2000 177e that dude could motivate the hell out of that group so I mean he turned around Notre Dame's defense in an instant after the crap that we had with Van Gord for three years so it's gonna be both sides both sides are it's gonna it's gonna be like you know Allie Frasier man they're gonna just knock the hell out of each other for three hours [Music]
