Ohio State’s Ryan Day and Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman were both young, internal hires with no head coaching experience. What does it mean for college football coaching that they are meeting in the national title game? And how does Jim Tressel affect both of them? And where does Dabo Swinney fit in that conversation? Doug Lesmerises delves into that on this Kings of the North. Then Indiana center Mike Katic joins the show to break down the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish — the only two teams the Hoosiers lost to this season. Plus, life in a tiny visitors locker room. Then Tyler Shoemaker and Doug suggest their bets for the title game, as TShoe has been on top of Notre Dame all season. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.
