One of the nation's top rushing quarterbacks chose Notre Dame because of its tradition and the lure of leading one of college football's blueblood programs to end a 36-year title drought, the longest since Notre Dame claimed its first title in 1924.

Yesterday, I looked a five reasons why Notre Dame will defeat the Indiana Hoosiers in the first-round of the College Football Playoff. We have to look at the other side of the coin, and there is potential for the Irish to fall to the Hoosiers. Obviously we all want to see Notre Dame come out on top, but someone has to win and the other to lose.

Thirty-three years since their last meeting, the teams face off in the first on-campus playoff game in an unthinkable matchup just months ago.
