Question :  Hello Chris  two part question for you here, as Auburn takes on Penn State how good is it for the sport of college football. For out of conference teams to play each other and then not to get ahead but next week Notre Dame takes on Wisconsin at Soldier Field. And the beginning of the season there had been some neutral games played how for the sport of college football for that as well, is that good to have those played in neutral sites and what do you think about that matchup Notre Dame vs Wisconsin?

​

• Answer : "Yeah well two things one, this has been a really exciting. September, because, conferences have decided not to wait until the end of September at play conference games and you saw with the big 10 the ACC has been doing it PAC 12 has been jumping on board and even see some some SEC games early, which is cool because it spices up what was. Often lackluster weeks, while the sport had this stage to itself before the nfl got going and now. I'm really encouraged by by the direction that gone auburn penn state stands apart from that, because actually schedule a home and home. And, and it wasn't a made for TV type matchup when TV gets involved and makes matchups like, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Georgia, & Clemson was one of those bama Miami every year they have those sort of games that are that are in the neutral fields that kind of, Jumpstart interest in sport it's intriguing I think when you play I just think soldier field is a phenomenal, then you to have Wisconsin and Notre Dame clash and you get to really passionate fan bases meeting in in the big city and energizing Chicago and and and creating a kind of. A big college sports environment and what other great cities in the country which I think go to that one that would be a lot of fun just to see first of all, just to see those two uniforms together on the field is neat. Wisconsin has some some early urgency, obviously, after the home was and to fix things and you get people energized and to gain some confidence note Notre Dame. My buddy treacle got to call one of the most thrilling games, he can I watch that game watched it back actually because I couldn't believe what was going on in the fourth quarter. Obviously there's things that they'll want to improve on dramatically on Defense but the offense looks looks explosive looks fun and so that matchup against a very, very good Wisconsin defenses is front and Center but I haven't taken a deep dive into the matchup. Beyond that, because because because i'm not going to be able to be there, but I look definitely 40 just being a fan and sit back and watching it. And I think it's really cool Notre Dame plays in soldier field reminds me of like the old days when when when army or teams used to play Yankee stadium, or you take a, Pro sports venue in a big city you turn into a college environment yes please to that you know".
