Former Notre Dame head coach, Lou Holtz, is at it again. The former Fighting Irish head coach loves to keep his name in the headlines any way he can, and now he’s using a beef with Ohio State’s Ryan Day to do just that.

The Fighting Irish's last meeting with the Buckeyes became notorious not just for the on-field action but also for the pre- and post-game antics involving Day and Holtz

Lou Holtz, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish's last coach to win a national title, believes Notre Dame will only lose the national championship to Ohio State if it wants to.

It started following last year's meeting between the two teams, which saw Day fire back at Holtz, who questioned the physicality of Ohio State before the game. Although Holtz is 88 years old, he didn't forget Day's comments and took a jab at him on social media on Wednesday.

Ohio State RB Chip Trayanum plowed through the middle of Notre Dame's defensive line for a 1-yard touchdown on third-and-goal with one second left on the clock to seal the win. During a postgame interview with the NBC broadcast, Day, unprompted, went off on Holtz in a clip that went instantly viral.

Legendary head coach Lou Holtz made his pick for Monday's national title matchup known. The No. 7-seeded Notre Dame Fighting Irish and No. 8 Ohio State are competing in the College Football Playoff National Championship in Atlanta, Ga., at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

After Ohio State beat Notre Dame last year, Ryan Day had a long message for Holtz in his postgame interview. He said that he wanted to know where Holtz was, and that he couldn't believe what was said about his team. Day also insisted that his team was tough.

Ohio State coach Ryan Day, who lost to rival Michigan for a fourth straight year earlier this season and was briefly rumored to be on the hot seat, has helped lead his team through a stacked playoff field into the title game, where the Buckeyes will be looking to clinch their first national championship in a decade.

Ohio State has to jump out early, spread the ball around, use pace, and control the line of scrimmage to thwart Notre Dame’s running game. Ohio State has played at a faster pace in the postseason and look for that to continue. The defense will want to make Leonard throw the ball by making the Notre Dame offense one-dimensional.

Monday night's matchup between Ohio State and Notre Dame will be broadcast live from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The game will air on ESPN with Chris Fowler (play-by-play), Kirk Herbstreit (color), and Holly Rowe (sideline) on the call.

Marcus Freeman is one of the biggest names in college football right now — not just because the Notre Dame head coach has led the Fighting Irish to the brink of its first national championship since 1988, but because of how he has done it.
