About this episode

Rich Eisen and guests discuss Argentina's World Cup victory and interview Notre Dame QB CJ Carr about his college football journey.

Rich and the guys react to yet another thrilling comeback by Lionel Messi and Argentina to beat England to advance to meet Spain in Sunday’s World Cup final. Notre Dame QB CJ Carr tells Rich why he opted for the Fighting Irish despite his family’s deep ties to the University of Michigan, reveals why players would run through a wall for head coach Marcus Freeman, says how much their College Football Playoff snub will motivate the Irish this season, and how he’s handling being the Heisman Trophy frontrunner.    Michigan alum Rich laments that the Wolverines won’t play Notre Dame until the 2033 season.
