Darius Butler couldn’t sneak this one by Pat McAfee.
McAfee ribbed his former Colts teammate and present co-host on his self-titled present after Butler described Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard as “sneaky fast” Monday.
“I love the moxie of this Riley Leonard,” McAfee stated after Leonard ran close to the aim line in the course of the first drive of Notre Dame’s 34-23 loss to Ohio State within the CFP nationwide championship recreation.
Butler responded: “Sneaky fast.”
“What do you mean?” McAfee rapidly countered.
The commentary then went a bit off the rails, with McAfee seemingly calling out Butler for assuming that Leonard wasn’t quick — maybe on account of his pores and skin colour.
Somebody within the background yelled out “Woah” earlier than Butler described Leonard as “lanky.” One other individual then commented, “He’s just fast to me.”
Butler then seemingly made a joke about Leonard sneaking up on him, which drew some pushback from his co-hosts.
“He can jump, too. You ever see him jump? He can dance, too. You ever see him dance?” McAfee stated, with the leap line maybe being a reference to the “White Men Can’t Jump” movie.
Butler stated “impressive” earlier than McAfee continued.
“He can dance, he’s got rhythms, the Catholics, they got to do the church thing. Stand up, kneel down, stand up, sit down, amen, amen,” McAfee stated. “Shout out to the Catholics, shout out to Riley Leonard.”
Leonard and the Preventing Irish scored on that drive to take an early 7-0 lead, however that proved to be their excessive second of the sport.
The Buckeyes scored the subsequent 31 factors, placing Notre Dame in an enormous deficit that proved an excessive amount of to beat.
The Preventing Irish didn’t assist themselves when coach Marcus Freeman opted for a subject aim from the 9-yard line within the fourth quarter in a 16-point recreation, just for Mitch Jeter to overlook the kick.
Leonard had a stable day towards a troublesome protection, finishing 22 of 31 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns whereas he added 17 rushes for 40 yards and one landing.
