We are a week away from Ohio State and Notre Dame facing off in the National Championship and the trash talk has already begun.

Former Notre Dame QB Malik Zaire recently took a shot at Buckeyes QB Will Howard on social media, which didn’t sit well with some.

“All the great QBs Ohio State has had the last 15 yrs and Howard is def the worst one by far and ostate fans are trying to convince me that he’s gonna lead them to the chip?!?! Lmao ok,” Smith typed. “I’d even take the OG Jalin Marshall at QB before Howard!!!!!!!,” Zaire wrote on X.

Zaire fired off number II’s other posts and isn’t hiding that he is riding with the school he spent three seasons playing for. However, Zaire has been called out by former Ohio State QB Cardale Jones now.

Jones sounds pretty confident that the Buckeyes can get the job done and win the first National Championship since the one that he was a part of a decade ago.

When it comes to bets, Zaire took another shot at Howard, saying he would bet the under ok whatever his stat line is.

“I’d take the under on whatever Will Howard’s stat line is. And any 2nd half bets available! And any realistic bet you want! #IrishForAllTheMarbles,” Zaire wrote.

The Buckeyes are coming off a 28-14 win over Texas and before that, they downed Tennessee and Oregon. There is no doubt that Ohio State has had a tougher road to the big game over Notre Adams. The Fighting Irish have beaten Indiana, Georgia with a backup quarterback, and Penn State.

With the game still being a week away, there is still plenty of time for more trash talk to take place. However, don’t expect any of this to be bulletin board material for the players. At this stage, you should need no extra motivation to go out there and get the job done.

Ohio State and Notre Dame will battle it out on Jan. 20 at 7:30 p.m. ET in Atlanta, Georgia
