Shane Gillis shares hilarious 'pretty big prayer' ahead of Ohio State vs. Notre Dame in National Championship game

In the 83-second clip, Gillis is depicted at a church altar, surrounded by lit candles, as he earnestly prays for Notre Dame to win its first national championship since 1988. This year marks the first time the Fighting Irish have reached the national title game since 2012, although they had to vacate their wins that season due to NCAA penalties for using ineligible players.

"Hey, God. It’s me Shane. I know I haven’t been here in a while but I have a pretty big prayer for you," he said in the ad. "Notre Dame is in the national championship on Monday. I know you know, because you’ve been with us the whole time – couple weeks ago, that field goal. I know you have a lot going on, so that was pretty chill you took time to help us with that.

"I should also say I hath not bet on any of these games … Alright, I have, I hath bet. But going forward, if Notre Dame wins, thou will not bet on games … for a month. Couple weeks. I’m probably going to bet on Sunday.

"Come on, God. I know you can help us. Trucking dudes. Pick sixes everywhere. Maybe a couple Fumblerooskis! Just please let Notre Dame win a national championship."

Gillis previously ribbed the Buckeyes' roster shortly after their win against Texas, setting the stage for an emotional game on Monday evening.
