Did anyone see Paul Finebaum's response to Marcus Freeman's comments about OSU being 17.5 point favorites?

“Is Knute Rockne rolling over in his grave if a Notre Dame coach is feeling disrespected because somebody in Vegas doesn’t make him the favorite?” Finebaum said via On3. “This is really ridiculous because everyone knows, or should know, Ohio State is one of the best teams we’ve seen in a long time and Notre Dame is going through a transition. So, Coach Freeman, we all love you but calm down."

 Does anyone agree with Finebaum? Is it an overrreaction by Freeman? I feel that Freeman shouldn't be surprised of the spread during a transition year, but to me, there is still just nothing wrong with using the point spread as motivation. We've done the same in the past.
