The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are 4-0 and ranked #9 in the nation — which is pretty impressive. But... as impressive as that is, they will finally get a real challenge this season as the 3-0 Ohio State Buckeyes and their #6 ranking make the trip to South Bend from Columbus.
Obviously this is the week that we have all been waiting for since the end of last season. While the Irish have only played the Buckeyes a handful of times over the past 90 years, the losing streak is a dark cloud that hangs over the program.
