The early season romps are over for a pair of top ten heavyweights as Notre Dame (4-0) hosts the Ohio State Buckeyes (3-0) on Saturday night. Each team rolled over inferior opponents and traveled to face a quasi-competitive conference member to work out a few kinks. Both Indiana and North Carolina State pestered the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish, respectively, in the early going before being dispatched. This week’s contest features two powerful offenses with several talented playmakers who will ultimately play on Sundays. The game will be nationally televised by NBC starting at 7:30 pm Eastern time.
Coach Ryan Day boasts a 48-6 record since taking over the helm at OSU in 2019.
