It seemed like a lot of people expected a slugfest from Notre Dame and Ohio State inside Notre Dame Stadium, and in a lot of ways that’s what both teams gave us. It was a tight and tough game, and in the end the Irish ran out of luck and time to lose 17-14.
Notre Dame looked like they were ready to run early, but couldn’t finish with points. After forcing the Buckeyes to punt on their first drive, the Irish took the ball 71 yards on 14 plays before finally turning the ball over on downs after a failed Sam Hartman run to the sideline.
