In a physical battle between two of college football's blue bloods, No. 6 Ohio State stood up to the test as it capped a 65-yard scoring drive with a 1-yard plunge from Chip Trayanum with just one second left on the clock to defeat No. 9 Notre Dame, 17-14, on the road in South Bend.
The win improved Ohio State to 4-0 on the season and gave head coach Ryan Day multiple postgame opportunities to sound off against the haters, including Lou Holtz, who offered up remarks in the lead up about how all the big boys that beat the Buckeyes do so because they are more physical.
