Depleted Notre Dame Secondary Puts Onus on Ohio State Passing Game in Fiesta Bowl

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Ohio State offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Ed Warinner sees the Buckeye offense peaking at the right time heading into its Fiesta Bowl matchup with Notre Dame.

"I think we are getting better and better. I still saw improvement throughout this bowl preparation," Warinner said Tuesday. "I saw us bounce back and play really well against our rival and we’ll try and keep that momentum going."

The unit got an added boost Tuesday, even though it had nothing to do with Ohio State's team.

Irish head coach Brian Kelly announced at practice a pair of starting defensive backs will miss the Fiesta Bowl, one of whom was already filling in for an injured KeiVarae Russell at cornerback.
