The Week 1 matchup between the No. 5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish and No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes has been circled on the calendar of college football fans for quite some time.
The game isn't short on storylines as first-year Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman makes his regular season coaching debut in primetime against his alma mater.
Ohio State opened as a 17.5-point favorite against Notre Dame, according to Caesars Sportsbook, which was news to the Fighting Irish.
"We'll use that in the team meeting [Monday], it's good to know," Freeman said last week.
