Short-attention-span synopsis: Buckeyes tie off shoulda-coulda-woulda year with sweet finish. Zeke gorges. Quite the bookend start-finish to Bosa’s season. Sits out. Kicked out. ND short for No Dice?
Pregame buzz: On the excitement meter, this nonsellout measured about a three, and would have been a two if not for high-profile opponent Notre Dame. The lack of juice lingered into the game, too. A stadium worker with 20 years experience working Fiesta Bowls said it was one of the quieter crowds she has heard.
Worth the trip? Daily blue skies. Remember what those look like?
