While it wasn’t a dominant performance by any means, went on the road and earned an impressive late victory over , 17-14.
Overall, Buckeyes’ defense played well. Notre Dame managed to rack up 351 yards on the night, but Ohio State allowed just 14 points as they bent but did not break for the majority of the night. The main area of contention was once again the defensive line, as they failed to get really any pressure on Sam Hartman, but the secondary was strong. Guys like Sonny Styles and Lathan Ransom really stood out on the back end, and Denzel Burke was once again excellent.
