Fighting Irish coach Marcus Freeman doesn’t want a repeat of last year’s matchup at Ohio Stadium. Ohio State scored 14 unanswered points in the game’s final 16 minutes, defeating Notre Dame 21-10.
Line: Ohio State by 3, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The game is a resume-builder for the winner in the race for the College Football Playoff, though a loss wouldn't necessarily eliminate either Ohio State (3-0) or Notre Dame (4-0). The Buckeyes have won five straight in the series and the last four meetings, like this one, were top-10 showdowns.
“Everybody keeps talking about sacks,” Freeman said. Despite recording just six sacks, the Irish (4-0) have held opposing quarterbacks to a pass efficiency rating of 84.3 and already have 40 pass breakups — six more than they had all of last season.
