Column: A look at Ohio State’s alumni coaching lineage

Ohio State’s Saturday matchup against Rutgers for the most part coincided with the top-10 matchup of Cincinnati and Notre Dame, which meant that, at a certain point, it was easy to flip to the latter game once things were well in-hand for the Buckeyes.

There was a cool moment during that game in which the NBC crew of announcers talked about the connection between Luke Fickell, head coach for Cincinnati, and Marcus Freeman, defensive coordinator for Notre Dame.

While the moment itself was incredibly heartwarming, I personally felt very old upon hearing this, because I remember Freeman as a player.
