One of the best Saturdays in decades is in the books. The day was filled with drama, great football, and emotion. We learned a lot about some contenders this week. Let’s get into it.
Notre Dame, we need to talk.
With 2:30 left to play, Notre Dame had the ball and a 4-point lead. It was 2nd and 15, and Ohio State was down to their last time out. The Irish had the Buckeyes dead to rights. A run on 2nd down would mean Ohio State burned its final timeout. Another run on 3rd down would run the clock down to about 1:50, and the Irish could punt and flip the field, giving Ohio State 80 yards and no timeouts to go win the game.
