#5 Notre Dame at #2 Ohio State Game Thread (ABC, 7:30PM EDT)

[IluvdoubleD's]

Ostate's OLINE was not ready tonight. Strout simply played faster.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

If dame can hold this close until the fourth, they have a shot. They are going to have to stand against a lot of offensive pressure to get there tho.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

What a catch through PI.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

ND has size, and they are using it well imo. They look tough defensively.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

TD Irish

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Ladies and gentlemen. That was a 1 yard goal line run by a fullback.

I just witnessed football.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Really liking these ND lines.

 

[Zues1]

Let's go Irish....I think I just threw up a little

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Still expect to Bucks to roll Irish. I must admit however Marcus Freeman has shown me he may be the right choice for that job.

My wife just asked if I don’t still hate both of these teams when ND scored.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

ND just dropped 9 and strout carved them.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

That was murder.

 

[Wezcoast]

/snore

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Strout is electric.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

ND is playing this so well tbh. They will have to last the third quarter tho..

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

3 o state players are now injured. ND D is putting a hurt on them.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

osu took a bad time out that killed momentum and doinked a chip shot before the half. Trying to take a tie into the half tells you what you need to know: ND d is banging tonight.

 

[orangetaz]

In the pick em I picked ND to win

 

[sunnyvol79]

ND will get some massive respect from me if they can win tonight

They have earned respect for what they have done already. Most picked OSU to win this handily. ND is playing really good.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Ostate came out with a three and out, and then a penalty on special teams. the crowd started to turn in that instant.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Big penalty.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

uh ohhhhhhhh..... that looks like a bad penalty by ostate. they look flustered and the crowd is not happy.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

This has early loss written all over it. It would set ostate up to chase the rings for the rest of the year.

Unfortunately, it'll guarantee nd a spot in the playoffs
