ND coaching staff lost this game. All they had to do was run as much time as possible off the clock then punt. OSU would have been in a much worse position than they were when they got the ball back, out of time outs, with about a minute left. Even if OSU would have gotten to the same position they were in with 3 seconds left, ND staff should have seen that they only had 10 men on the field at the goal line and called a time out to get a DE at the spot OSU ran to. Ryan Day was lucky and looked ridiculous proclaiming how tough the Buckeyes are. The people he was railing against would have been saying "see, we told ya so", if the ND coaches had played it right, and Day would have been full of excuses. Don't tell me how tough you are, show me. Sorry about the rant, I'm starting to move to the Rambo point of view. ND had no timeouts left at the end of the game to get the 11th man on the field. Freeman said after the game he told his player to just stay on the sideline so they don’t get a penalty. Although that probably would’ve been the better way to go since it would’ve just been a penalty of half the distance. I didn't realize that. Did they have TO's left when OSU got the ball the final time, and use them defensively?

I don’t remember them calling any.

I thought ND called a TO during the last drive. OSU will go as far as the defense carries them. Still abysmal shortyardage running offense at key times

Watched a quick replay on Youtube. ND used 2 TO's defensively in the last minute of the game. Used their last one when OSU completed the pass to the one yd. line with 7 seconds left. OSU was going to go tempo and ND wasn't ready so called TO.

Completely forgetting any of those timeouts… but my mind was also going crazy at what was happening so probably didn’t even notice.

Harrison was a factor because he drew double coverage which opened things up for Stover and EE. KM getting better and better each game . JJ From UM getting worse Day needs to do better in Goal line situations i agree. Take the W and enjoy the bye week. First hurdle cleared ! You mean the same JJ that walked into the shoe last year and led Michigan to a three score win?

Exciting game watch where ever play mattered and turnovers/penalties played a bigger then normal part of the outcome.
Also, Stroud tossing a couple more TDs today.

Many people saying Ohio State got lucky, but like I said earlier Norte Dame is lucky that Ohio State basically almost beat themselves. Should’ve won by 2 scores or 3.

Many people say that luck is a part of every game, good and bad. ND being in this game was their good luck. First year QB having to out play a 6th year senior QB was not lucky. No turnovers in the game was lucky. Losing the time of possession by almost 10 minutes is not lucky. Having Igbinosun fall down on the goal line and leaving Flores wide open was not lucky. Harrison's injury was just bad luck

Buckeyes found a way to win, and at the end of the day that’s what matters. It might be that kinda year.

Luck is involved in a lot of close games. FSU had a scoop and score Saturday vs Clemson and also needed Clemson to miss an easy 30 yard FG in the final minute just to get it to Overtime. FSU was lucky, so they won. 2002 Ohio State needed to get lucky vs Cincinnati, Illinois, Purdue, Penn St, Miami, etc.
Notre Dame and Ohio State were both lucky and unlucky in that game Saturday. Both are Top 10 caliber teams. Very even game. Both left points on the field. Total Yards (366 OSU, 351 ND) Yards per play (5.6 OSU, 5.5 ND)
I'm still giddy about the win. Can't stand Notre Dame fans. Ryan Day was Charmin soft in 2021. Ryan Day was Bounty soft in 2022, run game was still Charmin soft. Ryan Day is Paper soft right now in 2023. Ryan Day is becoming tougher, but he's still not tough enough to beat Michigan. He has 8 more games to continue on his path to becoming tough as steel. Michigan must be beat.
Kyle McCord's play Saturday reminded me of Craig Krenzel in 2002. Krenzel always waited until the last moments of games to make plays. 4th and 1 vs Purdue Late 4th Quarter drive vs Michigan 4th and 14 vs Miami, to set up 4 plays later the 4th down interference McCord converting 4th down pass McCord converting down to the 1 yard line under 10 seconds McCord commanding the team to punch it in from the 1 to win If felt Craig Krenzel-esk

Rambo, I have to say I’m starting to like what you’re saying. Day may not be your #1 choice but until he is gone we have to try and find the good in him!

I also have to say coach Day was fired up at the end of this game with some people referring to the Buckeyes as soft. Not every college team has gotten to play the end of year slate the buckeyes have the last few seasons and I wouldn’t use the term soft by any means.
I’m also very intrigued by this defense now. They might be what lead this team and god have I been waiting for a legit silver bullet crew to be back in action.

Buckeyes are getting a nice rest up bye week before having to play most likely 5-0 ranked Maryland.

They might be what lead this team and god have I been waiting for a legit silver bullet crew to be back in action. I'm not sure we saw the same game. I saw the Buckeye defense get ran over in the 2nd half. 4.5 yards per rush is unacceptable. If you take away the Henderson 61 yard gain then the Buckeyes had 65 yards on 26 attempts for an average of 2.5 yards per carry. That's not acceptable. So even though Ryan Day says the Bucks are tough, the rushing and rush defense numbers don't validate the comment. I hope they get better.

I have read some things about the substitutions on the defensive side of the ball and the starters getting worn down in the second half, which led to some of those long ND drives. JT and Sawyer literally played every snap at DE and only 3 DT’s played significant snaps in the middle. I think that’s a huge mistake by the coaches and not keeping them fresh. No idea why Curry and Jackson couldn’t have seen at least a few snaps at DE.

You gotta keep those guys fresh (especially with the holes being opened by the ND OL). I thought we looked almost undersized in the middle but I think the listed sizes for the DTs are okay.

If I was a Norte Dame game I would be just gutted watching me team not only have 10 players for 1 play, but the last 2 plays of the game after calling a timeout. Freeman knew about it too.

With all the coaches college fb teams have, someone shouldve known that, No excuse for ND == they got beat by a better team and better coached team, sorry Lou
