Ohio State football trusted its best defensive linemen against Notre Dame, and it paid off.
Ohio State’s starters played a smaller workload the previous week against Western Kentucky. Notre Dame did not push the tempo, which could have tired out the front four more quickly. Most importantly, Ohio State has no game this week, providing a full week or recuperation after a night of extended work.
Earlier in the week, Ohio State coach Ryan Day had complimented Williams’ play but challenged him to “go play his best football in this game.” The 56 snaps were a career high, one week after he played 50 for the first time. That’s why, even without a sack on the books from his top two edge rushers, Knowles expressed no concerns last week about their performance.
On second down, Lathan Ransom came on a safety blitz. Hartman had to hurry a screen pass that was set up well for Jadarian Price. Had the ball made it to him, there was only green — either turf or Notre Dame blockers — ahead of him.
