Ohio State is a 17-point favorite over Notre Dame, but the Buckeyes have stumbled in recent marquee non-conference home games.
“Having that loss was kind of good for us this season just to know it can happen, so we’ve got to bring our ‘A’ game every game,” Smith-Njigba said.
Knowles’ scheme is designed to confuse offenses, and Notre Dame is breaking in a new quarterback, Tyler Buchner. Former Buckeye Marcus Freeman is making his regular-season debut as Fighting Irish coach. “It's got to start up front,” Day said. “The leadership up front has to be strong because certainly we know that Notre Dame is going to come in and try to run the football and try to control the clock, which is very similar to things we see in the Big Ten.”
