Notre Dame began its 2022 season in Columbus, facing Ohio State in what seemed like an uphill battle from the start of what became a 21-10 Buckeyes victory.
LIVE: Updates, highlights from Ohio State vs. Notre Dame
With coach Marcus Freeman settled into his job and Sam Hartman putting himself in the Heisman Trophy conversation for the ninth-ranked Fighting Irish, there's reason to believe this year can be different.
No. 6 Ohio State hasn't faced a major test to this point, but the Buckeyes have outscored their opponents by a total of 101 points through three games. As Kyle McCord gets more comfortable as Ryan Day's quarterback, there's little doubt Ohio State will continue to improve. It might be tough, however, for McCord to go from hosting Youngstown State and Western Kentucky to playing in a raucous South Bend environment under the lights.
Just as important as the passing games will be the rushing attacks, particularly on Notre Dame's side. Audric Estime has quietly been one of the nation's best running backs this season, posting at least 95 yards and a touchdown on the ground in each of his four games. Will Ohio State have an answer for the Irish's balanced offense? The defense has looked strong early on in 2023.
With both schools aiming for a spot in the College Football Playoff, Saturday's matchup might be one that turns out to be all-important come December.
