How did NDFootball look in its first game of the season? 🏈🍀 NotreDame OhioState CollegeFootball
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Early thoughts and observations by NDI columnist Tom Noie following Saturday’s game between No. 5 Notre Dame and No. 2 Ohio State, won by the Buckeyes, 21-10, in front of 106,594 at Ohio Stadium.∎ There’s another game coming for Notre Dame, right? Season didn’t end with this one?
∎ Forget all the potential of offensive fireworks, this felt like a Big Ten game in late October with a noon kick. A grinder. Irish defense just got ground down. Offense? Coulda/should did more. ∎ That first drive of the second half is one Notre Dame might want back. The Irish gained 35 yards on four plays and were bailed out by a late hit on Tyler Buchner. Up 10-7, the Irish needed more than what they did.
∎ Irish defensive coordinator Al Golden stares down that high-octane Ohio State offense and hands it a total of 150 yards in the first half. Yeah, that’s a pretty good quarter for the Buckeyes.the Audric Estime we’ve seen in bits and pieces in preseason camp, and the Estime we wondered if we’d see once the season arrived. We saw him.
∎ Better quarterback the first half — Buchner or Stroud? No contest. The rookie starter, not the Heisman hopeful. Then it flipped.∎ Ten minutes hadn’t even run off the clock and Notre Dame was tagged with two personal foul penalties and a pass interference on Ohio State’s first two offensive series. Bad look. Can’t-have look. Irish had to settle down, and settle in. They did.
