Seven seasons ago, Notre Dame made it to the Fiesta Bowl only to be clobbered 44-26 by Ohio State. It might as well have been a replay of how things ended 17 seasons ago, when the Irish were outclassed 34-20 by the Buckeyes in the Fiesta.
And 27 seasons ago? The Irish got smacked around 45-26 at Ohio Stadium in the front end of a home-and-home between the football powers. The Buckeyes rolled a year later in South Bend, too, by a count of 29-16.
