SOUTH BEND, Ind. — No. 6 Ohio State has been dogged at times this season by doubts about its firepower. Two lackluster wins to open the season didn’t help even though the Buckeyes have beaten all three of their opponents by at least 20 points and never given up more than 10.
They have a chance to silence some of the doubters Saturday night (6:30 p.m., NBC-5) at No. 9 Notre Dame (4-0), a showcase game with potential implications for the College Football Playoff.
