And here we go. Ohio State has a big one on tap this weekend, traveling to South Bend, Indiana, to take on a top-ten Notre Dame team that seems to be rolling right along with a good defense and balanced offense.
The Buckeyes took this matchup last year at home and the Fighting Irish would love nothing more than to get a little revenge and stake an early claim to consideration for the College Football Playoff.

Players to Watch
Ohio State
TreVeyon Henderson, Running Back – Of course quarterback Kyle McCord has to have a decent day, but that all starts with how well Ohio State can establish the running game with TreVeyon Henderson. He’s looked 100% healthy and is a game breaking player that can gash the defense and open things up through the air. He has to have a big game to take some pressure off of McCord and keep Notre Dame’s defense on its heals.
2023 stats
30 carries for 191 yards (6.4 avg.), 3 TDs
3 receptions for 45 yards (15.0 avg.), 0 TDs
Notre Dame
Sam Hartman, Quarterback – Sam Hartman has been a real difference maker for Notre Dame and might be the missing piece this team needed on offense to be a more balanced and dynamic group. The running game has been great this year, but it’s been largely because of the threat of experience and talent Hartman possesses every time he steps on the field. If he can dissect a very good OSU defense, it could be the difference in the game.
2023 stats
64-of-90 for 1,061 yards (71.1%), 13 TDs, 0 INTs
