I would say ND by 10-14 points.

Offensive line and the defense are the issue for me.

 

Sawyer has zero bend to his game. JTT rarely bends around tackles. They are what they are.

 

I am having a hard time seeing how Ohio State wins this one.

Defense looks average at best.

No pressure is the worry for me.

I like ND due to the home field, better QB and very, very good offensive line and running back.

I look at Ohio State and they just do not see to be disruptive along the defensive line and that battle will decide the game.

 

Marcus Freeman is taking a more aggressive, attacking mindset into playing Ohio State than he did last year, and said Ryan Day has “done an unbelievable job” leading the Buckeyes. https://t.co/5lYTldVIej
