propman Not that i know of. I think this an oft-repeated fiction.

    Good game so far. Will ND QB be able to continue this running?

    Will Howard is playing an unbelievable game. ND is pressuring and loading the box up but Will is playing great.

      Do or die time for the Irish.

      I’d say so. ND might get more points but eventually OSU will time manage it to the end.

        Pretty one-sided affair really. Stopped watching after the 3rd quarter.

          Notre Dame is not the #2 team in the country that's for sure and was before this game started.

          It would've been a bad look for college football if its national champion lost at home to Northern Illinois.

          Alabama would've crushed Notre Dame.

            That’s hilariously silly. What’s more important than a football coach teaching life lessons to amazing athletes or your granddaughter’s teacher?!
            Hah-hah!

              OSU Is having their way. They’ve been a machine for weeks!

                Good game, great Ohio State team that $20 million can buy. ☺ As all major college football teams are much the same....."Ohio State’s athletic director, Ross Bjork, revealed in 2024 that the number from the university’s NIL collectives and brand affiliates was “around $20 million.” This appears to be an increase from the estimated $13 million figure that head coach Ryan Day shared at an NIL event in 2022."

                  Ohio State lost to a Michigan team tied for 7th in the Big 10 on their home field the last week of the regular season.

                  I thought turning college more into a verifiable pro league instead of an under the table pro league would deepen the divide between haves and have nots.

                  This year showed parity and not one truly dominant team.

                  Yipsy Alabama would've crushed Notre Dame.

                  It's irrelevant, but doubtful they would have "crushed" a team that beat Georgia. And yes we all know UGA was without their starting QB, but Notre Dame handled them at the line of scrimmage better than they did Penn State and Ohio State.

                        ND beat a UGA team with a backup QB. Not the same thing as the whipping Bama gave them.

                            Yipsy Not quite the whipping Alabama received from OU. 🙂
