Photos From Ohio State's 21-10 Win Over Notre Dame
While Ohio State’s offense gets most of the attention, and rightfully so, the defense shut Notre Dame out in the second half on the way to a 21-10 victory in the season opener at Ohio Stadium on Saturday night.
“The story of the night was the defense,” head coach Ryan Day said afterward. “To turn around and play the way they did after what’s been said about them in the offseason, questioning their toughness, and play the way they did against the No. 5 team in the country, I’m proud of our guys.”
Quarterback C.J. Stroud threw a pair of touchdown passes for the Buckeyes, including the go-ahead score to fifth-year senior wide receiver Xavier Johnson, who was playing in place of injured junior Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Defensively, Ohio State was led by redshirt junior linebacker Tommy Eichenberg, who finished with nine tackles, three tackles for loss and two of the Buckeyes’ three sacks.
