Special guest appearance by Vince Vaughn

Why we're excited for OSU at Notre Dame

  • Ohio State heads to South Bend feeling better about its offensive backfield, where quarterback Kyle McCord responded well last week after being named the starter, and running back TreVeyon Henderson is starting to recapture his 2021 form.

  • According to ESPN's Stats & Information group, the Buckeyes have a 5-2 record against the Fighting Irish that is the second best, trailing only University of Chicago, by any team to face Notre Dame at least four times. This matchup will be a test of Notre Dame's current strength.

  • Notre Dame heads into this matchup with its latest green jersey, a decades-old Fighting Irish tradition of the past 25 years.

Last time Ohio State was on CGD

Legendary "GameDay" analyst Lee Corso has picked Notre Dame 12 times throughout his 400 headgear picks, going 8-4 in those games. The last time he picked the Fighting Irish in South Bend in front of a crowd was in 2018 when Notre Dame beat Michigan. Corso has picked Ohio State's mascot head gear 39 times, the most of any team. His very first pick back in 1996, Ohio State has gone 26-13 in those games winning five of the last six regular season games.

This weekend marks CGD's third trip to a Notre Dame vs OSU game and its 11th visit to South Bend, Indiana.
