Part 3/7:
Ohio State's quarterback Howard had a strong night, completing 17 of 21 passes for 231 yards and running for 57 yards, while also making pivotal throws when it counted. His performance did not go unnoticed, as he was able to capitalize on Notre Dame’s defensive mishaps. On the other hand, Notre Dame suffered from its own issues, including a shaky defense during the first three quarters, which struggled and allowed Ohio State to pile on the points. However, credit was given to Notre Dame for their spirited fightback, especially in the fourth quarter when they managed to generate around 170 yards offensively.
