Notre Dame vs. Ohio State snap counts, participation chart: Offense
Here are the snap counts and participation chart for Notre Dame vs. Ohio State, as well as this season so far for the Irish. All data is via Pro Football Focus.
For some clarification: A pass snap, as PFF defines it, is running a route or dropping back to pass. A run snap equates to carrying the ball. Anyone who does not do those three things is either run blocking or pass blocking, depending on the play.

• The Irish remain committed to the five-headed monster at running back. Also, given how many run blocking snaps each running back had, the Irish used two-back sets frequently.
• Notre Dame trusts Rico Flores Jr. completely, as both a pass catcher and a run blocker.
• If you noticed a No. 85 on the field, that was swing tackle Tosh Baker, whom the Irish used 7 times as an extra offensive tackle. They put him in No. 85 to make him an eligible receiver, but he did not run a route.
• PFF thought left tackle Joe Alt ran a route, which is interesting.
• Freshman receiver Jaden Greathouse picked up his first career start.
