Ohio State and Notre Dame will square off in the national title game on Monday, and one of the biggest storylines/connections between the two schools is that Fighting Irish head coach Marcus Freeman played for and got his coaching start with the Buckeyes. Everyone already knows that connection, but there are actually more connections than just the one with Freeman between the two programs. Today, Lettermen Row, shares all of the connections between the two blue bloods ahead of Monday night's national title tilt.
