COLUMBUS — Ohio State is just two days away from facing Notre Dame in the biggest season opener in recent memory.

The Buckeyes are prepping for the Fighting Irish inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center all week with the top-five showdown just a few days away. But the folks in South Bend are also gearing up to make the trip — with an early-season upset on their minds.

Lettermen Row’s Spencer Holbrook is joined this time by Blue & Gold Illustrated’s Tyler Horka, who covers the Fighting Irish, to break down the path to victory for Notre Dame against the Buckeyes, the advantages Notre Dame has and who to watch out for on Saturday night.

How ready is the Ohio State defense to defend Notre Dame tight end Michael Mayer on Sept. 3? How is the Notre Dame offense planning to challenge the new-look Ohio State defense? What are the expectations for this Saturday night under the lights inside Ohio Stadium? Spencer from Lettermen Row and Tyler from Blue.
