I have a good feeling about this game now. What a difference 1 week makes because this time last week I didn’t feel great.

I think our guys want this challenge. I think they want to show up in a big way considering our last 2 big game losses.

I didn’t realize NDs interior offense was new this year. I think much like last year our DTs are going to give them a ton of trouble. Combine that with ND having a average DL and I think we can take the LOS again.

I was thinking a bit as I always do lol…

The guys have to be tired of hearing how good ND is at OL, RB and QB. For the first time in a very long time our offense isn’t the one being talked about (outside of Marv).

That can’t be sitting well with the OL, RB and QB rooms at Ohio State. Certainly not with Ryan Day.

I think those rooms are going to be ultra motivated to prove a point tomorrow night.

Yeah, the coaches and players are fired up for this one.

WOW!! What a drive!! One of the most exciting finishes ever.
Not ready to anoint them as the '73 defense, but the last 2 weeks have been impressive showings.
Not sure about some play calling, not sure about saving that last time out and letting 40 seconds run off the clock, but I am sure 17 is better than 14.
All wins are good. Beating the Domers is always special. Beating the Domers in their house in the last second is fantastic!!

The 1936 game that ND won in combeback fashion was labelled the "game of the century." Maybe this should be the "game of the (21st) century."

College football 2023: Best non-conference games of season headlined by Florida State-LSU opener​

2. OHIO STATE AT NOTRE DAME, SEPT. 23​

11303130.png
​


Notre Dame has three matchups scheduled against College Football Playoff hopefuls this year, but so as to not clog up this list with Fighting Irish games, we elected to slot just the single best of them here. Ohio State is arguably the program’s top opponent in 2023, though USC and Clemson also provide for thrilling contests. This game should provide insight into Notre Dame’s ability to compete at the national level in year two of the Marcus Freeman era, and it is an early test for the Buckeyes as they look to prove their worth as a national title contender.

Just sayin': Both Ohio Sate and Notre Dame have a bigger "national draw" than LSU and Free Shoes. I'll say the Ohio State - Notre Dame game gets the higher TV ratings.

Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman explains what's different about 2023 rematch with Ohio State​

The Notre Dame coach didn't hold back his excitement about facing the Buckeyes again this season.​

Marcus Freeman's debut season at Notre Dame was spoiled to a degree by a 1-2 start, aided by a loss to Ohio State. The two programs clash again in 2023 on Sept. 23 and Freeman said his squad is “looking forward” to hosting the rematch. Notre Dame finished the 2022 campaign 9-4 after rattling off a five-game winning streak late in the season. The streak included signature victories over Clemson and South Carolina, with the latter coming in the Gator Bowl.

“I think you can look back to last year in that first game, you're really, your true first game as a head coach, and you go back to your alma mater, and you face a really good football team,” Freeman said on Good Morning Football. “We were up with maybe one minute left in the third quarter and we end up losing 21-10. But I think you play them close enough that you kind of mask some of the issues that you have as a program and as a team. Then the next week we lose to Marshall and that to me is really where you said, 'Okay, we have to rip off all the layers and figure out what's the issues and really try to correct them with a sense of urgency.'

“That's what we're able to do. But you know, as you fast forward this year, we'll play them in Week 5 for us. It's Week 4 in the season, but since we play Week Zero, it’ll be Week 5 for us, so we'll know what our football team is all about. We'll know what our strengths are. Listen, it's a lot tougher to play a game in Notre Dame Stadium. We're looking forward to the opportunity.”
