When Ohio State travels to South Bend to take on [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag], it will be one of the most anticipated games of the college football season.
Two top-tier programs with [autotag]College Football Playoff[/autotag] implications hanging in the balance. The Buckeyes won the first game of the home-home series last seasons, 21-10.
Both teams will have new starters at quarterback, the most important position on the field. Unlike last season, both squads will have a few games under their belts to iron out some issues, instead of trying to fix problem on the fly in an opener.
ESPN took a look at some of the biggest storylines during September and obviously the battle with the Irish and Buckeyes made the list. There were also some other parts of the game that they touched on. Find out below what ESPN thinks about Notre Dame hosting Ohio State and my take on their assessment.
