Most Ohio State fans probably weren’t expecting the dogfight that took place between their team and Notre Dame. For a lot of the game, the possibility of their season getting off to a rocky start or even being derailed looked very real. In the end, there was nothing to worry about as the Buckeyes came on strong late to earn to a 21-10 win over the Irish and start the season 1-0.
In general, Buckeyes fans merely were happy to earn a win that was expected to happen anyway. However, some of them couldn’t help but throw shade Notre Dame’s way. It wasn’t unwarranted in part because the Irish now have a 2-5 all-time record against the Buckeyes. They are one of the few programs to have a winning record against the Irish, who haven’t won in the series since 1936.
