If No. 2 Notre Dame is to hang with No. 5 Ohio State tonight the belief is that the Fighting Irish will have to take the air out of the ball to a certain degree and limit possessions because the Buckeyes offense is perhaps the best in the nation and can score in virtually no time. A key way to be able to keep possession is obviously by having a successful run game and a key injury upfront for Notre Dame has left questions as to who will play this evening.
[autotag]Jarrett Patterson[/autotag], a potentially All-American interior lineman who switched from center to left guard this year, remains a game-time decision for tonight’s clash in Columbus. [autotag]Zeke Correll[/autotag] gets the start at center tonight and if Patterson is unable to go, sophomore [autotag]Rocco Spindler[/autotag] would be expected to make his first career start.
We’ll keep you posted throughout the day as to anything that comes with this and any other storylines regarding Notre Dame-Ohio State.
