Former Notre Dame players stoked for Ohio State game

Tradition never graduates.

“Tradition never graduates” is one of those sayings you hear about college football and that has certainly applied the last couple of days as Notre Dame gets ready to take on Ohio State in the 2022 season-opener.

Notre Dame and Ohio State is one of those helmet games that you simply see the golden shine on one lid and the iconic Buckeye stickers on the other and you know it’s a contest that will be as rich in tradition as just about possible.

Many of those that used to wear those gold helmets have shared in their excitement for the contest.  Earlier we saw former Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet talking it up with former Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields on the Chicago Bears practice field, but plenty of former Irish players have taken to social media to express their excitement for the game.
