The upcoming Notre Dame vs. Ohio State football game has sparked debate about Notre Dame's strategy of relying on man coverage against Ohio State's high-powered passing game. While Notre Dame maintains their commitment to this approach, some question its effectiveness against such a potent offensive threat. The article also explores other key factors in the game, including Notre Dame's run game and insights from last season's matchup.
The storylines are clear—Marcus Freeman facing his alma mater, Ryan Day's redemption tour, and whether Notre Dame can pull Ohio State into another rock fight like the one that ended the Buckeyes' regular season.
But in an era where highlights and sound bites typically dominate the narrative, one specific discussion about what will happen on the field has remained above the fold: the Irish's reliance on man coverage against this explosive Buckeye passing game.
Although the success of the OSU passing game may well be the deciding factor in this contest, it won't be the only one. While there isn't much we can take from last season's regular season matchup between these two teams when the Irish have the ball, as they replaced both quarterback and coordinator this past winter, we can learn plenty from Al Golden's defensive game plan that night in South Bend.
