JT Tuimoloau made the difference in Ohio State's win over Notre Dame, Marcus Freeman calls the Buckeyes “a great team” and Ryan Day showed his “real” self on Saturday.
On Notre Dame's second-to-last offensive possession , JT Tuimoloau activated his clutch gene and helped the defense deliver a crucial stop for the Buckeyes.
On the next play, Notre Dame attempted a screen pass that Tuimoloau read perfectly. After an initial rush, the 6-foot-4, 269-pound defense end backpedaled in the receiver's direction and deflected Hartman's pass, nearly coming up with an interception. Had Tuimoloau failed to get his hand on the football, Notre Dame “may have had us,” Knowles admitted after the game.“JT made a couple of great plays,” Knowles said after the game.
We have to learn from the critical mistakes we made in that game as a football program and use it to help us improve as we move forward. But this game didn't come down to one play. There were multiple plays all over the game that we have to learn from. We have to be better."Is it bad that I like him?Regardless, I am thankful Freeman and his staff were smooth-brained on Saturday and did not realize there were 10 men on the field for the final two plays of the game, which made an Ohio State victory all but guaranteed.
