Highlights: Ohio State 21, Notre Dame 10 — Irish defense holds until the fourth, but then Buckeyes strength shows

When Notre Dame designed its game plan to try to upset No. 2 Ohio State on Saturday night, it did not specifically intend to reduce the number of highlights in the top-five matchup, but that was a natural byproduct of slowing the game down. Fewer plays, with an emphasis on the ground game, would lead to fewer highlights. And the No. 5 Irish (0-1) pushed that approach to the limit in the 21-10 loss, to such an extent that the Buckeyes (1-0) even leaned into chewing the game clock late.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — If Hollywood wrote the start of the Marcus Freeman Era at Notre Dame, it would have deemed this script too misleading, too wrenching for a typical sports film.
