Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Ohio State Buckeyes 9/3/2022 Picks Predictions Previews

 

The #5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish will go against the #2 Ohio State Buckeyes in NCAAF action in Ohio Stadium, OH, on Saturday, September 3, 2022, at 7:30 PM ET.

 

Under head coach Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame is now in its inaugural regular season (11-2 in 2021). After Brian Kelly left for LSU, Freeman took over as the head coach for the Fiesta Bowl defeat to Oklahoma State.

 

With Al Golden taking over Freeman’s former position and serving as Notre Dame’s new defensive coordinator after six seasons in the NFL, the defense is anticipated to be strong.

 

Tyler Buchner, a sophomore quarterback, was selected as Notre Dame’s starting on Saturday. The bad news for Buchner is that when starting slot receiver Avery Davis tore the ACL in his right knee during practice on Friday, he lost a key target for the rest of the season.

 

Davis’ departure leaves Braden Lenzy as the lone wideout with experience starting games. Michael Mayer, a third-year tight end who caught 71 receptions for 840 yards and seven scores last year, will be Buchner’s top target to watch for.

 

  • The Notre Dame Fighting Irish is 7-1 SU in their last 8 matches. 
  • Notre Dame is 9-0 SU in their last 9 matches on the road. 
  • The Fighting Irish is 5-1 SU in their last 6 matches in the Big Ten Conference.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Ohio State Buckeyes Predictions 9/3/2022

 

After an 11-2 year in 2021, Ryan Day is in his fourth season as Ohio State’s head coach and is 34-4. After losing to Michigan 42-27 to finish the regular season and any playoff ambitions, Ohio State’s 48-45 Rose Bowl victory against Utah wasn’t much of a consolation for the Buckeyes.

 

CJ Stroud, Ohio State’s starting quarterback, directs the offense. Stroud, now a junior, completed 71.9% of his throws last season for 4,435 yards, 44 touchdowns, and only six interceptions.

 

TreVeyon Henderson, a sophomore running back for the Buckeyes who amassed 1,248 yards and 15 touchdowns, is returning as their leading rusher.

 

Henderson added 27 receptions for 312 yards and four more touchdowns. Two of Stroud’s top three receivers left for the NFL, but sophomore wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who led the team in catches (95) and receiving yards, is back (1,606).

 

  • The total went OVER in 13 of Ohio State’s last 19 matches. 
  • The Ohio State Buckeyes are 10-1 SU in their last 11 matches. 
  • Ohio State is 6-0 SU in their last 6 matches at home.

#5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs #2 Ohio State Buckeyes. The NCAAF pick for this game is the #2 Ohio State Buckeyes.

 

For a time, Notre Dame’s defense might be able to keep the score close, but expect Ohio State to have the upper hand in the second half. Simply said, the Buckeyes’ offensive arsenal and experience are simply too strong.

 

The Fighting Irish and their inexperienced quarterback are at a significant disadvantage against the formidable Ohio State defense after losing their top receiver only one week before the season opener.

 

The #2 Ohio State Buckeyes will win with a predicted score of 39-21.
