Buckeyes rally in final minute, defeat Irish 17-14

After Notre Dame (4-1) took a fourth-quarter lead on Saturday night, Ohio State (4-0) rallied with a touchdown in the final second of regulation, securing a 17-14 Buckeyes' victory over the Fighting Irish in a battle of Top Ten teams.

Notre Dame took the lead when Sam Hartman threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Rico Flores Jr. with 8:22 to go to make it 14-10. The Fighting Irish defense came up a fourth-down stop on its 11-yard line on the next drive.

But the defense couldn't come up with a second defensive stop. Notre Dame still hasn't beaten Ohio State since 1936. Ohio State appeared to have taken control when the Buckeyes stopped Hartman on fourth-and-1, and on the next play, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s block sprung TreVeyon Henderson for a 61-yard sprint down the sideline to make it 10-0 early in the third quarter.

The Irish finally got on the board when running back Gi'Bran Payne took a direct snap and scored on a 1-yard run. Hartman then capped a 96-yard TD drive with the TD pass to Flores. McCord took his biggest step forward yet Saturday by leading the Buckeyes to victory. Ohio State needs him to play the way he did on the final series.
