Notre Dame downs Ohio State twice to open Big Ten play

·

This weekend, the 10th-ranked Irish opened up play in the Big Ten by heading to Columbus to take on the 16th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes in a two game series. After an eight-game home non-conference slate, the matchup with Ohio State (5-3-2, 1-3 Big Ten) marked both the first away games for the Irish (6-3-1, 2-0) and the first games in the conference since the Irish moved to the Big Ten this season. Notre Dame didn’t disappoint, picking up two big wins and returned to South Bend tied for first in the Big Ten. Irish head coach Jeff Jackson believed the change in conferences didn’t have a large effect on his team.
