Notre Dame upsetting Ohio State would be huge! It would be a statement game. A victory over a powerhouse like Ohio State on the road lets everyone know that Notre Dame is back among College Football’s elite.

This would be exactly the kind of victory the former head coach simply never got, a road win against a legitimate title contender. Notre Dame not only failed to win these games. They would always come up small in these games and disappoint their fans.

This is a measuring stick for Notre Dame and  new head coach Marcus Freeman as he kicks off the official beginning of his tenure with the Irish. Freeman is expected to change the culture that often led to the team being woefully unprepared emotionally, mentally and physically for those games.

If Notre Dame can pull off this hug upset there will be plenty of rejoicing within the Fighting Irish fan base. It will be a signal that a major shift has happened, and Notre Dame now has someone in charge of the program, one who can finally restore Notre Dame to be among the College Football elite once again.
