BUCKEYES AND FIGHTING IRISH WILL PLAY EACH OTHER IN 2022 AND 2023
Ohio State and Notre Dame set two-game series
Traditional college football powers will meet in 2022 and 2023
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State University and the University of Notre Dame, two of the most tradition-rich and winningest programs in all of college football, have agreed to a home-and-home series on the gridiron for the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
The Buckeyes, with seven national championships, seven Heisman Trophy winners, 850 victories and in its 125th season of football, and the Fighting Irish, owner of 11 national championships, seven Heisman Trophy winners and 875 victories, will kick off the 2022 season in Columbus on Sept 3. The return game in South Bend will take place Sept. 23, 2023.
“We are extremely pleased to have this series with Notre Dame scheduled,” Martin Jarmond, executive associate athletic director, said. “Notre Dame adds to the prestigious series of non-conference games we have been seeking to schedule that are competitive, attractive for our fans and exciting for our student-athletes to be a part.”
Ohio State’s impressive slate of future non-conference home-and-home series now features games with:
- Virginia Tech: Saturday in Columbus, and next year on Labor Day (Sept. 7) in Blacksburg, Va.;
- Oklahoma: Sept. 17, 2016 in Norman, Okla., and Sept. 16, 2017 in Columbus;
- TCU: Sept. 15, 2018 in Fort Worth, Texas, and Sept 21, 2019 in Columbus;
- Oregon: Sept. 12, 2020 in Eugene, Ore., and Sept. 11, 2021 in Columbus;
- Notre Dame: Sept. 3, 2022 in Columbus, and Sept. 23, 2023 in South Bend;
- Texas: Sept 17, 2022 in Austin, Texas, and Sept. 16, 2023 in Columbus; and
- Boston College: Sept. 9, 2023 in Columbus, and Sept. 2, 2024 (Labor Day) in Chestnut Hill, Mass.
Ohio State and Notre Dame have met just five times previously in football with Notre Dame winning the first two meetings way back in the 1930s: 18-13 at Ohio Stadium in 1935 and 7-2 at Notre Dame Stadium in 1936.
A two-game series took place in 1995 and 1996 with the Buckeyes winning both: 45-26 in 1995 behind Eddie George’s 207-yards rushing and 272-yards passing and four touchdowns from Bobby Hoying; and 29-16 the following year in South Bend as Pepe Pearson rushed for 173 yards and Greg Bellisari (14 tackles) led a standout defensive effort that limited the Irish to 280 total yards.
Ohio State and Notre Dame were also matched in the 2006 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, a 34-20 Ohio State win that gave Ohio State a 3-2 all-time edge in the series. Quarterback Troy Smith threw for 342 yards, Ted Ginn had eight receptions for 167 yards, Antonio Pittman rushed for 136 yards and A.J. Hawk led the defense with 12 tackles, including 3.5 TFLs.
Scholars program benefits Central Ohio students
Ohio State and Notre Dame share in a scholarship fund that benefits students from the state of Ohio who attend either institution. The Joyce Scholars program, funded by the Glenna R. Joyce Trust Fund, provides four-year full scholarships to outstanding students from 115 central Ohio high schools (within seven counties) who attend either Notre Dame or Ohio State. The Joyce Scholar program began in 1961.

THE RODA VIEW – THROUGH REALISTIC GLASSES
In order for the Indians to win the A.L. Central in 2014 they must get to at least 91 victories. Why 91? In the last five years the A.L. Central champ has won an average of 91 games. So with a (47-47) mark at the All-Star break, that means the “Wahoo Warriors” must go (44-24) in their final 68 games to have a chance to win the division. Last year the Tribe finished with 92 victories, but still finished a game behind division champ Detroit. So 91 is the minimum to avoid playing in that one game Wild Card scenario again.
I love that the Ohio State Buckeyes have at least five night games this season. Four of them are 8pm contests versus Virginia Tech, Penn State, Illinois and Michigan State, the other is a 6pm start against Cincinnati. There’s something special about night games in college football, especially when they’re played at “The Horseshoe” in Columbus. If you’ve never been to an O.S.U. game under the lights in C-Bus, you have three chances this season and I highly recommend it. The atmosphere under dark skies and bright lights is amazing. From the tailgating, to “TBDBITL” marching on to the field before the game and then performing “Script Ohio”, to the student section going crazy with the “Buckeye Bounce”, the “Quick Cals”, the O – H – I – O chant going around and around the stadium and then with the singing of “Carmen Ohio” following another Ohio State victory. So take advantage of your three opportunities this year and it will be a night you’ll never forget.
Even with LeBron James on the roster I’m going to have to disagree with Las Vegas. I don’t see the Cavaliers as the favorites to win the NBA Championship in 2015. The defending champs from San Antonio are back in tact and are at the top of my list. The Spurs are followed by the Thunder, the Clippers, the Bulls and then the Cavs for me. However should Cleveland G.M. David Griffin find a way to pull off a trade for Kevin Love while keeping Andrew Wiggins, I will be moving the Cavaliers up that list. How high? It all depends on who they have to give up in the deal with Minnesota and if necessary, a third team.
Not only will LeBron James help the Cavaliers, I believe he can help the Browns because he can advise, mentor and keep an eye on fellow “LRMR” client Johnny Manziel. While I’m not worried with what the swan riding, champagne drinking, selfie taking quarterback has done off the field to this point, I will be watching closely to see if those actions continue during the football season. If they do, then I will be concerned, but I believe “King James” will set “Johnny Football” straight and put him in his place if necessary.
Thank goodness Tiger Woods is back playing on the PGA Tour. As good as all those other guys are, and they’re pretty good, it’s just not the same when Tiger isn’t teeing it up any tournament. Welcome back Tiger as “The Chase to 18” resumes with this week’s British Open.
