@johneldred4195 maybe you need to watch the game again. Luck had nothing to do with how tough “THEE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY” football team played today. Notre Dame got “LUCKY” that they only beat them by what they did!!

[@FaceFamous]

He got one thing right it was a long full day until the final buzzer

[@robertwhite3752]

@johneldred4195 yep. It was an outstanding game. I do think that def left points on the field and so did ND your right. I see us leaving more though. Really upset about what many people “STILL” are saying about Ohio State and especially what Holtz had to say, or rather didn’t. I think it was just highly uncalled for, especially if your Lou Holtz. Lost all my respect for him after that and so has many others. In the long run we’re all gonna see what Ohio State is made of though, but give the respect when it’s due. I think it boils down to a lot of jealousy myself.

[@IRI-2050]

As a graduate of THE Ohio State University, thanks coach holtz, you gave the OSU team and Coaches all the motivation they needed. Hope they stay mad the rest of the season. Go Bucks!

@@gregj831 I am too. It’s okay to take pride in your team and to make predictions, but not to trash your opponent and be so cocky and arrogant and acting 💯 sure you’re going to win.

Obviously awesome clip, but calling out Day for not winning big games? ND has gotten flogged in almost every big game for decades. Was Ryan Day the kicker last year against Georgia? Day is a great coach. Ohio State’s track record in big games is way better than ND’s pretty much since color tv.

Ohio state shittier than a porta potty at noon on taco day.

Yeah....uh....that's NOT how this came off. First off, Day's acting like he won this game by 21pts. 2nd, every word Holtz said was 100% true, and said by anyone else who's watched this team the past three years. ND outplayed Ohio State today. OSU didn't "win" anything....ND lost. This game just virtually guaranteed to everyone that OSU goes 10-2 at BEST. More like 9-4. And, in spite of this "win", OSU won't go anywhere in the rankings. Which is historic. Who goes 3-0, or 4-0 yet, DROPS in the rankings?!?! With that much denial going on inside your head, you're going to have a LOOOOONG season with this team.

Well.. Ohio State vs Notre Dame just ended and guess what Lou. Buckeyes got the W. Ohio State should have beaten Notre Dame by double digits but there was many failed opportunities. Wasn't the best looking win. But a win is a win. So lou can take that his opinion and shove it. Ohio State - 17 Notre Dame - 14 Ohio State's the better Team. Go Bucks!
