No. 2 Ohio State rallies past No. 5 Notre Dame in the second half, but it wasn't supposed to be this close.
Last year's defensive meltdown led Ohio State to hire former Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, who piloted a unit that finished first in the Big 12 and fourth nationally last season in yards allowed per game.
