Welp, this could get ugly for Notre Dame.
Already down three defensive starters and its defensive newcomer of the year, the Irish lost LB Jaylon Smith, a likely Top 5 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
The next play ended with Michael Thomas dancing in the endzone.
The 43-yard drive took three plays and 45 seconds, and ended with J.T. Barrett and Thomas linking up for a 15-yard score that eventually put the Buckeyes up 14-0 on Notre Dame midway through the first quarter.
