Alright, so I got curious the other day about something totally random: Has Notre Dame ever beaten Ohio State in football? I mean, they’re both huge teams, right? So I figured I’d dig in and find out.
First, I jumped onto Google – my usual go-to for these kinds of quick questions. I just typed in “Notre Dame vs Ohio State football record”.
Initial Search Results
The first few things that popped up were all about their overall record against each other. It became pretty clear, pretty fast, that these two teams haven’t actually played each other that many times.
- Scrolled through a bunch of articles and sports websites.
- Saw a lot of stuff about their recent games, especially the one in 2023.
- Noticed that Ohio State seems to have the upper hand… by a lot.
Digging Deeper
I wanted to be absolutely sure, though. So I went to some more “official” looking sites, like the NCAA’s website, maybe even the teams’ individual websites. I was looking for a complete list of all their matchups, ever.
The Verdict
Okay, after spending a good chunk of time on this, here’s what I found out:
The answer to my main question is a pretty simple YES.
It wasn’t easy to find, but I managed to confirm it. Not a ton of wins for Notre Dame, but they have managed it! I feel like I actually learned something today!
