At first, it seemed like both offenses were aiming for a shootout. Two big touchdown plays just over two minutes apart in the first quarter made the impression that it was going to be a high-scoring affair. However, the two teams only scored a combined 23 points in the final three quarters. And what's more, Ohio State's offense only managed to score two field goals in the second half. Fortunately for them, that was enough.

The biggest play of the game came on a 59 yard touchdown reception from Jeremiah Smith before the first half ended. If not for that, the Fighting Irish would've had the lead at halftime. Who knows how that could've affected the game. Nevertheless, the Buckeyes maintained a lead for most of the game.
