The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes opened the 2022 season with a win in a low-scoring slugfest against No. 5 Notre Dame.
Playing without star WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba for most of the night, former walk-on Xavier Johnson scored the go-ahead touchdown, and RB Miyan Williams helped seal the win with tough runs into the heart of the Fighting Irish defense.
