You’ve got a number of free trials you can choose from of various lengths and breadths.

For the first time this season, the No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes are taking a step up in competition as they travel to South Bend, Indiana to face off with Marcus Freeman’s No. 9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The game is the centerpiece to an absolutely fantastic day of college football that fans will not want to miss.

However, as cord-cutting has become far more the norm than the exception across the United States, it would not be a surprise if you gave up cable or a live-streaming service following last year’s season only to realize that it’s the day of the game and you have no way to watch it.

And I know it can be incredibly confusing to find the best way to watch a game in today’s entertainment landscape. Fortunately for you, I am something of a streaming expert... no really, I write about streaming services for a living. So, I am going to walk you through the best — and cheapest — ways for you to stream today’s game.

Also, if you want to put a little money on the game over at DraftKings Sportsbook, not only would it make what could be a blowout even more exciting, but you could make enough cash to pay for a full month of cable or streaming!

Jeremiah Smith | 247Sports

The Buckeyes hit the jackpot with five-star commit, Jeremiah Smith.

Jeremiah Smith proves he’s the best yet again​


Ohio State currently has the No. 1 pass catcher in America in Marvin Harrison Jr., and if there was any doubt, following a dominant performance on ESPN2 on Thursday night, there should be no question that they also have the top guy coming in following the season as well. Jeremiah Smith and his Chaminade Madonna squad took on Miami Central in a game nationally televised game last night with several Division I commits on both rosters; and while I might be biased, Smith stood out.

Scoring multiple times in a 31-28 win, Smith’s touchdowns were not only helpful in leading his team to the victory but were also highlight reel-type plays that show just how talented he really is. What makes his success even more impressive is that these types of reps are coming against some of the top high school programs in the country. While these catches would be impressive against any opponent, the caliber of talent he is facing on a weekly basis sets him atop of the country and is the reason he’s the top-ranked player and receiver in the nation for the 2024 class per the 247Sports Composite grades.

After the contest, Smith took time to talk with multiple reporters about his recruitment and while the in-state Florida programs — such as Miami and Florida State — are still working to flip his commitment from Ohio State, Smith has stayed committed to his word. Sure, the trips to other campuses have stirred up plenty of worry within Buckeye Nation, but in today’s recruiting world, that’s just the way it is, especially with the nation’s top player hailing from the state of Florida, which boasts multiple blue-blood programs.

Where he’s been consistent, is in saying that as long as Brian Hartline and Ryan Day are in Columbus, that is where he intends to be. At this point, you just have to try and believe that to be the case. The return trip to Ohio State that Smith made last weekend for an unofficial visit is noteworthy because it was on his own dime, and though he’s taking trips to other schools for official visits this fall, take a deep breath and appreciate how incredible he looked last night and how consistent he has been with his feelings toward Ohio State.

Quick Hits: ​

  • Though it’s an away game tomorrow night, the Buckeyes and Notre Dame are recruiting several of the same targets, which makes it a big game for both sides. For Ohio State, it’s important to play well considering many of the kids in South Bend will be coming to Columbus later this season, including Georgia defensive back Devin Williams.

The No. 62 player nationally, Williams is the seventh-ranked cornerback in the 2025 class per the 247Sports Composite Ratings and will be in South Bend this weekend, taking it all in. While this visit is for the Irish, Williams will be in Columbus on Oct. 21 when the Buckeyes host Penn State.

  • Ohio State’s creative media team continues to work its magic as it sends out graphics each week to several of the team’s biggest recruiting targets. Taking to his Twitter to share the latest, class of 2025 prospect Dante McClellan is feeling the love from the Buckeyes.

A 6-foot-3, 200-pound athlete, McClellan does not currently hold an Ohio State offer, but schools such as USC, Kentucky, Minnesota, and several others are already in the fold.

McClellan is the No. 315 player nationally and the 23rd athlete in the class per the 247Sports Composite grades and the attention from the staff is a good sign that if he continues to play well, an offer from the in-state power may be in the near future.

LGHL Three Things To Watch from Notre Dame

NCAA Football: Central Michigan at Notre Dame

Matt Cashore-USA TODAY Sports

The Buckeyes travel to South Bend for the first big test of the 2023 season

For the first time since 1996, Ohio State will trek to South Bend, Indiana to play the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Ohio State and Notre Dame have faced each other in the 2006 Fiesta Bowl (Ohio State 34, Notre Dame 20) and the 2016 Fiesta Bowl (Ohio State 44, Notre Dame 28), but the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish have only met in regular season contest five times, with OSU having won the last three times. If Notre Dame wins this game, it will be the first time since a 12-7 win in South Bend back on Oct. 31, 1936.

The hype for this game is palpable, as it will be a national broadcast on NBC at 7:30pm ET. ESPN’s College Gameday will be on campus, a pretty notable acknowledgement that this is a significant game for the college football landscape.

ESPN's "College GameDay" will broadcast live from the Hesburgh Library lawn from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Notre Dame has invited their top recruiting targets for this game, as they believe this will be a tremendous showcase for their program. And in a nod to their program’s history, Notre Dame will be wearing green jerseys, something that is only done on very special occasions.

Last year, Ohio State and Notre Dame met in the 2022 season opener for both teams, as Ohio State won 21-10. At that time, Ohio State had an established quarterback in C.J. Stroud, and a seasoned offensive line, anchored by left tackle Paris Johnson, Jr., while Notre Dame struggled with its passing attack with former quarterback Tyler Buchner, now at Alabama.

One year later, the situation has switched, with Notre Dame featuring an experienced quarterback in Wake Forest graduate transfer Sam Hartman piloting the Fighting Irish offense, and a talented offensive line protecting him, led by left tackle Joe Alt. Ohio State features three new starters along their offensive line, and Kyle McCord will be making his fifth start at quarterback on the road at night against a stout Notre Dame defense.

Below are Three Things To Watch From Notre Dame, as this game has college football playoff implications for both teams...

  1. How Will Kyle McCord handle the defensive pressure?

I alluded to this up above, as McCord has not yet faced as talented a defensive opponent as he will against Notre Dame. Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman has a defensive background, and will probably unveil some new blitz packages that the Buckeyes have not seen in their film preparation. Ohio State fans will recognize former Buckeye DE Javonte Jean-Baptiste, who is now wearing jersey No. 1 for the Fighting Irish.

Kyle McCord has impressed with his quick progressions in the passing game, and that is why I will not be surprised if Ohio State TE Cade Stover is often a check down option for McCord in the event Notre Dame is blitzing on passing plays. McCord needs to continue to play smart football, taking what the defense gives him.

2. Will Ohio State be able to pressure Notre Dame’s Sam Hartman?

I wrote about the formidable Notre Dame offensive line, led by Joe Alt. Conversely, Ohio State’s defensive end tandem of Jack Sawyer and J.T. Tuimoloau will be needed to apply pressure on Notre Dame’s Sam Hartman. More than likely, Tuimoloau will be lined up opposite of Alt, so this is a battle to keep eyes and ears upon, as both Alt and Tuimoloau can use this game to boost their respective NFL Draft stock.

3. Is Ohio State ready for their first test of 2023?

In my article reflecting upon Ohio State’s 63-10 win over Western Kentucky, I wrote, “Looking at these first three games for Ohio State, I have reflected that it was almost like an NFL team’s preseason schedule.”. Preseason is now over, as Notre Dame has established themselves as a legitimate top ten team, with college football playoff aspirations.

In many ways, Ohio State has been able to identify areas of concern (offensive line play, short yardage running plays), while also determining that Kyle McCord should be their starting quarterback. This is not the Notre Dame team that Ohio State faced in last year’s season opener, as Sam Hartman has given the Fighting Irish a legitimate passing option, while Notre Dame RB Audric Estime is the type of player who will wear down an opposing defense with his physical style of play. Both sides of the ball will need to be at their best for Ohio State in this one.


This should be a good one, and I am expecting a tough, hard-nosed game that will stress both teams. Considering how it will be at night, and the Notre Dame fans will be trying to create a raucous atmosphere after a whole day of liquid preparation, it will be crucial for Ohio State to try and stem the home tide early. I see this going down to the wire, and it would not surprise me if Ohio State PK Jayden Fielding is needed to put the winning points on the board, late in the contest.

I have it Ohio State 31, Notre Dame 28.
