Taking a deeper look at the schemes and NFL Draft prospects that will define this weekend's showdown between Ohio State and Notre Dame.

Freeman’s team is 4-0 and feels like it’s on the verge of finding its footing as a tough, smart offensive club that swarms the ball and works hard to create disruption in the run game.

After the Indiana game, it was reasonable to be a bit nervous about where things were going for Day. However, Ohio State appears to have made some critical changes and might be close to finding the answers it needs.
