ESPN'S TAKE
Rod Gilmore Speed. Ohio State just had too much of it for Notre Dame. Troy Smith, Santonio Holmes and Ted Ginn Jr. were too much for the Irish to handle. The Buckeyes sprinted to 617 yards of total offense. Smith converted third down after third down to prevent Notre Dame from coming back. Notre Dame's other big problem was protecting QB Brady Quinn.

Troy Smith
QB Troy Smith torched Notre Dame for 342 yards and two TDs.
Perfect 10
Troy Smith's performance in Ohio State's 34-20 Fiesta Bowl win over Notre Dame resembled a breakout showing by another No. 10 last year, and that bodes well for the Buckeyes, writes Pat Forde. Story
