It will be a tough bout for Marcus Freeman and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at the College Football Playoff National Championship Game against the Ohio State Buckeyes in Atlanta, Georgia. The program is looking to write history against a team that has a history legacy of taking down opponents in clutch moments.

The Ohio State National Championship x-factor to watch is a player flying much further under the radar than Will Howard and Jeremiah Smith.

Defensive end Jack Sawyer and the Ohio State Buckeyes are set to compete in the National Championship Game on Monday against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Ohio State's last win over Michigan was in 2019 when Sawyer was in high school. However, this season's loss to the rival may have hurt the most for the senior defender, as it was on the Buckeyes' senior day. Plus, the game ended in a brawl between both teams after a Michigan flag was planted in the middle of Ohio State's field.

Theismann has spent a good bit of time around this team, and Tim Brown — Notre Dame’s last Heisman Trophy winner (1987) — has spent even more. Brown, who was at the Indiana and Penn State playoff games, has gotten to know Freeman and several key players well.

QB Riley Leonard and the Fighting Irish have faced a fierce gauntlet of defenses on their path to the title game, but the nation’s top-ranked unit awaits them on Monday.
