Lou Holtz made several comments about Ohio State and their football team before their game against Notre Dame on September 23, 2023. Some of his comments include:
- "Notre Dame is a better football team than Ohio State".
- "We have the best offensive line in the country, Sam Hartman wont even get touched".
- "You tell them better bring your lunch because it's going to be a full damn day's work".
- "The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will clean Ryan Day's Ohio State".
These comments were made on different occasions, including on The Pat McAfee Show and in interviews with various news outlets.
