Joe Lyberger, a defensive quality control coach for Ohio State, is under investigation for alleged misconduct just weeks after the Buckeyes' national championship victory.

Instead of crying over another collapse, Ohio State can celebrate another national title after holding off a Notre Dame comeback bid Monday night to walk away with a nailbiter of a 34-23 victory over the Fighting Irish.

The Irish, fresh off losing a national title game to the Buckeyes, reportedly hired defensive coordinator Chris Ash on Wednesday. The deal is expected to be finalized shortly.

Notre Dame and Ohio State rest somewhere in the middle on roster construction, leaning toward high school recruits.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish made a splashy hire to replace Al Golden as their next offensive coordinator by bringing in Chris Ash. The former head coach at Rutgers has been everywhere, man, including a notable run with Ohio State previously.

After losing Al Golden to the Cincinnati Bengals for their defensive coordinator position, the Irish have landed their replacement who brings vast experience across college and the NFL.
