Seventh-ranked Ohio State (4-0) scored three touchdowns following Irish turnovers during a 5 1/2-minute span in the third quarter, and beat No. 15 Notre Dame 45-26 Saturday in the first meeting of the schools since 1936.
Holtz, who coached Notre Dame (3-2) from the sideline for the first time since undergoing spinal surgery Sept. 12, watched as the Irish gave the ball away on three straight possessions that led to Ohio State touchdowns.
It only seems like 59 years since the Prairie View Panthers won a game. The Panthers' 64-0 loss to Grambling on Saturday was merely their 51st in a row, a college record. Not since Oct. 28, 1989 has Prairie View won. The victory was coach Eddie Robinson's 399th.
The longest current winning streak in Division I-A, the top collegiate level, ended when Wisconsin won in its first visit to State College, Pennsylvania, 17-9 over No. 6 Penn State. The Nittany Lions had won 20 in a row.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
