COLUMBUS — In two years at Notre Dame, Lorenzo Styles Jr.'s best receiving game was against Oklahoma State in the 2021 Fiesta Bowl: eight receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown. His longest catch? Well, that was against Ohio State in 2022, and it went for 54 yards. Those career highs had a common denominator. They were both against Jim Knowles defenses.
