Friends, it’s hard to believe it — but the final game, and thus the final opponent Q&A, are already here for the 2022 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football season. Color me super sad, y’all.
Today our 21st-ranked, 8-4 Irish will face off in Jacksonville in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl against the 8-4, 19th-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks in the two teams’ first meeting in 38 years. The Gamecocks are hot off huge wins over Tennessee and Clemson to finish their season, and feature both a potential NFL-caliber QB in Spencer Rattler as well as the top special teams group in the country.
