The Camping World Bowl may not have been the bowl that Notre Dame was looking for, but the Irish couldn’t have asked for a better result.
Notre Dame closed out an 11 win season with a 33-9 victory over the Iowa State Cyclones. It was a solid performance across the board that showcased players on their way out as well as future superstars of South Bend.
In doing so, the Irish secured their first back to back 11 win season since 1988-89, capping off an up and down decade that for the most part was successful.
