Quick Recap: Notre Dame wins a wild Gator Bowl over South Carolina, 45-38

It was a game that felt more and more unpredictable as the week went along, and it certainly started out as a wild prelude to a wild game that ended with a 45-38 Notre Dame win over South Carolina.

The South Carolina Gamecocks won the toss and took the ball — and then they went 75 yards on 10 plays with a really crisp drive that ended with a 13 yard touchdown pass from Spencer Rattler to Xavier Legette. Notre Dame was forced into a 3 and out punt on their next possession, as Tyler Buchner looked very rusty.
