Notre Dame quarterback Tyler Buchner produced a roller coaster of a performance in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on Friday.
The Fighting Irish quarterback, who started in Friday’s game after Drew Pyne entered the transfer portal, threw for 274 yards on 18-of-33 passes for 274 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions while rushing for 61 yards and two scores on the ground.
In what went down as the highest scoring game in Gator Bowl history, Notre Dame overcame a 14-point deficit that also saw Buchner make up for his three interceptions—two returned for pick sixes—with the 16-yard game-winning strike to tight end Mitchell Evan.
