NEW ORLEANS -- Notre Dame's 23-10 victory against Georgia in a College Football Playoff quarterfinal game at the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Thursday might have been a 60-minute informercial on how to effectively use the transfer portal.

Nearly a half-dozen transfers who joined the No. 7 Fighting Irish before the 2024 season helped them capture one of their biggest victories in decades against the No. 2 Bulldogs. It was Notre Dame's 13th win of the season, the most in program history, and it snapped an eight-game losing streak in BCS/New Year's Six bowl games.
