SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Three hundred and forty-eight days ago, true freshman third-string quarterback DeShone Kizer stood on the sideline in Tallahassee, Florida, as Notre Dame Fighting Irish football nearly toppled the then-No. 2 Florida State Seminoles inside a Doak Campbell Stadium crammed with more than 82,000 rabid fans.
A season later, Kizer is reflecting on that experience as he prepares to lead No. 6 Notre Dame into Memorial Stadium on Saturday night for a clash with the No. 12 Clemson Tigers.
