On Saturday, Notre Dame Head Coach Marcus Freeman took to the podium to talk about the upcoming Gator Bowl against the South Carolina Gamecocks, and the many moving parts within the program during their preparation. Without question, the quarterback situation is the most pressing issue at hand.
With the departure of Drew Pyne, Notre Dame lost a starter at quarterback who went 8-2 during his 10 starts, and looked really good in Notre Dame’s loss to USC in the regular season finale. The transfer portal quarterback that everyone wants, and the one that Pyne walked away from at Notre Dame — well he isn’t walking through that door for the bowl game.
