The kind of wide evening for CFB! Unbelievable to note a ethical playoff sport on campus in that atmosphere.@NDFootball solely owned Hoosiers…Every facet…The conservative coaching choices from @IndianaFootball became once now not what I expected
We rating to achieve this 3 extra instances the following day
Now, Notre Dame will face off in opposition to Georgia within the Sugar Bowl for a probability to abolish one in every of the last four spots within the CFP.
The Bulldogs will doubtless be shorthanded, as quarterback Carson Beck is in hazard of lacking the contest with an elbow misery.
The Struggling with Irish are blueprint to battle Georgia on Jan. 1.
