The Fighting Irish defeated the No. 19 Gamecocks 45-38 in the Gator Bowl on Friday by running 22 offensive plays that produced gains of 10+ yards, including two of the biggest pass plays of the season.
No. 21 Notre Dame outgained the Gamecocks by a 356-111 yard margin in the second half to wrap up the 2022 season with a 45-38 win over a ranked SEC opponent.
Each week, it's hard to predict if the Gamecock offense will show up. South Carolina hung 63 points on No. 5 Tennessee the week after scoring a single touchdown against Florida. Plus, several offensive starters entered the transfer portal ahead of the Gator Bowl.
