Welcome back to another edition of Irish Illustrated Insider.

It's Tuesday, January 3rd.

I'm Tim Priester with Tim O'Malley from Irish Illustrated, Notre Dame with a 45-38 victory over South Carolina in Jacksonville, the Gator Bowl.

Say it again, Tim, T-I-A-A-A-Bankfield.

For some reason, I said it twice. I don't know why I need to do that. I know. I got it out both times.

I can't believe. I didn't blow it on film. But yeah, great win for Notre Dame, 4538. It looked so

improbable in the first half. Even when Nordy made a bit of a comeback, there was a moment in

there where, oh, well, it was a second interception by Buckner that, that it looked really grim for

Nordame. But, hey, Nordame outplayed them down the stretch. El Golden outcoached their offensive

decision makers in the second half.

I mean, you know, South Carolina only had one touchdown over the last 47 minutes,

offensive touchdown, that is.

Tyler Buckner gets the MVP.

I know he threw three interceptions with two pick sixes,

but other than the offensive line, you know, Tyler Bucker was deserving of that.

Tim, where do you start? I'm trying, I'm going all over the place, kind of like we did in the postgame

instant analysis. Where do you want to start today with this? Well, I think when you said Golden

held him to one touchdown the second half, it't that wasn't all he did it was a

top tier golden clark lee elko all the guys we've seen with the three and outs performance over

these last six years they they played better defense in that second half statistically then i

can remember these are the drives three plays five yards punt three Three plays five yards punt.

Three plays minus five yards punt.
