From New Orleans, Louisiana and the Sugar Bowl, I'm Tim Priest with Tim O'Malley from Irish

Illustrated, John Bryce of Football Scoop, and Pete Sampson of the Athletic.

We are finally a little more than 24 hours away from Notre Dame, taking on Georgia in the 91st

annual Sugar Bowl.

We have spent some time, some really

valuable time with the players, the entire team and the whole coaching staff, which is only

afforded at bowls of this magnitude. We did that, what's today, Tuesday. We did that on Monday.

We just had a press conference with Marcus Freeman and Kirby Smart.

But let's talk about getting together with the players because a whole bunch of interesting interviews.

And I didn't go.

Tim, I know you didn't either. Pete, I saw you working on some different stuff.

And J.B., I know you were working on some different stuff.

We didn't go to the usual suspects.

It was an opportunity to talk to a bunch of the other players in many instances,

injured players, including CJ Carr.

Tim, you can talk about that a little bit further.

I had an opportunity to speak with Tyler Buckner, which was great.

But anyway, enough.

Tim, jump in.

The first I wanted to do was, you know,

I want to talk to CJ Carr and all the injured guys and players like Gerby Lambert,

but I wanted to talk to people that might play in the quarter final playoff game
