One of my favorite non-major bowl games, as the winning coach gets himself a nice mayo bath. Both the Terps and the Wolfpack have been dealing with opt-outs galore, with Maryland tight end CJ Dippre and NC State quarterback Devin Leary being the most notable absentees, as both players have hit the transfer portal (Dippre announced yesterday via…

The Gator Bowl hasn't been kind to either of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (8-4, 6-6 ATS) or the South Carolina Gamecocks (8-4, 7-5 ATS). However, it's been a touch gentler with Notre Dame. The #19 Gamecocks played in the first Gator Bowl in 1946 and lost 26-14 to Wake Forest. Since that game, South Carolina also came out second best in the 1980,…

Here are a couple of theories: Venue: Notre Dame Stadium is gonna have a strong orange presence for this game, but it's still going to be an…

Caleb Williams entered Saturday's game against Notre Dame with an unexpected additional storyline swirling around him. With C.J. Stroud and Ohio State losing to Michigan, it seemed like the Heisman Trophy was suddenly Williams' to lose. And he did nothing to relinquish his grip in USC's 38-27 win over Notre Dame. Williams was sensational,…
