It's taxslayerbowl time. Follow the Times-Union's live blog for updates from TIAA Bank Field as Notre Dame takes on South Carolina.
The TaxSlayer Gator Bowl returns to Jacksonville on Friday, December 30, 2022, with the annual college football tradition matching the nationally-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the South Carolina Gamecocks at TIAA Bank Field. Kickoff is 3:30 p.m. and the television broadcast will be on ESPN.
Notre Dame enters with an 8-4 record, although the Fighting Irish lost the last time out against USC. With quarterback Drew Pyne entering the transfer portal, Notre Dame is expected to return the starting job to Tyler Buchner, who had been out of action since suffering a shoulder injury in September against Marshall. This will be Notre Dame's fourth visit to the Gator Bowl and the first since Jan. 1, 2003, when they lost 28-6 to N.C. State.
South Carolina, also 8-4, enters on a high note after back-to-back victories over top-10 teams, scoring 63 points against Tennessee and then edging traditional rival Clemson 31-30. Quarterback Spencer Rattler, an Oklahoma transfer, threw for nearly 800 yards in those wins. The Gamecocks have played four previous Gator Bowls, three in the 1980s, but haven't taken the field in Jacksonville since a 30-13 loss to LSU on Dec. 31, 1987.
