Notre Dame is making its fourth appearance in the Gator Bowl and first since losing to North Carolina State 28-6 in 2003. South Carolina is playing in the Gator Bowl for the fifth time and first since 1987.
The 19th-ranked Fighting Irish and the 20th-ranked Gamecocks will be without several of their best players when they meet in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl on Friday. Their first matchup since 1984 is more like a preview of 2023 than a wrap of 2022.
The Irish will turn to sophomore Tyler Buchner to replace Pyne. Buchner, a dual-threat quarterback, started and lost the first two games of the season before having shoulder surgery. Pyne started the next 10. Now, the Gamecocks are trying to win three consecutive games against ranked teams for the first time in school history. But coach Shame Beamer refuses to focus on the players who have left in the past month.NO MAYER, MAJOR PROBLEM
