On the season finale of Notre Dame Federal Credit Union's Irish Sports Saturdays, hosts Angelo Di Carlo and John Brach recap Notre Dame's Gator Bowl win over South Carolina and reflect on the 2022 Irish football season. They look at the play of quarterback Tyler Buchner, discuss the likelihood of ND landing Sam Hartman as a transfer QB & ask the question--was this a successful season? Of course, the context of that is that it was year one with Marcus Freeman as head coach. They also give out their final grades position by position, look ahead to 2023 and give their predictions for the College Football Playoff. Thank you for listening to Iris Sports Saturdays all season!
