Notre Dame football heads into the Orange Bowl against No. 4 Penn State coming off of its biggest win in decades. Head coach Marcus Freeman propelled the Fighting Irish to an impressive Sugar Bowl victory over No.

The pass blocking for Georgia was also abhorrent. The Notre Dame pass rush sacked Gunner Stockton four times, stripping the ball from him twice. Georgia was ineffective on third and fourth down, going 2/12 on third and 0/3 on fourth.

In an era that is now long gone, a trip to the Orange Bowl meant a break from the rough weather up north and the capper to a successful season that might even end with a championship trophy in the case.
