Notre Dame’s 23-10 victory over Georgia in the College Football Playoff Quarterfinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl was a showcase of effective transfer portal usage. The No. 7 Fighting Irish, with nearly a half-dozen transfers, secured their 13th win of the season, the most in program history, and ended an eight-game losing streak in BCS/New Year’s Six bowl games. Key transfers included quarterback Riley Leonard, who threw for 90 yards and ran for 80, and defensive end RJ Oben, who made a crucial sack and forced fumble. Kick returner Jayden Harrison returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, the longest in Notre Dame postseason history. Kicker Mitch Jeter was perfect on field goals, converting all three attempts from over 40 yards. Notre Dame advances to face No. 6 Penn State in the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl on Jan. 9.
