No one should expect Notre Dame and South Carolina to look — or probably play — like they did late in the regular season.
Several of the defectors — Mayer, Foskey, Pickens, Reed, Smith and Rush — are getting a jump on preparing for the NFL draft. Pyne, Lloyd, Bell and Stogner entered the transfer portal with plans to play elsewhere. Hart, Ademilola and Vann are injured. Brooks is dealing with an undisclosed, off-field issue.“With opt-outs, you don’t know. You don’t know what you’re going to see,” Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said Thursday. “We’ll have an idea.
“I think he’s ready to roll,” Freeman said. “You talk about a guy that hasn’t played football for probably Week 2 to Week 12. He had some time where he wasn’t on the practice field. He’s been magnificent in practice. He’s done a great job of leading the offense.”South Carolina, meanwhile, will have one significant constant on offense: quarterback Spencer Rattler. The former Oklahoma star came on strong in November.
