Eight thoughts on Notre Dame’s season-ending victory over South Carolina in the Gator Bowl, which had a little bit of everything, including the kind of forward-thinking optimism that only comes from closing out a head coach’s debut season with a trophy.

Marcus Freeman is no longer “first-year head coach Marcus Freeman,” and all of my stories just got two words shorter. Notre Dame football got a lot more solid, too.

Four years ago as a freshman at LSU, Ja’Marr Chase needed to take the next step. He had some nice moments that first fall, some big plays down the sideline with Joe Burrow, but he caught just 17 passes through 12 games. The game wasn’t slowing down for him yet.

Then came the Fiesta Bowl. He had three extra weeks of practice. He had time to work on the little things outside of game prep. And against UCF, he finally had his breakout game with six catches for 93 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown grab.

Iowa-Kentucky had the lowest over/under point total on record (31 or 31.5), and the under hits with one offensive touchdown, two defensive scores and 18 punts.

Music City Bowl more than lived up to the hype.

At the end of three quarters, Iowa still leads Kentucky 21-0 in the Music City Bowl. As expected, the defenses continue to dominate the depleted offenses. The Wildcats have 156 yards to Iowa's 130 but nine of their 11 possessions have resulted in punts; the other two were pick-sixes. Iowa's defensive line has eight tackles for loss through three quarters.

With a pair of interception returns for touchdowns, the Iowa defense has dominated Kentucky and leads 21-0 at halftime of the Music City Bowl. In his first career start, Iowa safety Xavier Nwankpa returned an overthrow 52 yards for a touchdown.

Late in the second quarter, Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean returned a pass 14 yards for a score. Iowa’s first score came when tight end Sam LaPorta took a screen 27 yards to the Kentucky 15, then fellow tight end Luke Lachey hauled in a 15-yard touchdown on the next play. Iowa punter Tory Taylor has punts that have landed at the Kentucky 2, 7 and 7.

Iowa football has 7 passing TDs and 6 defensive TDs this season.

Hawkeyes lead Kentucky 21-0 and the defense has outscored the offense 14-7.
