How Notre Dame Football’s 2022 Opponents Fared in Week 12 of the CFB Season

Here are how each of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish’s opponents fared in week twelve of the 2022 college football season:

OHIO STATE BUCKEYES (11-0) #2

MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD (7-4)

Marshall ripped off its third win in a row with a 23-10 win over Georgia Southern.

CALIFORNIA GOLDEN BEARS (4-7)

Cal had no business beating Stanford and was down to the Cardinal 17-6 when they entered the fourth quarter. A couple of turnovers later, Cal put up 21 unanswered points — unless you count the last second field goal by Stanford when they were down 10 points.

NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS (9-2) #18

The shine finally came off of the Heels as they get stung by the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 21-17.

BYU COUGARS (6-5)

BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES (3-8)

Boston College got bludgeoned by the Irish in the snow, 44-0.

USC TROJANS (10-1) #5
