Bowl season has come and gone and despite the Camping World Bowl not being the most exciting destination for Notre Dame fans, the Irish rolled Iowa State 33-9.
In that game Chase Claypool walked away with MVP honors after he pulled down seven receptions for 146 yards, one touchdown and another score that was ultimately overturned. However, Claypool’s ridiculous day didn’t earn him a spot on ESPN’s All Bowl Team for 2019.
Notre Dame’s sole-representitive on the team went to Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah.
Quite frankly, JOK was a freak on the field against Iowa State as he recorded nine tackles, had three sacks, four tackles for loss, a forced fumble, fumble recovery and an additional hurry on Iowa State Brock Purdy to boot.
Owusu-Koramoah’s day got Irish fans excited for a 2020 where the sky appears to be the limit and the Camping World Bowl highlighted just that.
If you’re upset about Claypool not being named to the team, it’s at least for good reason – receivers were downright nasty this bowl season. Tyler Johnson of Minnesota pulled down 204 yards and two scores against Auburn, Jerry Jeudy of Alabama also had 204 yards and a score in a win over Michigan and George Pickens of Georgia had 175 yards and a touchdown in their win over Baylor.
