As a youngster, Danny Etling watched Notre Dame play football in South Bend, Indiana.

Now, Etling’s final game as LSU starting quarterback is against the Irish January 1st in the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. Etling, a Purdue transfer, who played his high school football in Terre Haute, said the irony of the game and the opponent isn’t lost on him.

Etling said his mother is a graduate of St Mary’s College, the all girls school that sits adjacent to the Notre Dame campus.

Etling has thrown 14 touchdown passes, and only 2 interceptions in 2017.
