The 9-3 and #15 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish are in El Paso, Texas, to take on the 8-4 and #21 ranked Oregon State Beavers in one of the oldest bowl games in existence — the Sun Bowl.
The Irish are trying to finish the season strong and with that 10th win under their belt. While the offense had a large number of transfers and opt-outs for this game, the defensive side of the ball only saw a few and should carry the game against an Oregon State team that is decimated top to bottom — including its coaching staff.
