This game might have the most total talent of any bowl game this year.
The Fiesta Bowl is finally here. Notre Dame is about as good an opponent as the Buckeyes could have hoped for outside of a playoff opponent, and that's evident in the S&P+ rankings, where the Irish are eighth.
They have fought off injuries on both sides of the ball, including on the defensive line, at corner, at quarterback, and at running back, but they've still played at an elite level this season. The Irish' strengths are evident: Will Fuller is one of the most explosive receivers in the country, the run game is incredibly efficient, and the defense is fairly efficient and plays great field position.
