The Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team will be heading to El Paso, Texas to take on the Oregon State Beavers in the Sun Bowl. This will be the first time since 1994 that Notre Dame has played in the Sun Bowl, and it will be the first time ever that they have faced Oregon State in a bowl game.
Notre Dame had a successful season, finishing with a 10-2 record and a spot in the College Football Playoff rankings. They were ranked as high as #4 in the nation at one point and were in contention for a spot in the playoff until the final week of the regular season.
Oregon State had a much different season, finishing with a 5-7 record and missing out on a bowl game. However, the Beavers were able to get an invitation to the Sun Bowl due to their strong academic performance.
This will be an interesting matchup between two teams with very different styles of play. Notre Dame is known for its strong defense and running game, while Oregon State is more of a passing team. The Fighting Irish will also have the advantage of playing in a familiar venue, as they have played in the Sun Bowl before.
The Sun Bowl will take place on December 31st at 2:00 pm ET. It will be televised nationally on CBS. This will be a great opportunity for both teams to end their season on a high note and make a statement heading into next year.
It should be an exciting game between two teams with contrasting styles of play. Notre Dame will look to use their strong defense and running game to control the game, while Oregon State will try to take advantage of their passing attack. It should be an interesting matchup and one that should not be missed.
