2023 Sun Bowl: Oregon State-Notre Dame odds, how to watch
Notre Dame's second season under head coach Marcus Freeman was another success. The program continued its run of seven consecutive seasons with at least nine wins and a bowl game appearance, this time the Fighting Irish's second-ever Sun Bowl.
No. 16 Notre Dame (9-3) started the year off strong with four consecutive wins. That early success set the Irish up well ahead of a Week 5 matchup against No. 7 Ohio State. The Buckeyes got a go-ahead touchdown with one second left to win 17-14 and put a serious dent in Notre Dame's College Football Playoff chances. Another loss - this one a surprise defeat to No. 15 Louisville in Week 7 - all but ended their playoff hopes. Wins over USC, Pitt, Wake Forest, and Stanford ensured at least nine wins once again in 2023.
On the other side for the Sun Bowl, the No. 22 Oregon State Beavers were one of the surprises of the season in a competitive Pac-12. Oregon State rolled to a 6-1 record to start the season with a marquee win over then-No. 10-ranked Utah in Week 5.
The Beavers struggled over the second half of the regular season, going just 2-3 to close out the year. A close loss to eventual Pac-12 champion No. 2 Washington and rival No. 8 Oregon to finish the regular season put the Beavers fourth in the Pac-12.
This is just the third time these two storied programs will face each other. The Sun Bowl marks their third matchup and first since 2004.
