Five keys for a Notre Dame victory over Oregon State in the Sun Bowl

What are your keys for the Irish?

Notre Dame football’s season is coming to an end, as they face Oregon State on Friday afternoon in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl.

This team will look drastically different from what we saw during the regular season. Quarterback Sam Hartman along with both starting offensive tackles opted out, while defensively linebacker Marist Liufau elected to skip the game.

That’s not even considering the losses via the transfer portal, where the biggest losses were in the wide receiver room. Regardless of the multiple players leaving, the Irish still have a job to do. Beat the Beavers.

Here are five keys to doing so, in what we hope is head coach Marcus Freeman’s first 10 win season in South Bend.
