Notre Dame vs Oklahoma State: PlayStation Fiesta Bowl, What’s Going To Happen
Don’t get too caught up in the Marcus Freemania.
He’s going to need a little time to tweak up the program a little bit, and Mike Gundy and this Oklahoma State team is good enough to put a damper on the festivities.
However, the Irish lines will hold up just fine, there will be a few funky wrinkles thrown into the offensive equation around QB Jack Coan, and yeah, go ahead and assume the excitement factor will be a thing.
Normally, a team like Notre Dame would be down after just missing out on the College Football Playoff, but that’s not the case.
This is going to be a tough, sharp team that will be able to hang defensive punch for defensive punch. It’s also going to need takeaways to win this.
Oklahoma State turned it over seven times in the two games against Baylor, twice against Oklahoma, four times against everyone else.
Don’t expect a slew of giveaways, and don’t expect a letdown problem, either – to the opposite, the team seems ready to try making amends for the Baylor loss.
Getting RB Jaylen Warren back matters. He’ll be the steadying factor for the attack.
The Irish will come out strong – and not just for Freeman – but Mike Gundy and Oklahoma State are too good in bowl games. Gundy has won four of his last five and is 11-5 since 2005.
