Although Notre Dame football fell a bit short of its main goal of making the College Football Playoff, the foundation for future success was made.
The Irish ended their 2023 season on an extremely high note, blowing out Oregon State in the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl 40-8. Head coach Marcus Freeman has the program heading in the right direction, as the transfer portal additions along with the recruiting success will help fuel Notre Dame for the years to come.
The bowl victory will springboard the Irish into the 2024 season, and I have plenty of thoughts on the Sun Bowl victory along with the future of the Notre Dame program.
