I was raised to hate Notre Dame like my father and his father before him, but I will say it’s refreshing to see a team take pride in itself and make a deliberate decision not to be humiliated by a middling PAC-12 team. What a way to build momentum for offseason workouts and recruiting.
With the win, Notre Dame goes to 21-21 in bowl games. With the loss, Oregon State goes to 10-8 in bowl games.
Reminds me of a shirt back in the 80's at a small store in the Oaks Mall (think it was named the Emporium?) that said "UF naked coed wrestling; the winner doesn't always end up on top"
