Notre Dame football vs. Oklahoma State Fiesta Bowl: 3 Irish players to watch

Notre Dame football vs. Oklahoma State Fiesta Bowl: 3 key Irish players

Isaiah Foskey, Defensive End

The key for the defense on Saturday against Oklahoma State will be making Spencer Sanders uncomfortable, something that Baylor was able to do in the Big 12 title game. The key player to accomplish this will be Isaiah Foskey, who has had a breakout season for the Irish and has a solid test ahead of him against this Cowboys offensive line.

Foskey stepped up with Ade Ogundeji and Daelin Hayes being drafted last April, and has not looked back, racking up ten sacks for over 115 sack yards, and also nearly 50 tackles. He has played his way into being a potential Day 2 NFL Draft pick this year, and the Irish need that kind of production out of him in this one.

4 things that should be on the Notre Dame football team’s Christmas List

The Notre Dame football team will take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Fiesta Bowl, but here, we look at what should be on their Christmas List.

The Irish have to be able to get after Sanders if they hope to stop this passing game, as we know what kind of offense this can be when he is cooking. Oklahoma State can beat you in many ways on offense, but as we saw in the Big 12 title game if Sanders is struggling, the offense is going to follow.
