The Notre Dame vs. Oregon State football game on October 8, 2022, will undoubtedly be remembered as a historic clash between two powerhouse teams. The final score of 8-40 in favor of Oregon State left fans stunned and experts analyzing the game from every angle.
From the start, it was clear that Oregon State came prepared to dominate. Their offense displayed exceptional coordination and precision, while their defense proved impenetrable for Notre Dame's struggling offense. The Beavers' quarterback showcased remarkable accuracy, throwing for multiple touchdowns and leading his team to victory.
The Fighting Irish dominated every aspect of the game. Their offensive line created impenetrable walls, allowing their running backs to gain significant yardage with ease. Meanwhile, their defense exhibited an ironclad resolve, thwarting every attempt made by Oregon State to score.
Ben Gulbranson never really finding a rhythm and the ground game suffering. A fake punt in the first half that was clearly borne out of a lack of offensive progress was, in some respects, a death knell for the Beavers. The game only got worse from there.
For Notre Dame and Freeman, it was clearly a statement game of sorts. Notre Dame never took its foot off the gas, and was going for it on fourth-and-goal up double digits in the second half. It was Notre Dame's biggest bowl margin of victory in program history, no small feat when talking about the Golden Domers.
Jordan Faison was the game's MVP with five catches for 115 yards and a touchdown, after shaking open seemingly all game. Of Angeli's performance he said upon accepting the trophy: "We saw it coming."
Angeli made his first career start for the Fighting Irish on Friday because starter Sam Hartman opted to sit out of the bowl game to turn his attention to the upcoming NFL Draft. It's become commonplace for potential NFL Draft picks to sit out of non-playoff bowl games.
Angeli went 15 for 19 for 232 yards and three touchdowns as Notre Dame beat Oregon State, 40-8.
