• QB Will Rogers was benched in Week 14 in favor of youngster Demond Williams, who will start in this game.

Sun Bowl betting

Last year, Notre Dame rolled a shorthanded Oregon State after the majority of its coaching staff and roster left. No reasonable spread was enough for this one, as the Irish dominated, 40-8. They nearly covered the 41.5-point spread themselves, with 48 combined points being enough to clear.

The year prior, Pitt pulled off a stunning upset of UCLA in the Sun Bowl. The Panthers were without much of their roster, ultimately winning the game in thrilling fashion late, 37-35. Pitt (+9) covered the spread and Over 54.5 cleared handily.

Notre Dame's dominance ended a two-year run of underdogs winning outright. Before then, favorites and underdogs alternated covers every year dating back to 2013 while the total is split 5-5 in that same stretch. Pac-12 reps have won seven of the last 11 outings and were favored in every one of those instances. Outright upsets like Pitt's in 2022 and CMU's in 2021 are rare; the prior outright upset came in 2012 where Georgia Tech beat USC.
