Penn State quarterback Drew Allar made a costly mistake late in the Nittany Lions' loss to Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl on Thursday.

With just over 30 seconds to play, Allar threw an interception in Penn State territory, setting up a game-winning field goal for the Fighting Irish a few plays later.

After the game, Allar explained the play, telling reporters his first two reads were covered and he "should have just thrown it away." Allar also said he tried to throw that ball at Omari Evans' feet, but it instead ended up in the hands of Notre Dame's Christian Gray.
