Jonathan Doerer drilled a 41-yard field goal in overtime to lift the visiting Fighting Irish to a 41-38 roller coaster victory over a feisty Florida State squad. Notre Dame scored three touchdowns in the third quarter to take a 38-20 lead, but a furious rally by the hosts resulted in a tie score with 40 seconds remaining in regulation. In overtime, Ryan Fitzpatrick pulled a 37-yard attempt for FSU before Doerer drove a dagger through the hearts of the underdogs.
Both Seminole quarterbacks played superbly during the final period, with McKenzie Milton completing the comeback heroics started by Jordan Travis.
