Jack Coan, No. 9 Notre Dame Stave Off McKenzie Milton, FSU's Upset Bid in OT

No. 9 Notre Dame held off a furious fourth-quarter rally from host Florida State to beat the Seminoles 41-38 in overtime on Sunday evening from Doak S. Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee.

Notre Dame scored 21 straight third-quarter points to take a 38-20 lead, but FSU responded with 18 points, capped by a 43-yard field goal from Ryan Fitzgerald.

During that span, FSU quarterback Jordan Travis left the field after his helmet came off, and McKenzie Milton came into the game. Milton, the former UCF star, suffered significant leg injuries in Nov. 2018. He completed 5-of-7 passes for 48 yards.
