No. 9 Notre Dame escapes Florida State despite McKenzie Milton’s inspiring heroics

The only thing more symbolic of the best of college football than an entire stadium doing an impossibly annoying chant is the true and utter chaos of overtime. The only thing more symbolic of the comedy of college football than a kicker missing a key field goal is his own head coach making a questionable decision that takes a made field goal off the scoreboard.

Florida State pushed No. 9 Notre Dame to overtime Sunday night, despite being down 18 points in the fourth quarter, spurring repeated renditions of the Chop, but then the Seminoles fell short 41-38 after head coach Mike Norvell erased a made field goal with a timeout.
