ORANGE BOWL RECAP: Notre Dame fights for a 27-24 win over Penn state

If you were one of the many that thought the Orange Bowl between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Penn State Nittany Lions was going to be a low scoring rock fight... you were right — until it got to the 4th quarter.

The Irish and Nittany Lions had a moment here and there in their first few drives, but the defenses for both teams did a great job of clamping down and shutting down the drives. Notre Dame was driving a bit, but an overthrown Riley Leonard pass deep down the middle of the field was intercepted by Zakee Wheatley.
