Penn State had chances to change narratives that have haunted the program. But a doomed final drive led to a 27-24 loss to Notre Dame.

“It was a huge mistake by Drew Allar,” commentator Greg McElroy said. “Works all the way back and you can never throw a line over the middle, it doesn’t matter what the circumstances are. You want to make a play for your team, but you cannot throw it blind from that far away.’

Drew Allar's critical interception sealed Penn State's loss to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinals at the Orange Bowl.
