Overview
In a dramatic Orange Bowl semifinal, Notre Dame defeated Penn State 27-24, overcoming a 10-0 deficit with quarterback Riley Leonard leading the comeback. After a concussion scare, Leonard returned to spearhead the Irish’s resurgence, highlighted by Christian Gray's key interception setting up Mitch Jeter’s game-winning field goal. The victory propels Notre Dame to the national championship game against the winner of the Texas-Ohio State match, marking their first title shot since 2012 and their first championship since 1988.
