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.

With under 20 seconds remaining, Fighting Irish kicker Mitch Jeter nailed a 41-yard high-flying attempt to secure the win.

For the first time since 2012, Notre Dame will play for a national title. The Fighting Irish advanced to the College Football Playoff National Championship with a 27-24 win against Penn State in Thursday evening's Orange Bowl.
