The Miami metropolitan area has been hosting the Orange Bowl event every year since 1935. The Notre Dame Fighting Irish won the latest championship, defeating the Penn State Nittany Lions 27–24. Notre Dame made a resolute comeback in the second half of the game after slacking in the first half. All three touchdowns for Penn State were scored by running back Nicholas Singleton. Both teams had an altogether different tempo in the second half when Mitch Jeter’s action-packed 41-yard field goal let Notre Dame proceed to the National Championship game. The thrilling finish to the edgy game was a well-deserved wait for the Notre Dame fans. Had you expected such a superb comeback from Mitch Jeter after being injured earlier on in the season?
