Absolutely! Mitch Jeter's goal will be one for the highlight reels for sure! It was a "kick" to remember, and it couldn't have come at a better time for the Fighting Irish. 

And you're totally right—credit goes to the Fighting Irish defense as well! They really turned up the heat in the second half, making key stops and creating those crucial turnovers that can shift momentum in a game. It’s like they were playing chess while the offense played checkers, setting everything up perfectly for scoring opportunities.

Great defensive plays can be the unsung heroes of any game. A solid defense is crucial for any team wanting to make a deep run, especially in high-stakes games like the Orange Bowl. What do you think the keys will be for Notre Dame as they head into the National Championship game?
