Notre Dame vs. Penn State Orange Bowl Results According to College Football 25
According to College Football 25, Penn State will defeat Notre Dame 21-20 and advance to the College Football Playoff National Championship.
| TEAM | 1st Quarter | 2nd Quarter | 3rd Quarter | 4th Quarter | FINAL |
| #7 ND | 10 | 7 | 0 | 3 | 20 |
| #6 PSU | 0 | 3 | 9 | 9 | 21 |
Notre Dame got off to a hot start, taking a 17-0 lead before Penn State squeezed in a field goal before the half. Notre Dame's defense performed well throughout the whole game. Their offense, however, couldn't put the game away after the first 30 minutes.
The Nittany Lions' first touchdown came on a 1 Yd TD run from Khalil Dinkins. Six minutes later, the defense made a play, forcing a safety. Overall, Penn State was now only down five points at the end of the third.
The Nittany Lions and Fighting Irish traded field goals, with the Fighting Irish still on top (20-15). However, Penn State finally took their first lead of the day with less than a minute remaining. HB Nicholas Singleton caught a TD pass from Drew Allar to put PSU on top. However, they missed the two-point conversion. Fortunately for them, the defense made a stop, and Penn State came out on top.
PSU's Abdul Carter definitely deserves the game ball after a 4-sack, 12 tackle performance. Carter earned seven tackles for a loss as they kept Notre Dame's offense in check during the second half. The Nittany Lions will continue to rely on him as they enter the biggest stage.
With the win, the Nittany Lions advance to the College Football Playoff National Championship. They'll face either the Ohio State Buckeyes or Texas Longhorns. Penn State already lost to the Buckeyes earlier this year, but could a rematch end differently? We wonder.
