CNN —Wake up the echoes, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are once again going to play on college football’s biggest stage.
Notre Dame beat Penn State 27-24 in a classic College Football Playoff semifinal, a heavyweight slugfest that saw two teams match each other blow for punishing blow throughout four quarters of tough, Midwestern football.
The senior quarterback, who transferred from Duke so he could live his childhood dream of playing at Notre Dame, put Jeter in position.
After another dominant sequence from their defense, Penn State got the ball back deep in their own territory.
No such luck for the veteran quarterback – the pick gave Penn State the ball inside the Fighting Irish 40-yard line.
