Notre Dame football finds itself in an early deficit in the first half of the College Football Playoff Orange Bowl semifinal against No. 6 Penn State.

The Irish also had to do without their starting quarterback for a short time. Quarterback Riley Leonard left the game in the final minutes of the first half after the quarterback rush by Penn State defensive players Dvon J-Thomas and Zane Durant sent him to the ground. He then returned at the start of the second half after being declared “asymptomatic”.
