The Notre Dame Fighting Irish had a tough decision in the fourth quarter of their College Football Playoff semifinal against the Penn State Nittany Lions. Less than two minutes after Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard threw an interception, it appeared the Fighting Irish had gotten the ball back with an interception of their own, but the officials threw a flag and Penn State scored on the very next play.

PSU’s Drew Allar threw a deep ball into double coverage that was intercepted by Jack Kiser, but the officials decided to call pass interference on Adon Shuler, who did not turn to see his teammate catch the underthrown ball.

As Notre Dame fans threw beer bottles onto the field, coach Marcus Freeman could only point a finger at the officials and smile because the call robbed his team of a rally. It was a look that said: I’m not angry. I actually laugh.

The good news for Notre Dame is that they were able to tie the game on their very next possession. Depending on who wins the game, this could impact the way Freeman looks back on the pass interference call. He probably won’t smile if the Irish lose.
