Penn State did not lose 27-24 to Notre Dame in a College Football Playoff semifinal at the Orange Bowl solely because of Drew Allar’s fourth quarter interception that set up Fighting Irish kicker Mitch Jeter’s 41-yard game-winning field goal.

“It was a huge mistake by Drew Allar,” commentator Greg McElroy said. “Works all the way back and you can never throw a line over the middle, it doesn’t matter what the circumstances are. You want to make a play for your team, but you cannot throw it blind from that far away.’

All the hype surrounding Penn State quarterback Drew Allar came crashing down during the Orange Bowl on Thursday night. He had just 135 passing yards and a costly interception in the team's heartbreaking loss to Notre Dame.

Penn State Nittany Lions quarterback Drew Allar completed just 12 passes, none to a wide receiver, and threw a critical late interception against Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl.
