The Ohio State Buckeyes took a 21–7 lead into halftime of the College Football Playoff national championship against Notre Dame. Then the Buckeyes came out and added another touchdown on their first drive of the second half.
Trailing by three touchdowns, Notre Dame really needed to get something going, but immediately faced fourth-and-2 from their own 33-yard line on their first drive of the half. As the Fighting Irish lined up to punt the ball was snapped to backup quarterback Steve Angeli who threw the ball Jordan Faison, who was unable to make the catch.
