Penn State Notre Dame: Score, live updates for the College Football Playoff semifinals

The 91st Orange Bowl features two of the best defenses in the country, with each team ranking in the top five in points allowed per game. The Nittany Lions allow 15.8 points, while the Irish are two points ahead at 13.8. Penn State entered the playoffs as the No. 6 seed after losing its conference title game to Oregon, while Notre Dame is in the semifinals as the No. 7 seed and didn't get a chance at a first-round bye as independent program.

Both teams advanced to the semifinals, with Penn State defeating SMU 38-10 and Boise State 31-14. The Irish defeated Indiana in the first round 27-17 in a game that wasn't as close as the score indicated before controlling No. 2 Georgia 23-10 in the Sugar Bowl.

Both teams are powered offensively by their ground games, with each team averaging over 200 rushing yards per game. Penn State is led by the two-headed running back attack of Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton, who each rushed for more than 1,000 yards on the ground this season. Notre Dame's rushing attack is led by workhorse Jeremiyah Love at running back and dual-threat quarterback Riley Leonard, who is second on the team in rushing with over 750 yards.

There are two names to watch defensively for each team: Abdul Cater for PSU and Xavier Watts for Notre Dame. Carter, a likely first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft, is an explosive edge rusher for the Nittany Lions, tallying 11 sacks this season. He sat out in the first half with an apparent arm injury against Boise State. Penn State will certainly be hoping for his return next Thursday.

Watts is a two-time All-American safety for the Irish, leading his team with six interceptions and a forced fumble this year. He is a quarterback's worst nightmare in the secondary, and Notre Dame will rely on him again in the Orange Bowl.

Here's how the two teams matchup:

Penn State	Stands	Our Lady
13-2	File	13-1
33.7	Points per game	38.8
15.8	Points against	13.8
Drew Allar (3,192 yards, 24 TDs, 7 INT)	Leading passer	Riley Leonard (2,383 yards, 18 TDs, 6 INT)

Tyler Warren (1,158 yards, 8 TDs)	Leading receiver	Beaux Collins (458 yards, 3 TDs))
Jaylen Reed (92 tackles, 3 INT, 2.5 sacks)	Leading tackler	Jack Kisner (75 tackles, 2 sacks)
