Notre Dame and Penn State clash in the first of two College Football Playoff semifinals this year at the Orange Bowl on Thursday evening.
Penn State (13-2) took care of No. 11 SMU and No. 3 Boise State in the first two rounds, overwhelming the opposition with a suffocating defense. The sixth-seeded Nittany Lions have forced seven turnovers — keyed by six interceptions — through two games.
Similarly, the seventh-seeded Fighting Irish (13-1) breezed through their first two CFP matchups, notching victories over No. 10 Indiana and No. 2 Georgia. Notre Dame’s defense is particularly stout against the run, allowing an average of 64.5 rushing yards in the playoff.

Thursday’s game will thus pit strength against strength, as Penn State’s offense relies heavily on its dynamic running backs, Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton. The duo decimated Boise State to the tune of 221 rushing yards in the quarterfinals.
While the two teams once played each other annually, they have not squared off since 2007.
