Drew Allar's critical interception sealed Penn State's loss to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff semifinals at the Orange Bowl.

Notre Dame fans expressed their anger at a defensive pass interference call during Thursday night’s Orange Bowl by throwing beers onto the field at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.

Drew Allar entered the Penn State campus with significance. He was a five-star recruit and the No. 1 quarterback in the high-school class of 2022 per 247 Sports, making him the most sought-after quarterback recruit to play for the Nittany Lions in a very long time.

That throw further emphasized how tough of a game Allar had, finishing with just 11 completions on 21 attempts for 139 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. It was the running game that was working the best for Penn State, with both Kaytron Allen and Nicolas Singleton combining for 166 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Per US Magazine, Allar has been dating his girlfriend Emma Bush way back in 2019 when they were in high school together back in Ohio. But Bush went to Ohio State while he was a Nittany Lion, but they’re still together despite the distance.
