CFP Semifinal Reaction: Ohio State & Notre Dame advance to the Title Game

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to Ohio State and Notre Dame booking their tickets to the National Championship Game following two thrilling Semifinal games. He begins by breaking down the Buckeyes’ win over Texas and examines how Ohio State was able to come up with the key plays to win the game – and why the Longhorns will regret a few decisions all offseason. He also breaks down the reasons why Notre Dame was able to beat Penn State and what has made the Irish so difficult to beat in the Playoff. He discusses Drew Allar’s late interception and why he should not be shouldering all of the blame for the loss. Klatt also evaluates Penn State’s 2024 season and explains why it’s important to make a distinction when thinking about this loss one game away from the Title game. 0:00-2:45 Intro 2:46-21:57 Ohio State beat Texas & advances to national championship 21:58-39:08 Notre Dame wins with a game-winning field goal 39:09-39:39 National championship is set 39:40-41:56 Rest in peace, Coach Mac 41:57-43:34 Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
