Jameis Winston and the Florida State Seminoles prevailed in a thrilling top five match up with Notre Dame in which the game came down to the final offensive play for the Irish.
The game was all about one team answering another as neither team was able to score more than seven unanswered points against the other.
Notre Dame is the last ranked team scheduled on Florida State’s schedule, so the win could possibly be the Seminoles last chance to impress the College Football playoff selection committee.
Notre Dame was able to drive all the way down to the 2-yard line, a drive which included a 4th and 18 conversion. Notre Dame was able to reach the end zone on 4th down from the 2-yard line but offensive pass interference negated the play and set up a 4th and goal from the 18. The game finally ended on a Golson desperation pass to the end zone which was picked off by Pugh.
