Notre Dame fell to Ohio State in the national championship on Monday night. Here are the highlights from the Fighting Irish's loss:

Notre Dame capped off the season with a 14-2 record. They entered the national title game on a 13-game win streak, with wins over Indiana, Georgia, and Penn State in the College Football Playoff. Following a historic year for the Fighting Irish, Freeman was announced as the Bear Bryant Coach of the Year.

Then, for the biggest play of the game, Notre Dame decided to leave Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith on an island. It was third and 12 and the Fighting Irish would get the ball back with a stop with a chance to tie the game. Smith completely burned his defender and he was wide open for a huge gain, and he iced the game.
