PennLive’s Johnny McGonigal and Bob Flounders take a deep dive into the most anticipated game of Penn State’s season to date. It’s PSU and Notre Dame going at it in the Orange Bowl on Thursday night. The winner moves on to the championship game.

There are only three games left in the college football season. That sucks. There's no way around it. If there's a silver lining to that depressing fact, it's that they're College Football Playoff games.

The Orange Bowl features college football two powerhouses. Both teams love to play power football and have two of the better defenses in the country. They also love to run the football, so this game will be decided in the trenches.
