They are reviewing it to see if it's a catch, but either way it's ND ball with the PI call

They ruled it was intercepted, but ND still gets a 1st and gains 15 off the PI

Refs also missed a cheap shot by DE Brian Burns on Wimbush

Throws the bubble to Boykin gets them to the 6. Good mix of tempo right now for ND

FSU will go for it. They throw the screen and Murray is tackled behind the line, but he stretches out for the first.

Next play they call targeting on Elliott vs the slant. I don't think it was, but who knows with how they call these things

Being reviewed right now. The WR looked like he ducked his head down into Elliott.

They reviewed it and ruled it was not targeting. Phew

Hitch to Terry complete gets it to 3 and short and FSU converts

Not a great kick that bounces backwards. FSU ball at their 21

Gilman on the blitz stuffs Patrick on 2nd down for a TFL

3 and 4
