10:20Lofton's apparent fourth-down end-zone catch goes to official review.
11:30The final play and the result.

Miami arrived in South Bend unbeaten and ranked first in the country. It left 31-24 losers. NBC Sports' highlights of the upset have drawn more than 900,000 views since yesterday, and they tell the whole game rather than just its disputed final minutes.

The first half belongs to CJ Carr. After an opening field goal, the Notre Dame quarterback finds Jordan Faison for a 27-yard touchdown, then hits Micah Gilbert from 18 yards before halftime. He finds Gilbert again early in the third quarter, and the Irish lead 24-3.

Then Darian Mensah, billed in the description as the Heisman frontrunner, goes to work. A 12-yard strike to tight end Elijah Lofton draws a "What a throw from Mensah" from the booth, and a touchdown to Cooper Barkate cuts the gap to a single score. Nolan James Jr. answers with a 1-yard run, and Mensah finds Barkate once more. The comeback reaches a fourth down in the end zone, where Lofton's apparent catch is reviewed and ruled incomplete. Notre Dame recovers a fumble on the final play.

The comment section moved far faster than this channel is used to: more than a thousand comments in under a day, against the couple a regular NBC Sports video usually collects on its first day. Many viewers want the defense to get more screen time, singling out Notre Dame's defensive line and Traore. Others debate the Lofton ruling, and a popular thread declares the No. 1 spot cursed this season.

For NBC Sports, the game was home turf in another sense too. The network is the national broadcast partner for every Notre Dame home game.

Playoff Intensity this game was. Notre Dame and Miami are both CFP National Championship contenders.

This game was nuts. Shoutout to Miami and Mensah for not giving up. Losing Toney was a huge blow but what an awesome game. The CFP is up for grabs in my opinion no clear winner and that’s so exciting.
