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

Following a phenomenal year for Notre Dame, albeit a national title loss, a few players announced their decisions to transfer. On Monday, wide receiver Deion Colzie made his official decision, transferring to Miami (Ohio) after four years at Notre Dame, per Pete Nakos .

Smith completely burned his defender and he was wide open for a huge gain, and he iced the game.
