Notre Dame dominated Indiana on Friday night, beating the Hoosiers 27-17 as the final score appeared much closer than the 27-3 favor the Irish had with just five minutes to play.

The win was Notre Dame's biggest in the postseason in at least 31 years, when it beat Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl and had a chance at being crowned national champions.

It sends this Notre Dame team to the Sugar Bowl where it will meet powerhouse Georgia in the late evening of New Year's Day.
