WATCH: Notre Dame knocks off LSU in Citrus Bowl with insane game-winning touchdown catch

This was an unbelievable play in the Citrus Bowl, but the LSU Tigers wound up on the wrong side of the highlight.
The Tigers were up 17-14 over Notre Dame with under two minutes to play when the Fighting Irish were driving with the ball. LSU needed one more big-time defensive stand to reach 10 wins this season, but the Tigers would come up just short.
Notre Dame QB Ian Book dropped back and let loose on a throw down the right sideline. It looked like the throw was high and off target, but WR Miles Boykin provided an insane highlight.
Boykin reached out and snagged a one-handed catch of the pass. The catch alone was impressive, but he broke multiple tackles before racing down the sideline for the game-winning touchdown.

LSU did have a solid season and finishes at 9-4, but losing to the Irish on such a crazy play will leave a sour taste for most Tigers fans.
