Notre Dame football: Most painful losses in recent memory

It’s not that each loss occurred but instead, how. The end result for all: pain.

If you’ve been a fan of Notre Dame football for the last couple of decades then heartbreak is something you’re used to.

Since winning their last national championship in 1988 there have been some extreme highs but none included hoisting the championship trophy at season’s end (although some could have).

There have been some heartbreaking losses since then. Some have costs chances at national championships, some have simply just ended in anguish and pain.

Which was the worst though?

After losing to Ohio State in truly incredible fashion we thought we’d take a look at some of the candidates and let you decide which one stings the worst.

2023 ACC Tournament: Georgia Tech comes back to beat Florida State

Quite the comeback to start things off at the 2023 ACC Tournament…

Everything seemed to be going right for Florida State in Tuesday’s ACC Tournament opener.  The Seminoles jumped out to a 29-18 lead over Georgia Tech and held a 10-point halftime advantage.  A pair of rolled ankles did no favors the rest of the way for Florida State, however.

Baba Miller and Matthew Cleveland both suffered those ankle injuries.  Those played a factor as the Yellow Jackets slowly closed the gap before finally tying things up at 53, but a pair of Seminoles field goals put them back in front 57-53 with just 2:30 to play.

Florida State went the final 2:30 without making a field goal and Javon Franklin’s free throw with 0.2 seconds remaining capped the comeback for Georgia Tech.

Miles Kelly paced the Yellow Jackets with 21 points while both Cameron Corhen and Dorian Green, Jr. each scored 12 for Florida State.

Georgia Tech now moves on to take on fifth-seeded Pitt in the second round on Wednesday while Florida State finishes the year just 9-23.  Their 23 losses are the most ever in a single season by the Seminoles.
