No. 6 Notre Dame and No. 10 Miami are facing off the first time since 2017 in a Sunday evening spotlight game that will shape the narratives surrounding two national brands with College Football Playoff aspirations. The Fighting Irish will be seeking their first road victory over the Hurricanes since 1977.
Miami has won six straight home games in the series, but it enters as an underdog against a Notre Dame team coming off an appearance in the CFP National Championship. With both teams breaking in new quarterbacks and defensive coordinators, the showdown features plenty of uncertainty.
After getting left on the doorstep of the CFP last season, the Hurricanes are looking for a Year 4 breakthrough under coach Mario Cristobal with the help of Georgia transfer Carson Beck at quarterback. He’ll have big shoes to fill as he replaces No. 1 overall draft pick Cam Ward.
Notre Dame should again be anchored by an elite defense and premier running game, as backs Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price return. But the Fighting Irish will need redshirt freshman CJ Carr to be poised and ready to go as he makes his first career start on the road in a high-stakes situation.
All the ingredients for a blockbuster Week 1 showdown are there as the old “Catholics vs. Convicts” rivalry gets new life in what will be just the fifth meeting between the teams since 1990.
