Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday, Aug. 31 at Hard Rock Stadium, matching No. 6 Notre Dame against No. 10 Miami in Week 1.
  • The meeting revives the once-era-defining "Catholics vs. Convicts" rivalry that peaked in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
  • Notre Dame leans on an elite offensive line and feature back Jeremiyah Love, with a camp quarterback battle between C.J. Carr and Kenny Minchey still unresolved.
  • Miami turns to experienced quarterback Carson Beck and roster speed, with Mario Cristobal calling for a "maniacal" home crowd that former Irish QB Ian Book has described as one of the loudest.
  • The result could shape early playoff narratives, and it comes at a venue where Notre Dame has not won since 1977 with six straight losses in Miami.
