Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, with national coverage on ABC.
  • Notre Dame names redshirt freshman C.J. Carr its Week 1 starter, and he enters without a collegiate pass attempt.
  • Miami turns to Georgia transfer Carson Beck, who is set for his Hurricanes debut after UCL surgery and a full fall camp.
  • BetMGM lists Notre Dame by 2.5 points, though some projections such as Dimers’ simulations slightly favor Miami in a tight game.
  • Previews highlight run game and defense as swing factors, with All-America back Jeremiyah Love key for the Irish and new coordinator Corey Hetherman debuting for Miami’s defense; a raucous home environment is anticipated, with some outlets reporting a sellout as secondary markets still show seats.
