Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes are slight underdogs at home in Sunday's top-10 clash vs. Notre Dame.

Overview

  • Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. ET at a sold-out Hard Rock Stadium on ABC, with live streams available on Fubo and Sling.
  • Notre Dame enters off a CFP title-game run and is expected to lean on its defense and feature back Jeremiyah Love, who posted 1,125 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns last season.
  • Redshirt freshman C.J. Carr makes his first college start for the Irish after zero career pass attempts, while Beck replaces No. 1 NFL draft pick Cam Ward for Miami.
  • Oddsmakers list Notre Dame around -2.5 (moneyline about -142, Miami +120) with a total near 50.5, and predictive models and media picks are split between the Irish and the home underdog.
  • Miami is calling for a “maniacal” crowd, the series last met in 2017 with a 41–8 Hurricanes win, and this rare Sunday top-10 opener could hinge on trench play, noise and wet conditions.
