CJ Carr Impresses in First Career Start as Notre Dame QB in Loss

- The game revived a rivalry dormant since 2017, with Notre Dame favored by 3 points amid historic context where Miami has won every home matchup since the late 1970s.
- Miami debuted quarterback Carson Beck, a Georgia transfer, leading an offense facing Notre Dame's elite defense anchored by 40 sacks and allowing 169.4 passing yards last season.
- The SportsLine model forecasts that Notre Dame will succeed against the spread in 70% of its simulated scenarios and estimates the total score will exceed 51.5 points in 68% of those simulations, while expert Bruce Marshall holds a 56-34-3 record against the spread in his recent 93 college football picks.
- This top-10 matchup suggested a tightly contested game where the defensive trench battle could decide the outcome, reflecting both programs' national championship aspirations for the 2025 season.
