US EditionNo. 10 Miami hoping for ‘maniacal’ setting when hosting No. 6 Notre Dame on Sunday night
The game renews a rivalry with playoff implications as Miami seeks redemption after last season's snub; Notre Dame starts untested quarterback CJ Carr, drawing national attention.
- On Sunday, Aug. 31, No. 10 Miami Hurricanes football team hosts No. 6 Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Fla., in a 7:30 p.m. ABC season opener with 42,000 season tickets sold.
- With playoff stakes high, the rivalry adds extra significance as Notre Dame Fighting Irish reached last season's CFP title game and Miami Hurricanes felt snubbed from the 12-team field in this 28th meeting.
- Notre Dame will start redshirt freshman C.J. Carr, who has never attempted a collegiate pass, while Miami counters with transfer quarterback Carson Beck and Notre Dame returns running back Jeremiyah Love, who rushed for 1,125 yards and 17 touchdowns last season.
- As a rare Sunday top-10 game, this sixth such matchup in 50 years could shape early College Football Playoff positioning, with BetMGM Sportsbook listing Notre Dame as a 2.5-point favorite and the over/under at 49.5 points.
- Miami's climate could influence player performance late in the week as forecasts call for heat climbing into the 80s with likely showers at Hard Rock Stadium, and Notre Dame is 0-6 in its last six games there despite winning a Jan. 9 CFP semifinal.
