Rivalry Renewed? Canes and Irish Looking for Answers

For the first time since 1990 the Miami Hurricanes make a trip to South Bend to take on the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Unlike that meeting when both teams were ranked in the top-10 and in the national title hunt, this game will feature two teams that are trying to turn their seasons around. Led by Mark Richt in his inaugural season as head coach, Miami was ranked as high as #10 back on October 8th but a three game slide (including a blowout loss 37-16 last week at Virginia Tech) has put their record at 4-3 and all but taken them out of contention in the ACC Coastal.
