The Miami Hurricanes opened their 2025 season with a big 27-24 win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The Hurricanes were slight underdogs going into the contest at home against an opponent they have a lot of history with.
Season openers have so many variables that it’s hard to predict who will win some of these games. Admittedly, I was surprised Miami won the game, but I think it was more about Notre Dame’s lack of offense than how good Miami was. It was a fairly even context on paper, but Notre Dame had two turnovers and still only lost by a field goal with just over a minute remaining in the game.
