Miami opens its season with a national-stage stress test on a Sunday night visit from No. 6 Notre Dame and newly named starting quarterback CJ Carr, who’ll be making his first collegiate start at Hard Rock Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on Aug. 31.
Carr, a redshirt freshman and the grandson of former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr, won a months-long competition over Kenny Minchey this week. Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman pointed to Carr’s decision-making and leadership despite his limited resume (he appeared in one game last season and didn’t attempt a pass).
