Rueben Bain Jr. did his talking twice on Sunday night — first with a fourth-quarter interception and a hand in the game-sealing sack, then with a viral, not-safe-for-the-Irish message online that made it crystal clear how Miami’s star edge feels about Notre Dame. The junior finished with six tackles, 0.5 sacks and a tip-drill interception returned 12 yards in a performance that helped No. 10 Miami beat No. 6 Notre Dame 27–24. Bain also ended up earning ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week honors.
With Miami up 21–14 midway through the fourth, a screen ricocheted off multiple hands before Bain snatched it and rumbled to the Irish 33, setting up a field goal that stretched the lead to 24–14.
