Notre Dame returns home after a successful two week road trip and will battle Miami of Ohio on Saturday evening. The Redhawks last visited South Bend in 1909, when the Fighting Irish won by 46-0 (and tickets were a lot cheaper). This week’s game is only the second meeting between these schools. Former Notre Dame assistant (2010-11) and offensive coordinator (2012-2013) Chuck Martin leads the Redhawks, who are 2-2 on the season. The game will be televised on the NBC Sports Network (NBCSN, DirecTV channel 220) beginning at 5:00 PM Eastern time.
Martin took over Miami’s proud program in December 2013 with a mandate to rebuild after the team had just endured an 0-12 season.
