Carter Davis drilled a 47-yard field goal with 1:04 remaining to give the Miami Hurricanes a 27-24 victory over Notre Dame. CJ Carr brought the visitors back from a 21-7 third quarter deficit to tie the game at 24 before the Canes won it. Miami’s dominance of the line of scrimmage, however, ultimately spelled the difference in this contest. The Canes played smart, error free football and executed winning drives at the end of each half. Notre Dame committed two turnovers and had multiple breakdowns on both sides of the ball.
Poor line play was the most obvious Irish weakness in this season opener.
