Notre Dame hits the road for the first time in a month to face the undefeated Miami Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium in a game that will solidify the college football playoff position of the winner and deal a crushing blow to the hopes of the loser. The third ranked Fighting Irish are coming off their worst defensive performance of the season, while the seventh ranked Canes played their best overall game in beating Virginia Tech. A sellout crowd will be on hand for the 8:00 PM EST kickoff while ABC provides national television coverage.
Miami is riding the nation’s longest winning streak at 13 games, which dates back to the 30-27 loss last year in South Bend.
