Two teams whose seasons seem to be spinning out of control meet in South Bend on Saturday. The Miami Hurricanes visit the Golden Dome for the first time since 1990, yet the stature of this Notre Dame Miami football game has cooled. Below are seven numbers to think about for this game:
109
This number represents where Miami is situated among all 128 FBS teams when it comes to converting red zone opportunities.
