Notre Dame got off to a terrible start against Miami, but despite the many mistakes, the Irish strong-armed the Redhawks for a 28-3 win at home.
The first quarter saw the Irish offense look completely inept with Riley Leonard at quarterback. But it wasn’t just the Irish quarterback, as the offensive line failed to provide much room for the running backs and the pass rush was confusing them on passing downs. You can even throw in bad play calls and a Jordan Faison fumble to the mix as they went into the second quarter tied at 0.
