After a discouraging loss to Stanford and an extra week of rest, I was fairly confident that Notre Dame was both hungry enough and well rested enough to secure the win against Miami. It may not have been as convincing as we all would have liked, but a win is a win, and we’ll take it. How did the Notre Dame defense perform in last Saturday’s match-up against the Miami Hurricanes? Lets have a look!
The Notre Dame defense allowed the Miami offense 20 first downs; 3 rushing, 15 passing and two penalties. Miami was allowed to gain 306 yards of total offense; 288 yards of net passing and 18 yards of net rushing.
