Notre Dame vs. Miami: The Rematch We’ve Been Waiting For | THE ECHOES

Notre Dame football beat Navy 35-13 to set up the biggest game of the season. Mike Golic Jr. and Jessica Smetana break down the win and preview Notre Dame vs Miami Hurricanes football. The Irish survived a sluggish first half against Navy with questionable plays and new injury concerns. Now all eyes turn to Miami. How can Notre Dame contain Heisman contenders Malachi Toney and Darian Mensah? Can the Irish limit Toney with changing coverages and extra help? Will the Notre Dame defense hold up against Miami's physical offensive line with depth tested by injuries? On offense, the keys for C.J. Carr and the Irish: stay committed to the run, get the ball out quickly, make Miami tackle in space, and give Carr chances to make plays downfield. Jess explains why she's still skeptical of Chris Ash's defense, while Mike shares his keys to a Notre Dame win in this college football showdown. Plus, Notre Dame basketball swept Villanova in Rome — both the men and women opened their seasons with wins in the Eternal City.
