Good morning, everyone! We are just 98 days away from Miami's season opener against Notre Dame. Last week, FanDuel released the odds for some Week 1 games, and, as you might expect, the Canes are entering their home opener as underdogs. Who doesn't love a good underdog story, right?
The Fighting Irish are entering the game as the early favorites, even though their quarterback, CJ Carr, will be making his first collegiate start. The Irish are slight favorites, with a spread of 1.5 points over the Hurricanes. The total for the game is set at 53.5 points.
Last year, Notre Dame reached the national championship game against the national champions, Ohio State. The Irish finished the season with a record of 14-2. During the playoffs, Notre Dame faced tough competition, defeating Indiana, Penn State, and Georgia, with the win over Penn State taking place at Hard Rock Stadium. However, the Irish have yet to win against Miami at Hard Rock Stadium. Since the stadium opened in 1987, Notre Dame's record against the Hurricanes there is 0-2.
The last time the Fighting Irish faced the Hurricanes at Hard Rock Stadium was in 2017. During that game, Kirk Herbstreit remarked on national television, "I don't know if I've heard anything louder than this" about the stadium atmosphere. The Hurricanes delivered a dominating performance from start to finish, defeating the Irish 41-8 in the top-10 matchup.
