CJ Carr has put together an incredible season as a first year starter. Despite the team’s 0-2 start, Carr’s talent is undeniable, as he aims to lead the Irish to ten straight wins.

Amid the topical debate, I recalled a similar situation in Notre Dame’s win over No. 1 Clemson. On a pivotal 3rd down in the 4th, it appeared Avery Davis had caught a go-ahead TD with control of the ball in bounds, but the ball got stripped away. Same thing, both incomplete.

Notre Dame outlasts No. 1 Miami in a thriller, securing a statement 31-24 victory over the nation's top-ranked team. theirishtribune.com/post/lef…

LEFT NO DOUBT! Notre Dame has toppled No. 1 Miami in an instant classic in South Bend. The Irish get their signature win on the biggest stage against the nation's best team.

Miami gets a hell of a break with a phantom check for a targeting penalty that didn't happen. I don't understand how this is allowed nor a ten second runoff of some kind as Miami will be allowed to set up their offense at their own pleasure.

The hole was there on the third down run but James couldn't get there quick enough. Notre Dame defense will have to do it one more time to stave off No. 1.

Nolan James Jr. MOVES THE CHAINS as the Irish will have the ball: 1st & 10 with 2:00 left, up by seven. One first down the the Irish seal this game away.

ACC Replay Review ... will they do it? At this point it's taking so long that it cannot be indisputable.

THAT'S AN INCOMPLETE PASS! Notre Dame defense finds a way and it's Luke Talich again!

Spencer Porath nowhere near the target on the long field goal attempt as the third down drop haunts the Irish. Notre Dame defense, the season is on your shoulders.

Barely any Jaden Greathouse in the second half as Mylan Graham has taken most of the snaps in the slot.

And Miami drives right back down the field and matches the Notre Dame touchdown drive. The Irish defense cannot operate if Sanders & Moore aren't on the field at the same time (not to mention B. Johnson, F. Brewu, D. Bowen, DJ McKinney & J. Onye). One-possession game.

Notre Dame defense just can't shed the injury bug. As in 2024, it has to be next man up and rise to the occasion.

Bravo, Mike Denbrock. Irish offense needed seven and the veteran OC put together a hell of a sequence. Notre Dame extends their lead back to two touchdowns.

Mike Denbrock DIALING IT UP on 4th down. What a play call.

A third quarter with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows comes to a close with the Irish holding onto a seven point lead. Irish fans, drop your thoughts below⬇️

Who else but walk-on Luke Talich? GAME-CHANGING interception from the kid from Cody, WY.

Pressure cooker drive here in South Bend. Can Notre Dame get a stop?

And its a ballgame. Miami cuts Notre Dame's three touchdown lead to seven in a matter of minutes. The loss of Leonard Moore is hurting the Notre Dame defense terribly.

This is the exact tilting point in the game where the Notre Dame crowd has to make a difference. All the momentum looking to go Miami's way and the Notre Dame defense needs to make a statement.

Notre Dame offense goes three and out and all the momentum swings into Miami's favor. Irish throw the ball three times and the Hurricanes forces the punt, a terrible one at that.
