No. 10 Miami digs in late, tops No. 6 Notre Dame 27-24 in a thriller

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- , Miami hadn't beaten a top-10 team in nearly eight years. The opponent that night was Notre Dame. It happened again Sunday night , and once again, at Notre Dame's expense. Carter Davis made a 47-yard field goal with 1:04 left for the go-ahead score, Carson Beck threw for 205 yards and two touchdowns in his Miami debut, and the 10th-ranked Hurricanes beat the sixth-ranked Fighting Irish 27-24 in the opener for both teams. “It’s just an unbelievable night," Miami coach Mario Cristobal said after the Hurricanes snapped an eight-game slide against top-10 opponents. “Unbelievable night for so many people that poured so much into this.” CJ Daniels made a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab and Rueben Bain had an interception on a thrice-deflected pass in the fourth quarter for the Hurricanes, who outgained Notre Dame 324 yards to 314.
