Notre Dame Stuns Top‑Ranked Miami in Thriller
The 31‑24 victory, a 21‑point lead and a late disputed call, underscores that the underdog can defy expectations.
Notre Dame, ranked No. 4, upset No. 1 Miami 31‑24 on Saturday night, taking a 21‑point lead before holding on for the win, a thriller that Fox News says silenced doubters despite a disputed late call.
Quarterback CJ Carr threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns, with Micah Gilbert catching two of those scores, Jordan Faison one, and Nolan James Jr adding a rushing touchdown, helping Notre Dame improve to an 8‑1 record.
The victory avenged Notre Dame’s most damaging loss from last season that cost a playoff berth, and while Miami mounted a comeback without Malachi Toney, the result sees another No. 1 team fall and leaves Notre Dame at No. 11 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
