The Miami RedHawks and the No. 17 Notre Dame Fighting Irish locked horns on Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium. Riley Leonard was the starting quarterback for the Fighting Irish, while the RedHawks went with Brett Gabberts to make plays at center.
The Fighting Irish came into this game after crushing Purdue University 66-7 last week. On the other end, the RedHawks suffered a tough loss against the Cincinnati Bearcats last week.
Notre Dame entered this matchup as 27.5-point favorites over Miami of Ohio. They closely finished near what the oddsmakers thought, as excellent defense from Fighting Irish for most part of the game ensured the RedHawks could make only one field goal in the entire game. Of course, no touchdowns as Notre Dame won the game 28-3.
