Miami Beats Notre Dame 27-24, Spurs Top WR Recruitment

The No. 10 Miami Hurricanes secured a significant 27-24 victory over No. 6 Notre Dame, marking a key moment for the program and head coach Mario Cristobal. Georgia transfer quarterback Carson Beck made a strong debut with 205 yards and two touchdowns, while kicker Carter Davis sealed the win with a 47-yard field goal in the final minutes. The win was highlighted by a disciplined defensive effort that limited Notre Dame's rushing attack and pressured their quarterback, reflecting a team style more aligned with Cristobal's vision. This victory has already impacted recruiting positively, with Miami predicted to land top wide receiver prospect Nick Lennear, among others, who were impressed by the game atmosphere. Transfers like Beck and Davis played pivotal roles in the win, and freshman Malachi Toney’s breakout performance also drew attention. Cristobal emphasized the importance of execution, discipline, and physicality, viewing the win as a stepping stone toward Miami's ambitions for ACC and national championships.
