We have finally arrived. It’s gameday for the 2025 college football season, and the #6 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish are traveling to Hard Rock Stadium to take on the #10 ranked Miami Hurricanes.
Notre Dame went threw the fires of a quarterback competition during fall camp, and much of the greatness of the other parts of this team got lost a little bit during the conversation. The Irish boast one of the best defenses in the country with, perhaps, the best secondary in the nation. They also have
the nation’s best running back with Jeremiyah Love, and perhaps, the best running back tandem when you ass Jadarian Price into the mix. The offensive line is big, strong, and experienced — and also a Joe Moore Award finalist last year.
There’s so much good going on with this Notre Dame team led by Marcus Freeman, that it’s kind of funny there’s so much focus on new quarterback, sophomore CJ Carr. The position is the most important in college football, but with the cast surrounding him on both sides of the ball — the Irish are poised to make another run for the national championship.
And it all starts in Miami…
