No. 6 Notre Dame has pulled out to a 17-3 lead over No. 1 Miami (FL) at halftime on the strength of an 18-yard touchdown pass from quarterback CJ Carr to wide receiver Micah Gilbert.
The pass, on what looked like a slant route, ended an 8-play, 81-yard drive that took 1:39 off of the clock.
Notre Dame was looking for a score before the end of the half, since Miami gets the ball to start the second half. Gilbert made an athletic catch earlier in the drive, as well. That one was also for 18 yards.
