In one of the most highly-anticipated games of the college football season, the No. 1-ranked Miami Hurricanes (8-0) visit the Associated Press No. 4 and College Football Playoff No. 11 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (7-1) in a historic rivalry matchup featuring multiple Heisman Trophy candidates. Live from Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Indiana.

The Notre Dame-Miami rivalry is famous for its late 1980s contests in which both schools, led by legendary coaches Lou Holtz (Notre Dame) and Jimmy Johnson (Miami), were national championship contenders and frequently played each other. The rivalry intensified during the 1988 season, in which No. 4 Notre Dame upset No. 1 Miami, 31-30, in South Bend. The Fighting Irish would go on to win their remaining five games that season and defeat No. 3 West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl to earn their 11th, and most recent, national championship. The following year, Miami got its revenge, defeating No. 1 Notre Dame 27-10 on their way to winning the national championship. But in 1990, the Fighting Irish defeated the No. 2 Hurricanes, 29-20, which closed out the series for two decades. The Fighting Irish lead the all-time series, 18-9-1.
