A Second Look At Notre Dame's 27-24 Loss To Miami Sep 01, 2025

Show notes

Greg Flammang of Irish Sports Daily provides commentary and analysis the morning after Notre Dame's 27-24 loss to Miami in Hard Rock Stadium. It was a game the Irish were never in control of and couldn't take advantage of the momentum they'd built at various points to take the lead. CJ Carr was impressive in his debut, but the Irish needed more from their veteran offensive skill talent to help him along. Plus, a look at the defense, their lack of havoc plays, and what they need to do to create more negatives for the offense. Miami didn't gash Notre Dame, but they weren't uncomfortable often enough. New defensive coordinator Chris Ash needs to solve that problem against Texas A&M.
