This is the second meeting between Miami (Ohio) and Notre Dame in program history, with Notre Dame winning their 2017 matchup 52-17. A win would be the RedHawk’s first road win against a ranked opponent since 2003, when a Ben Roethlisberger -led squad defeated #20 Bowling Green for the 2003 MAC Championship.

Miami is not particularly great against the run and running the ball is just about the only thing Notre Dame is doing well offensively right now. Expect Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price to both have big days again as the Irish roll to the first home win of the season.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — For the second time in three weeks, Notre Dame will host a MAC opponent as a four-touchdown favorite. And there’s a good chance the experience against Northern Illinois will inform how Saturday afternoon (3:30 p.m., NBC) unfolds against Miami (Ohio).
