Notre Dame Football: Miami Hurricanes Q&A with State Of The U - One Foot Down
By Google News Sports ·
Folks,,, I don’t think I really need to do too much explaining or setting of the scene today. Tomorrow night, your 7-1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish — ranked 4th in the AP Poll and 11th in the College Football Playoff rankings — will host the #1, undefeated Miami Hurricanes in what is the biggest regular season matchup for the Irish since…the 2005 USC game? The Irish are without multiple talented starters on defense (with a few more questionable). Miami is also down some guys, including the 2nd-best player in the country as Malachi Toney sits out after having surgery on his ankle. It’s do or die for the Irish, who very likely won’t make the Playoff without this win (especially with Toney not playing), while for Miami, they can go ahead and buckle themselves in the driver’s seat for the #1 seed if they take down Notre Dame on the road without their star wideout.

And more importantly, what should we know about Gloria Estefan, Osama bin Laden’s half-brother, Miami fans’ feelings about Chuck Martin/Ben Roethlisberger, and which Hurricanes players/coaches are best suited to fight fires in a Sebastian the Ibis costume? To offer up some excellent insight into all those questions you guys have been asking in the leadup to this huge game, I reached out to…
