There might not be a more excited group of fans to get back to the college football season than the Notre Dame faithful. Coming off a National Championship appearance, expectations are high. It won’t be an easy course to get back, but their campaign will start against the University of Miami.
Miami didn’t have a bad season themselves, but finished 13th in the College Football Playoff rankings and missing the 12-team playoff field. That’s a chip on the shoulder if I’ve ever heard of one. Miami held a 10-2 record to finish the season, but a key loss to Syracuse landed them in third place in the ACC. They will start the season at home, hosting the Fighting Irish.
What does this mean for college football fans? Two teams will a lot to prove heading into the season will face off in the first week. Miami will host Notre Dame at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, Aug. 31 at 7:30 p.m. ET.
