It wasn't pretty. The home crowd booed their top-25 team at times as the No. 17 Fighting Irish squad got off to a sluggish start. But Notre Dame (3-1) got enough done to fend off Miami-OH (0-3), winning 28-3 after trailing early. The game had its highs--QB Riley Leonard threw a 38-yard touchdown pass and added a 50-yard touchdown rush on the ground-- and it had its lows in the form of a muffed punt by WR Jordan Faison. But, the Irish defense was able to force two turnovers and held veteran QB Brett Gabbert to 119 yards on 14/35 passing. After the game, Irish Illustrated's Tim Prister and Tim O'Malley were joined by Irish Illustrated Contributor John Brice of Football Scoop as they reviewed Notre Dame's 28-3 victory over Miami-Ohio and previewed Notre Dame's season-defining game against Louisville.
