No. 17 Notre Dame shakes off sluggish start in 28-3 win over Miami (Ohio)

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Haunted by off-target passes and penalties, Notre Dame found itself trailing 3-0 early in the second quarter on a 26-yard field goal by Miami’s Dom Dzioban. “But if you let that affect the way you go out and execute the next play, then, man, you’re not the right person for this job, or to be our quarterback at Notre Dame. Those kids didn’t get recruited by Miami of Ohio.” The takeaway One week after piling up 42 points in the first half in a 66-7 victory at Purdue, Notre Dame managed only 40 yards combined on its first three drives against Miami. Poll implications Notre Dame will likely stay in the Top 20, but don’t expect a major jump after early struggles against a Miami team still in search of its first victory.
