Who's winning the Notre Dame vs. Miami game?

One of the biggest splashes this off-season was Miami signing marquee QB Carson Beck. Beck had major success with the Georgia Bulldogs and is looking to continue that with Miami. But he faces a stout Notre Dame defense that was the national runner-up a year ago.  Despite being at home, Miami is currently a 2.5-point underdog. Look for Notre Dame to lean on star RB  Jeremiyah Love and seal this game in a low-scoring affair.
