Notre Dame Fighting Irish to Host Miami Hurricanes on NBC Sports, Today

NBC Sports Group continues its 26th season of NOTRE DAME FOOTBALL on NBC this Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET, when the Fighting Irish host the Miami Hurricanes at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ind.

Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly and the Fighting Irish (2-5) enter Saturday's game following a 17-10 loss against Stanford on October 15. Miami head coach Mark Richt and the Hurricanes (4-3) visit South Bend following a 37-16 loss against Virginia Tech.

Saturday's matchup will mark the 26th all-time meeting between the Fighting Irish and the Hurricanes, with the rivalry dating back to 1955.
