No. 10 Miami hung on for a 27-24 win over No. 6 Notre Dame on Sunday night.
The Hurricanes lost a 10-point lead over the course of the fourth quarter but got a 47-yard field goal from Carter Davis with 1:04 remaining for the win.
Sunday's game was Davis' first as a Miami player after he transferred from Florida Atlantic and beat out former Texas kicker Bert Auburn for the starting job. Davis was just 4-of-11 on field goals in his FAU career and had made just three of nine kicks over 40 yards.
Notre Dame didn't have any timeouts remaining and didn't get across midfield on its final drive of the game as the Miami pass rush got to CJ Carr on back-to-back snaps to seal the game.
Davis' first field goal of the game came with 9:42 to go and gave Miami a 24-14 lead. That field goal was set up b a deflected interception by defensive end Reuben Bain after the Hurricanes blew up a bubble screen.

However, Notre Dame got the game tied with 3:21 to go when Carr rushed for a 7-yard TD. Miami's offense had been stagnant for much of the fourth quarter. The Hurricanes gained just six yards on their three drives before Carr's TD.
But the offense got back going again when they needed points. Miami went 46 yards in nine plays to set up Davis' field goal, though you can't blame any Miami fan for wondering why the play-calling got so conservative on that final drive and in the fourth quarter overall.
Miami ran the ball on its final five plays of the drive to set up Davis' long field goal attempt. Part of that was to get Notre Dame to use all three of its timeouts. But it was also a seemingly risky strategy to put a largely unproven kicker in that spot with a player like Carson Beck at quarterback.
The former Georgia starter was making his first start at Miami after transferring in the offseason and reportedly getting a $4 million NIL deal to play for the Hurricanes. Beck was 20-of-30 passing on Sunday night for 205 yards and two TDs as true freshman wide receiver Malachi Toney had six catches for 82 yards and a TD.
