No. 1 Miami just lost Malachi Toney, and Vegas has the Canes as 7.5-point underdogs at Notre Dame. So why am I MORE excited for Saturday night than I was before the injury? Toney got hurt in Wednesday's practice. He's having surgery on a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season, with hope of a return for the playoff. It's a brutal blow. But this is the kind of game Mario Cristobal has built this program to win. A No. 1 team as a road underdog is a rare spot to be in, and it's a chance for this roster to prove Miami isn't a one-man operation. In this video: 🏈 Why losing Toney could refocus this team instead of breaking it 🎯 Darian Mensah's moment: the Heisman race and his draft stock both on the line in South Bend 🛡️ Corey Hetherman's defense: the tackling and secondary questions, and why Notre Dame's weapons don't scare me like UNC's and Pitt's did 📢 Who steps up at receiver: Cooper Barkate and the rest of the room 🏃 Mark Fletcher: remind people who you are 🚩 Discipline: three penalties for 30 yards at UNC. Miami needs that again 🗣️ "Leave no doubt"? Miami should flip Notre Dame's slogan and own it My final score prediction is in the video.
