The work has been put in. Now game week is here. Miami Hurricanes vs. Notre Dame.

A lot of questions will be answered on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. at Hard Rock Stadium, but a lot will also be answered today. That’s because Miami coach Mario Cristobal and coordinators Shannon Dawson and Corey Hetherman plus Director of Athletics Dan Radakovich will be sharing their thoughts this afternoon. We of course will have full coverage of that. As the week goes along we’ll hear from Carson Beck and players after practices.

CaneSport hasn’t been shy labeling this a “must win game.” It’s about as big as it gets.

We’ve also reported tirelessly on the team all fall to get to this point.

We’ve got you covered with it all. SIGN UP HERE TODAY!
