The Irish were very sloppy on offense, as their first three drives were all five plays or less, as they saw the Redhawks take a 3-0 lead. Notre Dame would answer as they found the end zone on their four series as quarterback Riley Leonard ran it in from 8-yards out.

Notre Dame appearing to sleepwalk early Saturday against Miami (Ohio) wasn't a surprise to the RedHawks head coach.

Notre Dame improved to 3-1 on the season with a sloppy - yet convincing - victory over Miami (Ohio). For the third time in four games the Irish fell behind early, but in this game they bounced back and pulled away from Miami (Ohio). Notre Dame scored the final 28 points of the game in the win.
