A historic rival on the heels of a run to the College Football Playoff championship game awaits Mario Cristobal and No. 10 Miami in Week 1 of the 2025 college football season.
The Hurricanes will face Marcus Freeman and the No. 5-ranked Fighting Irish, breaking in new quarterback CJ Carr. The Fighting Irish will travel to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, to take on the Hurricanes.
Notre Dame had a heated quarterback battle in training camp, which resulted in Carr beating out Kenny Minchey and others. Carr, the grandson of former Fighting Irish coach Lloyd Carr, was the No. 6-ranked quarterback of the 2024 recruiting class, per 247Sports’ Composite rankings.
Facing Carr is Beck, who won two national championships as a Georgia backup and is entering his third season as a college starter. One of the most sought-after transfer portal recruits from the offseason, Beck is looking to rebuild his NFL draft stock similar to Cam Ward, who went No. 1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft after a huge year with the Hurricanes under returning offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson.
