Adon Shuler is playing Sunday. His dad would be mad if he didn't.

Just 48 hours after announcing the loss of his father, Shuler rejoined his team feeling inspired by the life he lived.

"Blessed to have the 20 years of my life with my dad."

Saw this design from Mike Denbrock a few times for short but productive gains to Notre Dame’s TEs.

Bit of a natural pick from the slot, and it takes advantage of one of Miami’s weak spots (LB/nickel coverage).

Not gonna make any headlines, but it put the Irish in good spots.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Elite.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Bryce Young has a new plan of attack, and it's turning him into the edge rusher Notre Dame knew he could be.

Talked to Bryce about the inside cross-chop move he flashed in Week 1 and the processes that have him on the brink of a breakout.

The pass is broken up, but wanted to highlight how good Notre Dame’s protection was.

Stunts are all picked up. Perfect pocket all game.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Notre Dame stunted a ton in this game, and DTs like Tionne Gray did a great job of containing Darian Mensah when it did.

There was the pass deflection and then there was this, where Gray threw the guard to the side and forced a hurried throw.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Armel Mukam would be very high on the list of guys I’d want back for a fifth year if I were Notre Dame.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Marcus Freeman looks very happy he acquired Jayden Sanders from Michigan, as he well should be.

Brought in as depth, Sanders looks like Notre Dame’s next great corner.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Bryce Young does a great job attacking pulling guards in pass protection.

Not only forces Mensah outside here but draws a holding penalty. Drive-killing work here.

The Notre Dame 6-pack is live!

@jacksoble56 and @TJamesND bring the topics. You bring the beverages.

@gdomer1 He's stalk blocking here because this is an RPO. His assignment backs up because Carr pulls it. Nothing wrong with this.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Play action creates this throwing window for CJ Carr.

Watch the safeties, No. 7 and No. 25. They’re supposed to be the inside and underneath help, respectively. Instead, they bite on the fake and they’re nowhere near the ball when it arrives.

Great call by Mike Denbrock.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

On "Wake Up The Echoes" with @TonySimeonePxP, Marcus Freeman pointed out something else CJ Carr did here: He looked away from the boundary safety, No. 25.

If the safety sees him looking at him, he's taught to sit on the RPO. But he didn't, so he bit.

A+ quarterbacking by Carr.

Marcus Freeman raved about Notre Dame’s two-minute drill before halftime against Miami, so I broke down every play for @BGInews.

Absurdity from Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

The committee still doesn't know what it's doing, but Notre Dame is in a good spot at No. 5.

Key games for the Irish moving forward: Texas at LSU on Nov. 14 (root for LSU), Utah at Arizona on Nov. 14 (root for Arizona) and USC at UCLA on Nov. 28 (root for, gasp, USC).

Notre Dame is No. 5 in the CFP rankings after beating Miami, who dropped to No. 7.

One spot away from a first-round bye.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Something poetic between the lead-in for the CFP rankings show being the last two minutes of a college basketball game.

It's a things no one likes party and everyone is invited.

“Give it all you got for somebody else! For your team! For your family! For Notre Dame!”

Watch what Notre Dame right guard Sullivan Absher did to Miami defensive tackle Ahmad Moten Sr. on Jonaz Walton's reception.

Pass pro is not passive.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Going on record now: If the committee uses Malachi Toney’s absence to justify limiting Notre Dame’s move up in the rankings tonight, that would be absurd.

Notre Dame was missing five defensive starters and Miami made its comeback when Leonard Moore was hurt, too.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

@wolfND143 @Marcus_Freeman1 @MikeDenbrock Hey guys, if we've all seen it then I'm gonna guess they have, too.

If you think their reaction to that question will be "Wow, I'll look into that," I have bad news for you.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

Here’s the play this was about.

Watch the free safety, JJ Dunnigan. He starts to walk down toward the LOS at the snap and then he takes off, not concerned about the pass.

He’s the one who eventually makes the play.

[Jack Soble @jacksoble56]

I believe Miami has seen the "hands behind the back" tell from CJ Carr when they're in pistol. As soon as he did that on second-and-10, the Hurricanes' coaches motioned their DBs closer to the line of scrimmage.

Promising drive stalls there, but Spencer Porath makes it 3-0.
