No. 17 Notre Dame hopes to avoid another upset at the hands of a Mid-American Conference team when it hosts Miami (Ohio) on Saturday. The Fighting Irish suffered a shocking loss at the hands of Northern Illinois two weeks ago in their home opener.

“They are insanely talented,” said Chuck Martin, who spent four seasons on Notre Dame’s coaching staff before taking his current job following the 2013 season. ”They’ve done a great job recruiting. They play really hard. They know what they’re doing. They’ve got a great secondary.”That’s not what Notre Dame fans watched the previous week when Northern Illinois ruined the Irish home opener with a shocking 16-14 upset.
“We can be a really good football team,” Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said. “We’ve got work to do. Let’s evaluate the film the right way, let’s come up with a plan to attack and fix the issues that we have and continue to prepare and respect your opponent.” “It’s an awesome opportunity for us, and a really cool experience to go to any type of venue like that,” he said. “My personal opinion is we’re going to the greatest venue on the planet.”Coogan could have left Notre Dame after losing his starting job last year. Instead, he never considered it — not even after failing to win the job back in August.
