Notre Dame outgained Miami, 175 yards to 87 (including 115 yards rushing to negative 17), but missed field goals of 22 and 27 yards. The latter miss came with 5:15 left in the game, after a drive that had advanced to the Miami 3 yard line before going backwards. Miami had no serious scoring threats and only once made it as far as the ND 42 yard line.[ 4]
