Notre Dame (2-1) will look to earn its first home win of the season on Saturday when the 17th-ranked Fighting Irish host Miami (Ohio). Notre Dame will look to build on its impressive rout of Purdue and built its first win streak of the season. It's important game for the Irish to build some momentum before the toughness of the schedule ramps up.

Notre Dame already lost one home game to a Mid-American Conference opponent. The Irish are doing everything possible to avoid a repeat.

It’s a lesson Notre Dame didn’t want to have to learn so publicly, but it’s one Marcus Freeman won’t waste as the Irish further rebuild the credibility lost during that shock afternoon earlier this month.
