Miami Hurricanes fans filled South Florida sports bars to watch their team play Notre Dame on Saturday. At the Carolina Ale House in Weston, the orange and green crowd was loud and confident before kickoff, with fans chanting “Let’s go Canes!”

Miami will be without wide receiver Malachi Toney, who is injured. Fans said the next player up would need to step in, and they wished Toney well. The team is 8-0.

Former Miami player Randal “Thrill” Hill, known for the team’s 3rd-and-43 play against Notre Dame, predicted a road win. Hill said the Hurricanes have never won a game at Notre Dame, but he believes coach Mario Cristobal’s team will get it done.

At halftime, Notre Dame held the lead, but some fans were not ready to give up. At the Ale House in Doral, viewers said they expected a difficult game because Notre Dame is ranked No. 11 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
