Sophomore CJ Carr had the best game of his career in Notre Dame's 31-24 win over then-No. 1 Miami, and the Heisman talk followed. He's now the Heisman favorite on multiple platforms, and Las Vegas oddsmakers flipped to put him ahead of Miami's Darian Mensah after Carr's last drive of the first half. Fans stormed the field afterward.

“Dude, let me go celebrate this sucker. We earned this thing.”

Notre Dame built a 24-3 lead less than 90 seconds into the second half, then had to fend off two Miami rallies. On fourth-and-2 early in the fourth quarter, Carr found Nolan James Jr. for 36 yards, and James scored on a 1-yard dive for a 31-17 lead. Micah Gilbert led the team with nine catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns.
