In the renewal of the “Catholics vs. Convicts” rivalry between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Miami Hurricanes, Miami wide receiver C.J. Daniels made an acrobatic touchdown catch so impressive that it felt illegal.
Daniels made the leaping backward one-handed go-ahead grab with 12 seconds left in the first half as he tumbled into the end zone on Sunday. Tenth-ranked Miami (1–0) went up 14–7 and stayed ahead the rest of the way, except for a brief 24–24 tie, in a 27–24 victory over the No. 6 Irish (0–1).
