AI notes: On October 9, 1971, the No. 7 Notre Dame Fighting Irish faced the Miami Hurricanes at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida, securing a 17–0 shutout victory. Notre Dame’s defense dominated throughout the game, effectively neutralizing Miami’s offensive threats, while quarterback Pat Steenberge efficiently guided the Fighting Irish’s offense.
