Notre Dame got the win it needed on Saturday night, upsetting No. 1 Miami 31-24 in front of a raucous home crowd.

The Irish got major contributions on both sides of the ball, offensively led by quarterback CJ Carr and defensively safety Luke Talich and defensive end Boubacar Traore. While Notre Dame build a solid 24-3 lead early in the second half, the Hurricanes never gave up and made it a game until the last moments.

Many went to social media to react to the Notre Dame huge upset over Miami, and here are some of the best posts made after the win.

An awesome moment for the program, not just the current players but future as well. Monds, the 2027 quarterback commit, seems pretty happy about last nights result.

Assistant wide receivers coach Shaun Shivers

The Irish have made a huge mark recruiting the state of Florida, and this win is just more to add to their pitch. Come to South Bend, win big games, compete for titles and major awards. Enough said.

You can hear the team going nuts in the locker room, and Freeman acknowledge it, breaking up his press conference. He was proud of his team, and rightfully so.

Was Notre Dame underrated entering the game?

After this result, there is a very good argument that the Irish should have been ranked much higher in the initial CFP Poll. Nicole Auerbach is right, Notre Dame looked like a top-5 team instead of a top-12 on Saturday.

It’s a family atmosphere in South Bend, as the coaches all support each other. The basketball team has gotten off to a good start, 2-0, and Seider was happy to see the football team get the victory.

CJ Carr just wants to celebrate

This one is worth the big celebration, and Carr most likely just wanted to be in the locker room with his teammates. This is the culmination of all their hard work, and with more season to be played, they should enjoy this win.
