No. 10 Miami is set to face No. 6 Notre Dame, and one last time, legendary figure and icon of the sport, Lee Corso, had some last picks in him.

Right before taking center stage in the middle of the "The Shoe," Corso chose the Hurricanes over the Fighting Irish.

One of the all-time greats for the football world also had his final send-off, choosing No.3 Ohio State over No. 1 Texas with his final pick and donning the headgear of the Buckeyes.

"Give me my first love!"

Lee Corso's first-ever headgear pick belonged to Brutus and the Buckeyes and it's only fitting that his last one is the same ❤️ pic.twitter.com/A8Fgj8b3TR

How to Watch: No.6 Notre Dame vs. Miami

For the first time since 2017, the Miami Hurricanes and Notre Dame will face off against each other in one of the most important matchups of the year — and it's only week one.

The Hurricanes are coming in prepared to upset the Fighting Irish to start the season in a home opener that is expected to be the loudest Hard Rock Stadium has been since The Weeknd concert a few weeks prior. In a football sense, it will be the loudest the stadium has been since the Canes defeated the Irish in their last matchup.

The Hurricanes are set to debut Carson Beck in the orange and green, while the Marcus Freeman-led Irish will be debuting their redshirt freshman CJ Carr. It will be a hard-nosed battle between two of the top programs in the nation as they try to set the tone for the season.

Who: Notre Dame and the Miami Hurricanes

When: Sunday, Aug. 31 at 7:30 p.m. ET

Where: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Fla.

TV: ABC

Radio: FM 104.3 WQAM

Last Outing, Notre Dame: The last time the Fighting Irish saw the field was in defeat in the National Championship to Ohio State, 34-23.

Last Outing, Miami: The Hurricanes ended their campaign against the Iowa State Cyclones in a controversial defeat, not because of what was going on during the game, but the conversation around eventual No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward only playing a half of football.

Last Meeting: The last time these two teams met, Miami handled Notre Dame decisively, 41–8, which shifted the Hurricanes' culture for the better.
