Will No. 1 Miami stand up in Week 10 without star WR Malachi Toney?

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. No. 1 Miami (8-0) walks into South Bend tonight without star WR Malachi Toney (73 catches, 1,027 yards, 13 TDs) -- out after ankle surgery Thursday, sidelined at least four weeks but expected back for the College Football Playoff. The Canes still have QB Darian Mensah (25 TDs, 1 INT, nation-leading 80.7% completions) and the FBS' top scoring offense at 47.6 points a game. No. 4 Notre Dame (7-1) is favored at home, and Greg McElroy is picking the Irish 34-27 -- a loss could end Notre Dame's playoff hopes, with no win over a ranked team and no ranked opponent left on the schedule. Miami beat the Irish 27-24 in last year's opener. Kickoff 7:30pm ET on NBC. College GameDay is live from South Bend this morning. via ESPN Read more at collegefootballpapers.com -- link in bio
