Key Points:

Miami Hurricanes star receiver Malachi Toney suffered an ankle injury in practice and is expected to undergo surgery, though the team hopes it won't be season-ending.
Toney is a key offensive player, accounting for over 35% of Miami's receptions, nearly 39% of receiving yards, and 46% of receiving touchdowns this season, making his potential absence a major blow.
His injury could significantly impact Miami's offensive strategy against Notre Dame, as Toney's versatility forces defenses to adjust and helps open up the running game.
Toney's injury has also affected Heisman Trophy odds, with his chances dropping from second to fourth, and could negatively influence quarterback Darian Mensah's candidacy due to reduced passing options.
Notre Dame is now favored by 6.5 points over Miami, and CBS Sports will provide ongoing updates on Toney's condition leading up to the game.
