Miami Cheerleader Grabs Attention During Huge Win Sunday Night

A stunning University of Miami cheerleader went viral during her team’s big Week 1 victory this weekend.

The Hurricanes bested Notre Dame on Sunday evening. Miami, led by transfer quarterback Carson Beck, topped Marcus Freeman’s squad, 27-24, in a Sunday evening contest. The Hurricanes got 205 yards and two passing touchdowns from the former Georgia Bulldogs QB, while The U’s defense forced two Notre Dame turnovers.

Colin Cowherd was impressed.

“Miami Hurricanes have a tricky early schedule but Carson Beck played well and they absolutely looked the part. Some insanely athletic moments. The CJ Daniels catch 👀 among them. College football is better when the Canes are thriving. They just bring a cool energy. 🌴 🌊 🏈,” he wrote on X.

While Miami got the job done on the field, a stunning Hurricanes cheerleader went viral off of it.

“The moment we’ve all been waiting for. It’s GAMEDAY 🙌🧡📣,” Miami wrote before kickoff.

The stunning Miami Hurricanes cheerleader had everyone’s attention during the contest. She’s developed a nice following on Instagram, with more than 2,000 followers.

That number should go up during the year, too.

Miami’s schedule moving forward

On the field, the Hurricanes have what could be a nice path to the College Football Playoff. Miami is set to play Florida in Week 4. The U then faces Florida State in early October. The Hurricanes are also set to travel to SMU in early November. They have to go to Virginia Tech later in November, but they avoid Clemson in conference play.

The schedule sets up nicely for a potential 10 or 11-win season and a College Football Playoff berth.
