Bethune-Cookman vs. No. 5 Miami
PREGAME:
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — No. 5 Miami is set to face a lower in-state opponent after the instant classic to open the season against No. 6 Notre Dame, 27-24.
The Hurricanes have a ton of things to clean up after facing one of the best defenses in the country, and against the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats, the Canes could open the playbook up even more.
The Wildcats are coming off a loss to the FIU Panthers, giving up 223 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns. This is the perfect time for some of the younger talent to show what they have for the Hurricanes, given the strength of the opponent being faced in week two.
