Good morning, folks! For the first time this season, your Miami Hurricanes team will finally play a Saturday football game.
The team is back home today at Hard Rock Stadium to play against the Central Michigan Chippewas. Head coach Mario Cristobal currently has the Hurricanes sitting at 3-0 on the season, downing Stanford, FAMU, and Wake Forest. On the opposite side of the ball, the Chippewas are led by head coach Matt Drinkall, who has his team sitting at 2-1 after defeating Colgate and Wyoming.
On paper, the Hurricanes should dominate in every aspect on the field. However, what's interesting about the Chippewas is that they don't pass the ball -- at all. On the season, the Chippewas have a total of 26 passing attempts. They're a run-option squad as quarterback Angel Flores is their entire offense -- leading them in rushing with 312 yards on 60 carries.
The preparation is over. The good guys are back on the field today. Here is everything you need to know about tonight's matchup against the Chippewas:

Let's break down the uniform: white helmets, green jerseys, green pants, white socks, and black cleats.
