After defeating the Stanford Cardinal 45-6 in Week 1, head coach Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes will return home tonight to play against a much weaker FAMU Rattlers team inside Hard Rock Stadium.
The Rattlers are looking to bounce back after losing 31-13 to South Carolina State in Week 1. Despite the loss, they covered the spread against the Bulldogs as 19.5-point underdogs. Today, the team announced that starting quarterback Isaiah Knowles will miss the remainder of the season, after sustaining a thumb injury during the second half of the South Carolina State game. Knowles will be replaced by junior Alabama State transfer quarterback James Haynes.
On the other hand, this Miami Hurricanes team feels like one of the best teams in the country. The dynamic duo of Malachi Toney and Darian Mensah headlines the Hurricanes offense as they combined for 234 yards of offense during the victory over Stanford. The defense gave up 299 yards of offense, but limited the Cardinal run game by allowing a total of 79 rushing yards.
Enough talk, let's dive into this matchup shall we.
