The Miami Hurricanes are back at Hard Rock Stadium this Saturday night, this time facing Bethune-Cookman. After a huge win over Notre Dame, Miami is expected to take care of business against the Wildcats without much trouble. But even though the Canes are heavy favorites, there are still some goals they need to lock in on for this game.
Like with any so-called “cakewalk” game, the number one goal is simple, get out healthy with no injuries. Still, there are a few other things Miami should focus on if they want to call tonight a success. Here are the other four key goals for the Hurricanes.
Start Fast
The Canes can’t afford to come out slow just because it’s an FCS team. Scoring early and setting the tone will let them control the game from the start.
Play Clean Football
These types of games can get sloppy if a team isn’t locked in. Miami has to avoid dumb penalties and turnovers so they don’t give Bethune-Cookman any confidence.
Get the Backups In
If Miami takes care of business, this is a perfect opportunity for young players and backups to get more playing time.
Run the Ball
The Hurricanes should dominate in the trenches. Establishing the run game early not only moves the chains but also shows off the strength of Miami’s offensive line.
Stay Healthy
The biggest goal is simple, no injuries. Miami has bigger games coming up, and losing key players in this type of game would be tough.
This game is less about the score and more about preparation. If Miami can start fast, play clean, get backups in, run the ball, and stay healthy, then it’ll be a successful night no matter what the scoreboard says.
