The day for Miami's National Championship run begins tonight when the team travels out west to take on the (1-0) Stanford Cardinal at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Several Stanford Cardinal players were included in the first availability injury report that was released on Wednesday afternoon. Here are some of the names that Coach Tavita Pritchard named that will be out or questionable.

OUT:
OLB #2 Dylan Stephenson
WR #15 Carter Shaw
CB #18 Jason Hill Jr.
K #19 London Bironas
DB #22 Zaiden McDonald
WR #22 Daylen Sharper
CB #26 Chris Garland
CB #27 Breylan Thompson
CB #30 Jack Duckworth
CB #31 Aaron Morris
DL #42 Jacobi Murray
OL #52 Aidan Kilstrom
OL #53 Nathan Mejia
DL #58 Brendan Delaney
OL #60 Nick Fattig
TE #83 Reiman Zebert

DOUBTFUL:
WR #23 Nico Brown
OLB #49 Gabe Kaminski
OL #66 Niki Prongos

QUESTIONABLE:
WR #0 Caden High
OL #55 Simione Pale

PROBABLE:
ILB #0 Jahsiah Galvan


When you look at the availability report, the Hurricanes have a huge advantage. The Cardinal have a total of 18 players who are ruled out or questionable. However, the team may return one of their best wide receivers, Caden High.

They were hit hard at the offensive line position, losing multiple key contributors, especially left tackle Niki Prongos. Starting center Aiden Kilstrom left the game during the home opener against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. DThis gives the Miami front seven a massive edge in tonight's game, as the Hurricanes defensive line is considered among the best in the country.

Even though the Cardinal has three starters missing on the offensive line, Tavita Pritchard made it known that this game is going to be physical and that the team needs to establish the run game. The Cardinal dominated the Rainbow Warriors on the ground, gaining 177 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

On the other side, Mario Cristobal listed four players out: Jordan Lyle, Dylan Day, Ja'Boree Antoine, and Luka Gilbert. Tonight's matchup will determine a lot for both teams. However, one of the main questions heading into the game is whether the Cardinal can execute without multiple starters. We shall see tonight.

Good for Dylan Stephenson to land at Stanford. He's a local kid.
 
I hope Mario doesn’t pull the plug on the offense like he’s had a habit of doing ,especially last year in the Notre Dump and Noles games that almost cost us both games.

Let’s put up a fifty burger and announce our arrival into the ‘26 CFB season
