Miami Hurricanes

The Miami Hurricanes have moved up four spots in this week’s poll as they come in at number 10. The Hurricanes next three opponents are ranked in the AP Top 25 as well.

Last week against the Yellow Jackets, the Miami defense forced three turnovers and allowed just 94 passing yards. The Hurricanes sacked the Yellow Jackets four times in the game in 35-21 victory.

Quarterback Brad Kaaya was 13 for 19 with 241 passing yards and a touchdown. Running back Joseph Yearby had 9 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown.

The Hurricanes have allowed just 11 points per game this season, second in the FBS.

Next Week: Florida State

The Hurricanes face the Seminoles this week and look to snap a losing streak. Miami has lost the last six games against Florida State.
