1. Miami wins convincingly, jumps back into AP Top 25

Though AJ Dillon will give the Miami defense its fair share of fits, the Hurricanes will match that output on the offensive end from guys like Travis Homer, Malik Rosier and DeeJay Dallas. Those three will make up for the 200 yards rushing allowed to Dillon on the opposite side of the field, accounting for about 200 of their own.

Through the air, Rosier will have a big game, as previously stated, throwing for over 300 yards for the first time on the year and despite playing in a hostile environment for some Friday night football, the Hurricanes won’t be fazed.

Miami is favored by 3.5 points on the road, but the Hurricanes will cover that, and then some.

Mark Richt will get some of the national media off his back following a tough loss at Virginia and his team will play revitalized football fresh off a bye week.

The Hurricanes will jump back into the AP Top 25 with the double-digit victory and they’ll move one step closer to the top of the ACC Coastal standings.
