1. What’s next for Miami football?

Mario Cristobal has his signature win in Miami. Commentators mentioned that Cristobal said you need seasons like 2022 to be great. Everything came together this afternoon at Hard Rock for the Hurricanes. The offense looked explosive, and the defense looked fast to the football. The young offensive line was solid, and the defensive line was a wall.

Miami has Bethune-Cookman and Temple before beginning conference play. If the Hurricanes continue this big play ability, they will be dangerous in conference play this fall.

What’s next for Texas A&M?

Today’s loss does not mean the season’s over in College Station. On the bright side, Jimbo Fisher and Bobby Petrino must be happy with how Connor Wegman battled all game. He did throw the first two interceptions of his collegiate career but showed good command of the offense. Texas A&M has to run the football better.

They also need to take advantage of the receivers they have and push the football deep more often. Their lack of explosive plays might have been due to Miami’s aggressive pass rush. The pass rush would have been negated if the running game would have been more effective.
