The Miami Hurricanes are five days from kicking off versus the Florida Gators and it's going to be intriguing to see which players step into the two-deep depth chart.
There will be obvious starters like quarterback Cam Ward and middle linebacker Francisco Mauigoa . Both of them are potential All-Americans at season's end. Certain positions have battles that may not be 100% done. Plus, other positions might rotate more than two players, like running back.
Speaking of the backfield, it's expected that Damien Martinez takes the bulk of the carries but there are also several good running backs. Nobody truly knows how much Mark Fletcher, Jr . will play, if at all, either.
On defense, there are a lot of players to consider along the defensive line. Where will each player line up with so much talent?
The secondary has many different combinations that could play out. Except for Daryl Porter, Jr . at one cornerback position, it's hard to say which players definitely start and where. It might be the most difficult group to predict.
Here's what AllHurricanes believes will be the starting lineup for the Week 1 matchup against Florida and inside The Swamp.
