Miami Hurricanes LB Francisco Mauigoa talks upcoming season opener and more: “This defense is very physical and very aggressive”

Coach’s take on Miami four-star WR commit Daylyn Upshaw: “He is truly a veteran when it comes to the game of football”

MESSAGE BOARD POST OF THE DAY

Miami vs. Florida … Posted by 289FIA

The Gators, just like every other major program, have worked to get better. They brought in two new OT’s via the portal and in one review (PFF Max Chadwick Article) they have the #10 rated offensive line in college football for the 2024 season:

1. Bama

2. UGA

3. LSU

4. Texas

5. Oregon

6. Ohio State

7. Missouri

8. Miami

9. Florida State

10. UF

They have a big experienced, and confident starting QB, and some WR’s that are quick. THEY view Miami as a weak ACC program that lost to MTSU and lost a bowl game to a crappy Rutgers team. Miami has a significantly different roster than was fielded against Rutgers, led by a confident Cam Ward and players on both sides of the ball that are hungry. Miami can win the game but no way it is a cakewalk. Gators are all expecting Ward to cough up the ball multiple times … I would like to see Miami win the turnover battle … early … to set the tone and quiet the Swamp.

MIAMI HURRICANES QUOTE OF THE DAY

“This defense is very physical and very aggressive. You can expect a lot of dominance. These guys are engrained with dominance and going 100% every single play. We’re never going to let down and chase after the ball.”
