The Rundown
Despite a tough Week 3, the Miami Hurricanes are still right in the thick of it. They're still in the AP Top 25 and still haven't begun conference play yet. It's really all on the table for the Canes, but they'll need to get back on track in this one at home.
MTSU comes to Hard Rock Stadium for the first time holding a 2-0 advantage in the series over Miami. Both of those games were in the 1930's, but it's always good to get one in the win column, no matter who the rival is.
The Hurricanes will be looking to pump up their numbers on offense after not scoring a single touchdown against the Aggies last week, so expect QB Tyler Van Dyke to throw some strikes against the Blue Raiders.
Just who catches those passes is a bit up in the air at the moment. Miami's missing two of their top receivers, Xavier Restrepo and Jacolby George, which means that some younger receivers are going to have to step up.
The Canes don't have a game next weekend and then they'll open up their ACC schedule in Week 6 against the North Carolina Tar Heels. It's vital that Miami wins convincingly, if only to give them momentum for the next couple of weeks.
