Beck, of course, is not the only hurricane wishing to get on the ground and to face the Gators (1-2).
Defensive line Rueben Bain Jr. is from Miami with deep ties with the Hurricanes program.
Last August, he took the field at the Ben Hill Griffin stadium when Miami went to Gainesville for his first game of the season against the Gators. But Bain was injured on the opening of the match and, unfortunately, was unable to provide much more than encouragement and support for his teammates during the Miami 41-17 victory.
Now in good health, Bain has become one of Miami’s defense leaders. It has a top of 15 plated, 2.5 plated for loss, 1.5 bags, interception and a forced escape.
And as the rest of his Miami teammates, he was looking forward to the last episode of the Miami-Florida rivalry.
“It was very frustrating,” said Bath, to injure himself and have to miss most of the game last season against the Gators. “But last year was last year. We just focused on this year and I’m super excited to have the chance to go there and play football again. Very healthy, just play the football brand I want to play. This is an incredible opportunity. I can do something again for another week.”
The Hurricanes know that although there is a lot of excitement for the match on Saturday – ESPN College Gameday and ACC Huddle will present the confrontation of the rivalry – their opponent poses a unique challenge.
Florida enters the match after consecutive defeats against the USF and the LSU. The Gators abandoned the national ranking and the quarter-Arrière DJ Lagway had one of the worst outings of his career by launching five interceptions against Tigers last week in Baton Rouge.
But the players and coaches of Miami know the kind of talent that Florida has on its list and they understand very well that the Gators would like nothing more than coming to the Hard Rock stadium and to upset the hurricanes in order to hand over their season.
“The part that must be the most respected is their level of talent, their coaching, their size, their speed, their physique,” said Miami head coach Mario Cristobal. “Schematically, they are very difficult for many different ways. They played Elite Defense for several games, [going] Back in last season and offensively, they were very close to several times to have great performance. It is very clear that it is an extremely talented team, they are well trained, they play hard, and for us, it is an excellent opportunity. “”
Addition of Hurricanes Mark Mark Fletcher Jr.: “Last year it was fun to do that. It was fun. But I’m almost sure these guys come here to play football. It is a very well trained team. These guys fly. [They’re] Extremely talented on both sides of football. So we just have to be on our game A and we are ready for the challenge. »»
