Preview
Following a disappointing 33-17 opening weekend loss against then-ranked No. 25 LSU, Miami was able to bounce back in a big way with a 77-0 shellacking of Savannah State to get back on track, kind of. The 77-point margin of victory was the largest in program history, although it won’t mean much if the Hurricanes follow that up with a disappointment on the road.
The Hurricanes welcome the challenge of another non-conference opponent in Toledo.
Malik Rosier will play a large role as the Hurricanes prepare for another tough road test. The senior completed right of his 12 passes for 131 yards and two touchdowns, while adding a one-yard touchdown run on the ground before being pulled early last week.
Freshman N’Kosi Perry came on in relief, getting his first taste of live game action. Perry finished 9-for-14 with 93 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
Miami head coach Mark Richt expects Toledo to be well rested. The Rockets didn’t play last week, which allowed them an extra week of game tape to prepare for the Hurricanes. The Hurricanes’ defense will likely have to prepare for both quarterbacks, junior Mitchell Guadagni (11-for-16, 265 yards, three touchdowns) and sophomore Eli Peters (8-for-13, 73 yards), with Guadagni getting a majority of the snaps.
Rockets head coach Jason Candle understands the magnitude of a game like this for his team and program, and hs is ready for the challenge.
“The game’s not just another game. Any time you hear that I think that’s coach speak. Your preparation has to be that it’s just another game and what the details of that looks like. We’re not going to sacrifice who we are Monday through Friday whether we’re playing the Dallas Cowboys or Ottawa Hill High School.”
The Hurricanes are in the lull of their schedule, so with Florida International looming next week, the Hurricanes will have to stay extra sharp throughout the rest of September.
