Bethune-Cookman vs Miami Preview

Miami look get off to a strong start on Saturday against Bethune-Cookman.

The Hurricanes begin the Mario Cristobal area. A former Hurricanes star, Cristobal took over the program this offseason, and he looks to restore the Miami program as one of the better ones in the nation.

“This means the world to me,” Cristobal said via 247 Sports. “That is the best way I can describe it. When you play at a certain place, it is different. I think there is eight to nine head coaches in division one football that are coaching at their alma maters…It is off the charts, super special, but unfortunately for the nostalgia side of it, all my focus is on my team and the process.”

Miami regularly contended for national titles in the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s before falling into mediocrity. Cristobal won two titles with the Hurricanes in 1989 and 1991.

Bethune-Cookman looks to improve from a 2-9 season. Wildcats head coach Terry Sims wants his team to for move forward from that.

“We had a setback last year after having not been together as a team for 20 months,” Sims told the Miami Herlad about last season and the cancelled 2020 season because of COVID-19. “No workouts, no meetings, no practices, no nothing.”

“This year, we have grown closer as a team. We’re going to be an aggressive, attacking football team,” Sims added.

Miami Key Players

Hurricanes quarterback Tyler Van Dyke could make a run at the Heisman Trophy this season. Van Dyke gets the tradition of Miami in trying to lead the Hurricanes back to prominence.

“I mean, this is a special place,” Van Dyke said via The Associated Press. “You see all these names out there. And the history that this place comes with, it’s unbelievable. Those guys want to bring the program back to what it used to be. That’s why those guys are so driven to come back here and build it back.”

Bethune-Cookman Key Players

Bethune-Cookman running back Que’shaun Byrd has excellent speed.

Wildcats tight end Kemari Averett has height at 6-foot-7 and can make big catches.
