Miami Players To Watch:
Offense: Running Back – Damien Martinez – Junior
Martinez will look to attack a Louisville defense that ranks eighth in the ACC against the run, and to this point, he averages 58.4 yards per game, he will look to rush for more than his average against this defense and keep the undefeated season still alive for the Hurricanes.
Defense: Defensive Back – Daryl Porter Jr. – Senior
Porter Jr. this season has seven total tackles and two pass deflections. He’s going to look to force Tyler Shough into a bad decision and get the ball back for his offense.
Bottom Line: Miami Looks Keep Rolling
This was a game that the Hurricanes speculated to be a tough one back when Louisville was ranked but following back-to-back losses, they lost that ranking, the schedule is tough with three teams coming up having five wins. The Hurricanes have a real shot at an ACC Championship, and they’ll look to keep that momentum rolling this weekend. Louisville can show up but look for the Hurricanes offense to put a stamp on this one early.
