Duke Football is set to travel down to South Beach to take on the Miami Hurricanes who have been struggling but are still a dangerous team.

A season that had College Football Playoff aspirations has been thrown out the window for the Miami Hurricanes and they are now looking to salvage a season that was all wrong from step one.

The Hurricanes entered the season ranked No. 8 and they played No. 25 LSU from Jerry’s World in Week 1.

The Tigers rolled over the ‘Canes and it has been all downhill since for the reigning ACC Costal Division Champions.

Despite losing to LSU and a few quarterback changes, the Hurricanes managed to win five straight games but are now in the midst of a two game losing streak after falling on the road to Virginia and Boston College.

Mailk Rosier is once again the quarterback of Miami after the team went to N’Kois Perry for a few games after Rosier struggled mightily.

Rosier has completed 52.3% of his passes this season for 931 yards, while throwing six touchdowns and five interceptions while Perry completed 56.2% of his passes for 666 yards and 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.

The Hurricanes backfield is led by Travis Homer who has carried the football 105 times for 569 and a touchdown while Deejay Dallas has rushed 77 times for 423 yards and three touchdowns.

Rosier is also a threat to keep the football and run himself as he has taken off 46 times for 178 yards and six touchdowns.

The Hurricanes also have many receivers that can hurt you with six players with over 100 yards but the leaders are Jeff Thomas who has 21 catches for 432 yards and three touchdowns, Lawrence Cager with 16 receptions for 272 yards and six touchdowns while Brevin Jordan has 26 catches for 244 yards and four touchdowns.

To go along with an offense that can put up points in a hurry, the Hurricanes defense can turn over opposing offense very quickly and once the turnover chain gets brought out, the Miami home crowd goes wild.
