CANES POSTCAST: CARSON BECK LATE TD’S LIFT MIAMI HURRICANES TO TITLE GAME w/ 31-27 W Over Ole Miss

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Alex Donno, Jim Gries Grieshaber) — Fri, 9 Jan 2026 06:00:13 +0000

Carson Beck’s 3-yard touchdown run lifted the red-hot Miami Hurricanes (#10) to a 31-27 over #6 Ole Miss in an epic CFB Semifinal game in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona.

Mario Cristobal’s ‘Canes (12-2) have won 7 straight games- the last 3 at #22 Pittsburgh, at #7 Texas A&M, vs #2 Ohio State and now #6 Ole Miss- after losing 2 of 3 to Louisville & SMU and almost missing the playoffs.

The ‘Canes will play the winner of #1 Indiana vs. #5 Oregon in the title game at home at Hard Rock Stadium. The Hoosiers and Ducks play tomorrow night in the Peach Bowl.

The Hurricanes returned to the Fiesta Bowl for the 1st time since the game was moved to State Farm Stadium in Glendale. Miami hasn’t played in the Fiesta Bowl since that fateful night in January, 2003, when Ohio State- after the worst pass interference call in football history- ended Miami’s record win-streak in double-OT in the National Championship game . That game was played at Sun Devil Stadium, as was the Hurricanes’ other excruciating title game loss to Penn State following the 1986 season.

The Hurricanes have not played for a national championship since that Ohio State game in January, 2003, and they have not won one since the year before, when they blasted Nebraska in the Rose Bowl to win their 5th national championship.

CHAOS: Big ADVANTAGE For Miami With Several Ole Miss Coaches UNCERTAIN For Fiesta Bowl!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 3 Jan 2026 10:41:01 +0000

The Ole Miss Rebels might be without several of their offensive coaches for their CFP semifinal clash with Miami!

Six Rebels assistants, including OC and QB coach Charlie Weiss Jr, have committed to work with former boss Lane Kiffin at LSU. Due to the unique college football calendar, Ole Miss is uncertain if they will have these coaches available for their Fiesta Bowl matchup against the Hurricanes. Weiss has seemingly committed to continuing with the Rebels through the playoffs, but all six have been flying back and forth to Baton Rouge, essentially working two jobs at once. Will Miami’s stability give them a major edge?

Host Alex Donno also breaks down Miami’s rushing attack. Ole Miss has struggled against the run, giving up just under 150 ground yards per game. Mark Fletcher and Miami’s rushing attack will look to set the tone and control the tempo.

Three top defensive transfers are visiting Miami this weekend. Donno breaks down top linebacker Rasheem Biles (Pitt,) nickelback Sharif Denson (Florida) and defensive end Antonio O’Berry (Gardner-Webb).

SHOCKER: Miami Hurricanes FAVORED In Unexpected Ole Miss CFP Matchup | Can Rebels’ Offense Be Stopped?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 2 Jan 2026 15:44:41 +0000

Miami and Ole Miss are the two Cinderella stories remaining in the College Football Playoff, and they are set to go HEAD TO HEAD in the semifinal round!

Miami punched their ticket thanks to a 24-14 win over defending national champion Ohio State. A night later, Ole Miss upset the Georgia Bulldogs. The Hurricanes are favored by two and a half points against the Rebels. Miami should have the advantages at the line of scrimmage and could find success behind their physical running game with Mark Fletcher Jr. It won’t be easy to stop Ole Miss’ offense, though. Quarterback Trinidad Chambliss leads a high flying attack and will provide challenges with his dual threat capabilities.

Host Alex Donno discusses the matchup and breaks down Miami’s upcoming transfer portal period. Cincinnati transfer Brendan Sorsby is being reported as Miami’s top target at quarterback. Will the Canes be able to beat out Texas Tech, LSU and others for his signature?

CANES POSTCAST: MIAMI HURRICANES DOMINATE OHIO STATE BUCKEYES 24-14, Move on to NATIONAL SEMIFINALS

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Jim GRIES Grieshaber) — Thu, 1 Jan 2026 04:48:29 +0000

Keionte Scott scored on a 72-yard pick-six, Carson Beck threw a touchdown pass and no interceptions, and 10th-ranked Miami got a late stop and a late score to finish off an impressive 24-14 pounding of defending national champion Ohio State at the Cotton Bowl in the 1st College Football Playoff quarterfinal.

The ‘Canes (12-2) have won back-to-back playoff games after barely making the 12-team field, after not even playing in the ACC championship game.

One more win and they will play for a national championship in their home stadium. First they need to win their CFP semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 8 against No. 3 Georgia or No. 6 Ole Miss, 2 SEC teams that will face off in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans tomorrow.

Ohio State (12-2) came into the game as a 9.5-point favorite, looking to win back-to-back national titles for the first time in program history.

Scott has scored on both of his interceptions this season. His interception return came right after Beck hit RB Mark Fletcher Jr. out of the backfield for a 9-yard TD.

Beck- a 2-time national champion as a backup at Georgia- completed 19 of 26 passes for 138 yards including a Cotton Bowl record 13 consecutive completions.

Fletcher, the game's offensive MVP, ran 19 times for 90 yards. Marty Brown came in on the last drive and ran for 26 yards on 5 carries, including the 5-yard TD run that put the game away late.

The Hurricanes sacked Heisman Trophy finalist Julian Sayin 5 times and picked him off twice, with Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor wreaking havoc all night and the Miami secondary more than holding its own against Ohio State’s vaunted WR corps.

Scott has scored on both of his interceptions this season. Jakobe Thomas added a late pick to seal the deal for Miami.

Sayin went 22 of 35 for 287 yards and a TD pass to star WR Jeremiah Smith, a prized recruit from Miami who chose the Buckeyes over the Hurricanes. Smith caught 7 balls for 157 yards, including a 14-yard TD on a 4th down in the 4th quarter that cut the Miami lead to 17-14.

Carter Davis kicked a 49-yard field goal for the Hurricanes, whose 24 points were the most Ohio State gave up all season.

The Hurricanes have won 6 games in a row since losing 2 out of 3 (Louisville, @SMU) and almost missing the playoffs.

QB MATCHUP: Will Carson Beck vs. Julian Sayin Be The Difference For MIAMI vs OHIO STATE?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 31 Dec 2025 19:36:43 +0000

Will Carson Beck’s experience prevail over successful young quarterback Julian Sayin?

Miami’s senior QB has a reputation for being erratic, but he’s taken care of the football well in Miami’s recent outings with just one interception in his past five games. Sayin was in contention for the Heisman Trophy, but has not faced a defensive line like Miami’s on a stage this big. Can the Hurricanes’ defense exploit his inexperience?

Other key factors like turnover margin, rushing attack, and explosive plays will also factor in. Host Alex Donno and Postcast host Jim “Gries” Grieshaber break down the matchups.

CANES POSTCAST: LATE TD + INT LIFT MIAMI HURRICANES OVER TEXAS A&M AGGIES 10-3 in CFB PLAYOFF OPENER

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Alex Donno, Jim GRIES Grieshaber) — Sat, 20 Dec 2025 21:59:11 +0000

True freshman safety Bryce Fitzgerald intercepted Marcel Reed in the end zone (his 2nd pick of the game) with less than :30 left in the game right after fellow true freshman sensation Malachi Toney scored from 11 yards out on a shovel pass from Carson Beck on the games only touchdown- lifting the 10th-ranked Miami Hurricanes to victory in their 1st ever college football playoff game, 10-3 at Texas A&M.

The Miami defense (7 sacks, 9 TFL’s) held A&M scoreless for 3 quarters while keeping the Aggies out of the end zone for the only time this season.

After Toney scored, Marcel Reed led the Aggies right down the field, and to the doorstep of tying the game with under :30 left. Miami’s Armando Blount was called for an unnecessary roughness penalty on a late hit to help the Aggies’ drive.

Toney took a shovel pass from Carson Beck into the end zone from 11 yards out with 1:44 left, capping an 86-yard drive and giving the Hurricanes the 10-3 lead.

Junior RB Mark Fletcher Jr. (176 yards on 17 carries) gained 75 of those yards on this drive- including an inspiring 56-yard ramble- in his career-best game.

Toney fumbled with just under 8:00 left as Miami was starting to move down the field, giving the Aggies the ball back.

The game was played in 74° weather, but the wind blew between 11 and 20 miles per hour, with gusts up to 30+.

Beck went 14-20 for just 103 yards and the 1 TD with no interceptions and a fumble, recovered by Fletcher for Miami.

The Aggies tied it at 3 on Randy Bond’s 35-yard field goal, with Reed going 6 for 9 on his best drive of the game.

Miami Kicker Carter Davis missed 3 field goals. Davis, who was 14-16 for Miami this season, missed from 47, 40 and 35 yards.

The 1st half ended scoreless- the 1st time this has ever happened in the history of the college football playoff. Davis missed 2 field goals, Toney was ankle tackled by the last Aggie chasing him on a long punt return, Texas A&M survived near disaster 2 times on Miami punts, and Shannon Dawson’s play-calling and Mario Cristobal’s clock management left a lot to be desired.

The Aggies also missed a FG after their 1 big pass play of the game set them up in the Miami red zone.

The Miami offense came out and put the 1st points of the game on the board at the start of the 3rd quarter, with Beck hitting big throws to CJ Daniels and Keelan Marion and Fletcher ripping off a big run. The drive stalled inside the 5, and the ‘Canes put 3 on the board to take the lead. Miami gained 72 yards on nine plays in 4:30, topping their entire 1st half offensive output.

Fitzgerald, who had started the last 3 games in place of the injured Keionte Scott, intercepted Reed on the next drive after coming into replace Zachariah Poyser, who left with an injury.

Texas A&M out-gained Miami 326-278, and Miami went 3-11 on 3rd downs.

***** 'LIVE' Instant Reaction from Host + Hurricanes' Alum Jim "GRIES" Grieshaber, featuring Alex Donno, Host of Locked On Canes.

The Hurricanes (11-2) move on to face the #1 Ohio State Buckeyes in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas at 7:30pm ET on New Year’s Eve.

"GRIES" will be here ‘LIVE’ right after the game with your CANES POSTCAST!

CANES POSTCAST: MIAMI HURRICANES MAKE FINAL PLAYOFF STATEMENT with 38-7 WIN at #22 Pitt Panthers

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Alex Donno, Jim Gries Grieshaber) — Sat, 29 Nov 2025 21:20:22 +0000

Malachi Toney caught a touchdown pass and threw another, Carson Beck tossed 3 TD’s of his own, and the 12th-ranked Miami Hurricanes dominated the #22-ranked Pittsburgh Panthers 38-7 on the road in their final statement to college football’s playoff committee for a sport in the 12-team field that will be announced next Saturday, December 7th.

Toney put up 165 total yards and the 2 scores- both in the 2nd quarter. The super-frosh hit Elijah Lofton with a perfect 9-yard throw then hauled in a pass from Beck from 22 yards out later in the quarter.

He led the Hurricanes’ receivers with 13 catches for 126 yards and added 30 rushing yards on 5 carries.

Beck went 23-29 for 267 yards, the 3 TD’s and an interception. The senior QB also hit Marty Brown with a 3rd quarter touchdown pass and CJ Daniels with another in the 4th.

After Pitt sacked Beck for a 15-yard loss to end Miami’s opening drive, the ‘Canes scored on their next 5 possessions- including 4-straight touchdowns- besides the one play they ran at end of the 1st half.

Girard Pringle Jr. led Miami’s rushing attack with 82 yards on 10 carries. Mark Fletcher Jr. added 30 yards on 10 carries including a 4-yard scoring run.

The Miami defense was stellar again- holding Pittsburgh to just 30 rushing yards (1.4 per attempt) while totaling 4 sacks and 6 tackles for a loss.

Now that they’ve done all that they can do on the field, the Hurricanes will have to sit and wait for the rest of the games to be played- including a couple that could deeply impact their playoff chances- and for the playoff committee to select the final 12 teams that will play for the national championship.

The win over Pitt gives Miami its 2nd straight 10-win season and a strong case of making the playoff over Notre Dame (ranked 9th) because of the Hurricanes’ head-to-head win over the Irish on August 31st at Hard Rock Stadium and their margins of victory against common opponents, including today’s.

CANES POSTCAST: Miami HURRICANES MAKE STATEMENT, Dominate All Phases in 41-7 BEATDOWN of NC State

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Alex Donno, Jim GRIES Grieshaber) — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 00:37:45 +0000

The Miami defense dominated from start to finish, Jakobe Thomas picked off 2 passes- taking one back 60 yards to the house, Carson Beck tossed 3 touchdown passes- 2 to freshman Malachi Toney, fellow frosh Girard Pringle Jr. ran for over 100 yards in his 1st career start, and the Miami Hurricanes played their most complete game of the season to blow out NC State 41-7 on Senior Day at Hard Rock Stadium.

How dominant were the Hurricanes?

Miami out-gained NC State 586-143, 214-23 on the ground, and keeping them scoreless until very late in the game with the reserves on the field.

NC State did not cross into Miami territory until almost the 2:00 mark of the 3rd quarter, and that was helped out by a questionable pass interference call on the Hurricanes.

Thomas’ 2 interceptions of CJ Bailey- who is from South Florida- were his 1st of the season, and they came at the perfect time them with starting CB O.J. Frédérique and all-world nickel back Keionte Scott both out with injuries.

Beck hit Toney with scoring passes from 14 yards and 15 yards and TE Elijah Lofton with another from 29 yards out, Marty Brown ran one in from a yard out, and Carter Davis hit 2 field goals for Miami.

Beck went 21-27 for 291 yards, 3 touchdowns and no interceptions- including a streak of 13 straight completions- in one of his best performances of the season.

Pringle Jr. ran for 116 yards on just 17 carries to lead the Miami rushing attack, as the offensive line pushed the NC St. defense all over the field. Beck was not sacked.

Keelan Marion led the Miami receiving corps with 7 catches for 96 yards. Toney grabbed 5 for 54 and the 2 scores, and also added a 43-yard pass to JoJo Trader.

Brown’s 1st-half fumble was the 1st lost fumble for Miami this season.

CANES POSTCAST: DEFENSE (3 takeaways + pick 6) DOMINATES, Miami Hurricanes Top Syracuse Orange 38-10

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Alex Donno, Jim GRIES Grieshaber) — Sun, 9 Nov 2025 00:42:24 +0000

The Miami defense forced 3 takeaways- including a 38-yard pick 6 by defensive back Keionte Scott for the Hurricanes’ 2nd touchdown in just :23 of the 2nd quarter, Malachi Toney hit Carson Beck with a 14-yard touchdown pass, and Mario Cristobal’s 18th-ranked ‘Canes (7-2) kept their slim College Football Playoff hopes alive with a 38-10 thrashing of the Syracuse Orange on homecoming day at Hard Rock Stadium.

Carson Beck (18-24, 261 yds, TD, no Int) hit Keelan Marion (3 red, 116 yds) on a beautiful 61 yard TD pass in the 3rd quarter, as Miami put up 31 points in the middle 2 quarters.

Girard Pringle Jr. (7 carries, 55 yds) added a 22-yard TD run in the 3rd quarter for the Hurricanes, who got off to a slow start because of dropped passes and the lack of a running game.

Francis Mauigoa ran one in from 3 yards out (on a lateral) to finish off the scoring for Miami.

Carter Davis drilled a 36-yard field goal on the last play of the 3rd quarter.

Miami was out rushed by Syracuse, and the stats were close to even, but did not commit a turnover and was called for just 5 penalties, both big improvements from recent performances.

The Miami defense (7 sacks, 10 tackles for loss) held Syracuse to 3 points on 2 consecutive trips into the red zone to finish the 1st half and start the 3rd quarter.

***** 'LIVE' Instant Reaction from University of Miami Alumni Jim "GRIES" Grieshaber and Alex Donno, host of Locked On Canes

BREAKING: CFP Committee Puts The Miami Hurricanes In PRECARIOUS Situation

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 5 Nov 2025 01:57:37 +0000

The Miami Hurricanes have debuted even lower than expected in the debut College Football Playoff rankings for 2025

The Committee has ranked Mario Cristobal’s team 18th despite an identical record and head to head win over 10th ranked Notre Dame. Host Alex Donno reveals that the Hurricanes certainly deserve to be outside the top 12, but their spot at 18 makes it incredibly difficult to have any hope of climbing into the field in early December.

The ACC is in a very tough spot with nobody ranked inside the top 12. Whoever wins the conference will get an automatic bid, but the suspicion is that the ACC will only be a one bid league.

URGENT: Hurricanes Consistently INCONSISTENT as Playoff Dreams CRUMBLE | Cristobal's NEXT STEPS

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 3 Nov 2025 16:21:54 +0000

Miami Hurricanes football faces a critical crossroads after their devastating loss to SMU drops them to #18 in the AP Poll. Can Head Coach Mario Cristobal make the necessary changes to salvage this season and restore championship expectations?

Alex Donno and Bruce "The Truth Teller" Warner deliver a brutally honest assessment of what's broken with the Hurricanes, calling for Offensive Coordinator Shannon Dawson's replacement and a complete philosophical overhaul. The discussion covers Miami's conservative play-calling that's wasting elite talent, persistent officiating issues with ACC refs, concerning team energy and leadership gaps, and the offensive line's underperformance despite massive recruiting hype. Bruce questions whether Cristobal can evolve into a championship head coach, while both hosts analyze the outlook for Miami's final four games, College Football Playoff implications, and why style points now matter more than ever for recruiting and bowl positioning.

Tune in for unfiltered analysis on what must change immediately for Miami Hurricanes football to reach its ceiling.

EXPOSED: Miami Hurricanes COLLAPSE Again in November as FATAL FLAWS Cost Another Season

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 2 Nov 2025 19:48:28 +0000

MIAMI HURRICANES suffer devastating 26-20 overtime loss to SMU, marking another November collapse. Is MARIO CRISTOBAL's $61 million buyout the only thing keeping him in Coral Gables?

ALEX DONNO breaks down the HURRICANES' crushing defeat, exposing the fatal flaws that have plagued this talented roster all season. The discussion covers MIAMI's shocking 124th national ranking in penalties per game, CARSON BECK's struggles, and the team's dismal 4-9 November record under CRISTOBAL. Key topics include the coaching philosophy that shortens games despite superior talent, offensive coordinator changes on the horizon, and why benching BECK for EMORY WILLIAMS isn't the answer yet. DONNO analyzes the paradox of an elite offensive line featuring future NFL draft picks like FRANCIS MALINOA that simultaneously leads the nation in pass protection while committing unforgivable penalties, plus what the remaining five games mean for foundational players returning next season.

Don't miss this brutally honest assessment of where MIAMI HURRICANES football stands and what realistic changes can be made moving forward.

CANES POSTCAST: PENALTIES, COACHING SINK MIAMI HURRICANES in 26-20 OT Loss @ SMU, CANES FALL TO 6-2

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber, Alex Donno) — Sat, 1 Nov 2025 20:57:08 +0000

Carson Beck threw his 2nd interception of the game on 3rd & 6 from inside the 10 yard-line in overtime, and SMU’s TJ Harden scored on a one-yard run on to cap a 25 yard-drive (all runs) to beat Miami 26-20 and all but knock the ‘Canes out of the ACC Championship race and the college football playoffs.

This was the 2nd loss in the last 3 games for Miami, once 5-0 and appearing to be destined for big things under HC Mario Cristobal.

The Hurricanes dominated SMU for most of the game- holding the Mustangs to -2 yards rushing in regulation- but they committed a season-high 12 penalties for 96 yards, Wlijah Loftin dropped a sure touchdown pass and Beck’s 1st interception came on a deep throw that was right in the hands of JoJo Trader, who juggled it into the air and into the DB’s hands.

SMU kicker Sam Keltner’s tied the game at 20 with a 38-yard field goal with :25 left in regulation after an extremely questionable penalty was called on Miami’s backup Defensive End Marquise Lightfoot. Lightfoot was whistled for an unnecessary roughness penalty on his hit on quarterback Kevin Jennings- after Miami called a timeout and the play was blown dead- to give the Mustangs a 1st down when they were facing 4th & 9 with just 1:08 left in regulation.

Keltner had just barely missed his previous attempt from 43 yards in the Mustangs’ previous drive when the ball sailed just outside the right upright.

After the game-tying kick, Mario Cristobal chose to have Beck take a knee at the end of regulation with 25 seconds left and one timeout left on their own 25 yard-line.

Miami was only up 10-7 at halftime even though they dominated the 1st half, holding SMU to -6 rushing yards and 121 total yards. (93 on 3 big plays) But the Hurricanes committed a season-high 8 penalties for 60 yards in the 1st half, (most on offense) Elijah Loftin dropped the easy TD pass and Beck’s interception- which led to SMU’s only 1st half TD- was juggled then dropped by Trader.

The ‘Canes retook the lead 17-14 in the 3rd quarter after falling behind 14-10 on SMU’s touchdown on their opening drive of the 2nd half.

SMU Outscored Miami 19-10 in the 2nd half & overtime. The Mustangs ran the ball on every play on their game-winning 25-yard drive to finish the game with 23 yards rushing.

The Hurricanes had the ball for 15:00 more time of possession than the Mustangs.

The ‘Canes will probably drop down into the 20’s in the rankings, but this loss all but eliminates them from the playoffs and even worse, the ACC Championship, which (somehow) Miami has still yet to win.

Beck finished 26-38 for 224 yards and touchdown passes to Trader- filling in for the injured CJ Daniels- and Alex Bauman, plus the 2 interceptions.

Mark Fletcher Jr. ran for 84 yards on 16 carries to lead the Miami rushing attack, which finished with 159 yards on 40 carries, but couldn’t finish off the Mustangs in the 2nd half, largely because of bad penalties committed by the Miami offense.

Trader (5 catches, 81 yards, TD) Keelan Marion (5-77) and Malachi Toney (9-70) led the Miami receiving corps.

Miami Hurricanes Re-discovered Their IDENTITY In 42-7 Win Over Stanford | But Can They Sustain?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 02:17:46 +0000

The Miami Hurricanes established a dominant ground game and defense once again in their 42-7 blowout win over the Stanford Cardinal.

The Hurricanes rushed for 199 yards behind a great game from Mark Fletcher Jr. Fletcher found the end zone three times in the win. Miami’s defense clamped down. After giving up a 74 yard touchdown drive to open the game, the Canes only surrendered 70 more yards for the entire contest.

Carson Beck and the offense had a slow start but settled in during the second half. Beck didn’t take many shots downfield but he managed to stay interception free. Host Alex Donno and guest Melissa “Hoodie Girl” Brown broke down the win but wonder if the Hurricanes can keep it rolling against better opposition.

Miami dropped a spot from 9th to 10th in the AP Top 25 despite the victory.

CANES POSTCAST: Miami HURRICANES DOMINATE 2nd HALF in 42-7 WIN OVER STANFORD Cardinal

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Jim GRIES Grieshaber) — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 02:40:42 +0000

Mark Fletcher Jr. ran for over a hundred yards and scored a career-high 3 touchdowns, the Miami defense held Stanford to just 70 yards of offense after the Cardinal’s touchdown drive on their opening possession, HC Mario Cristobal’s team cut way back in the penalties and did not turn the ball over, as the 9th-ranked Hurricanes (6-1, 2-1 ACC) scored on 6 of their last 7 possessions to get back in the win column after last week’s loss against Louisville in a 42-7 blowout at Hard Rock Stadium.

Carson Beck bounced back from his 1st career 4-interception game, going 21-28 with a TD pass and no interceptions.

Jordan Lyle and Girard Pringle Jr. also ran for

Touchdowns for Miami, as the ‘Canes got back to running the ball after 6 straight quarters of not moving the ball- or the chains- on their ground.

Freshman phenom Malachi Toney put up 138 all-purpose yards- 73 of them on punt returns- to continue his all-world 1st season for Miami.

But the biggest story of this game was the Miami defense, which smothered Stanford all night after the opening TD.

Wesley Bissainthe’s interception and 32-yard return in the 3rd quarter gave Miami a 1st and goal at the 3-yard line, and Xavier Lucas’ pick on the very next Stanford possession gave the Canes the ball deep in Stanford territory.

Fletcher scored after both, and the route was on.

Lucas added a sack and 3 tackles- 1 for a loss.

The Hurricanes did turn the ball over on downs 2x and missed a 44-yard field goal on their opening drive, the 1st miss of the season by Carter Davis.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 15:49:19 +0000

The Miami Hurricanes might be without their sack leader for the game against the Stanford Cardinal.

Akheem Mesidor, who leads Miami with 3.5 sacks, has been added to the injury report as QUESTIONABLE. The Hurricanes face Stanford for the first time in program history. Stanford comes off a home upset victory over Florida State.

Host Alex Donno and “Postcast” host Jim Grieshaber break down the keys to the game and make their score predictions. The Hurricanes must protect the football, cut down the penalties, improve their tackling, and eliminate their turnovers. Will Carson Beck have a bounce back performance?
