Miami Hurricanes vs. Syracuse Orange: Game Preview

After a challenging October, the 18th-ranked Miami Hurricanes (6-2) are set to host the Syracuse Orange (3-6) at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens for their homecoming game.

Miami is looking for a rejuvenation after their recent overtime loss to SMU, while Syracuse aims to end their struggles in South Florida and disrupt Miami’s momentum.

The differences between the teams are obvious. Miami boasts a strong defense, placing in the top 15 for yards allowed and having a solid third-down conversion rate. On the flip side, Syracuse is dealing with a quarterback crisis due to Steve Angeli’s season-ending Achilles injury.
