Not all Week 1 matchups in college football are created equal. Some teams get the benefit of starting the season with lower-level, out-of-conference “cupcake” opponents to ease into the new season. The Florida Gators (0-1) weren’t afforded such luxury for their season opener this year. The Gators hosted longtime, though rarely faced, rival Miami Hurricanes […]

The Miami football team started off their 2024 season with a bang on Saturday as they went on the road and convincingly beat rival Florida.
