The Miami Hurricanes are facing their first real challenge of the 2026 season in a Friday night road trip to Winston-Salem to take on Wake Forest.

Storm Cellar: All-22 Review of MIAMI HURRICANES O-Line vs. FAMU Rattlers
The Miami Hurricanes had a much improved game along the offensive line in the run game and it wasn’t just the talent drop across the field.

ACC Rooting Guide: Week 2
The Atlantic Coast Conference lost both its big matchups against Southeastern Conference teams in Week 1: Clemson got smoked at LSU and Louisville came up just short against Ole Miss in Nashville.
