Miami took care of business in dominant fashion against FAMU, and now the Hurricanes turn their attention to their next test: Wake Forest on the road.
On this episode of 26 Degrees, we look back at Miami’s 77–7 win over FAMU, what we learned from the Hurricanes’ record-setting offensive performance, the continued strong play of Darian Mensah, and the emergence of Miami’s running game and young talent.
Then we dive into Friday night’s matchup with Wake Forest. We break down Gio Lopez and the Demon Deacons offense, Jake Dickert’s coaching staff, the challenges facing Miami’s injury-depleted secondary, and the biggest matchups that could determine the game.

September 09 190: Rattlesnake Roundup
Miami made a statement in Week 1.
The Hurricanes went across the country and dismantled Stanford 45–6, and there was plenty to like — starting with Darian Mensah’s spectacular Miami debut and Malachi Toney’s record-breaking night.
On this episode of 26 Degrees, we break down what impressed us most about the Canes, what concerns might be hiding underneath the lopsided final score, and what Miami still needs to improve as the season progresses.
We discuss Mensah and Toney, the running game, Miami’s pass rush, the impact of OJ Frederique’s injury, and which players need to step up in the secondary.
Then we preview Thursday night’s matchup with FAMU, lay out our checklist for what we want to see from the Hurricanes, take a look around the ACC, and give our predictions.
Miami is 1–0. The expectations are high. Now it’s time to find out just how good this team can be.
