Through the Smoke: A Miami Hurricanes football podcast

The New Miami is off to a rough start. For the first time in a while it was the defense that didn't play good enough to win a game as the Hurricanes failed to contain UNC's Sam Howell in a 28-25 loss to the Tar Heels. Andrew Ivins and David Lake have some initial takeaways from the game and try to break down what went wrong for Manny Diaz's squad. Is Bubba Baxa the one to blame?

Miami opens up ACC play Saturday in Chapel Hill. Andrew Ivins and David Lake get you ready for the game as Manny Diaz and the Hurricanes look to take down Mack Brown and the Tar Heels.

On top of that we discuss a potential change that Miami might be making along the offensive line after the unit's poor performance against Florida in Week 0.

Miami opened the season with a 24-20 loss to Florida in Week 0. Andrew Ivins and David Lake revisit the game and provide some final thoughts before turning the page towards North Carolina and the rest of the season. Does Jarren Williams have a chance to be better than Brad Kaaya? Can the Hurricanes make it to Charlotte? We break it all down while also discussing the latest on a pair of key recruiting targets for Manny Diaz.

Miami was a few plays away from pulling off the upset. Andrew Ivins and David Lake breakdown what went right and what went wrong for the Hurricanes in Week 0. Does UM finally have a quarterback? It seems like the future is bright for Jarren Williams. The offensive line on the other hand remains a work in progress.

Week 0 is basically here. Andrew Ivins and David Lake breakdown the matchup between Miami and Florida and take a look at what it will take for the Hurricanes to walk out of Orlando with a win.

It's game week which means that Manny Diaz has released his first depth chart and there were a few surprised. Andrew Ivins and David Lake share their thoughts on the two-deep before discussing Tate Martell’s potential move to wide receiver after losing out on the quarterback battle. The two also hand out some preseason player superlatives while also hitting on some recruiting notes after a busy weekend of high school football.

It's looking more and more like Gurvan Hall and Amari Carter will start at safety for the Hurricanes against Florida following the news late Tuesday night that Derrick Smith is leaving the program.

Manny Diaz has named Jarren Williams the team's starting quarterback in advance of the season opener against Florida. Andrew Ivins and David Lake react to the news and take a look at how Williams beat out both Tate Martell and N'Kosi Perry.
