FIU heads into Saturday’s game with Miami fresh off of a 63-24 drubbing of UMass.
However, the level of competition takes a major leap with the Hurricanes. I spoke with State of the U’s managing editor Cam Underwood to get his thoughts on the game.
1. What are your thoughts on the Hurricane defense after three games?
The Hurricane defense are the calling card of this team. There are multiple NFL caliber players at each level of the defense, and they are coming together to play at a very high level.
Players like DT Gerald Willis III, DEs Jonathan Garvin and Joe Jackson, LBs Shaq Quarterman and Mike Pinckney, and S Jaquan Johnson have been key players for Miami through through the first quarter of the season.
