The University of Miami football team faced adversity for the first time this season against the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles at Hard Rock Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
As UM trailed 7-3 in the second quarter, fans rained down boos after a 36-yard completion gave the Golden Eagles a chance to go up by two possessions.
However, Miami’s defense got a stop and the fifteenth-ranked ‘Canes caught fire in the second half, outscoring Southern Miss by 20 points in the game’s final 30 minutes to secure a 30-7 victory.
“When you’re 1-0 for the week, that’s your goal,” head coach Mario Cristobal said.
