The 10th ranked Miami Hurricanes and sixth-ranked Wisconsin Badgers, combatants in Saturday’s Capital One Orange Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium, do not have any common on field opponents this season. But there was one off the field: Hurricane Irma.
While the Hurricanes (10-2) canceled their game at Arkansas State on Sept. 9 because of the Category 5 storm and moved their team practices to Orlando the following week before facing Toledo on Sept. 23 at home, Wisconsin opened its doors to FAU and housed the Owls for six days, allowing them to use their facilities after beating them 31-14 at Camp Randall Stadium on Sept.
