For Hurricanes fans already looking ahead, a suggestion: plan on plenty of sunscreen for Week One.
Miami will open its season at home against Bethune-Cookman on Sept. 2, and the Atlantic Coast Conference announced Wednesday that game is set to kick off at 12:30 p.m.
The game will be televised via the conference’s regional network, RSN.
It will mark the first time since 2012 at Boston College that the Hurricanes will open a new season with an afternoon game. All four of Miami’s openers since have been in the evening.
