The Miami Hurricanes season opener against the Tigers is their first one versus a team from a Power Five Conference since they lost 31-13 at Louisville in 2014. That was the Cardinals ACC debut.
This is also the Miami Hurricanes first non-conference game against a team from a Power Five Conference since they defeated Nebraska 36-33 at home in 2015. Miami will play Florida in Orlando in 2019 and at Michigan State in 2020.
Preparing for a team of LSU’s quality can be difficult in the season opener. The Tigers have a new Offensive Coordinator.
