ESPN College GameDay analyst Kirk Herbstreit has picked Miami Hurricanes football as a “Darkhorse team” for the 2021 College Football Playoff earlier this week, given their talent infusions.
As one of ESPN’s lead college football analysts, the former Ohio State quarterback had cited that Miami having a versatile quarterback in graduate transfer D’Eriq King will potentially pay dividends. The team finished 120th in rushing yards and last in third down conversion percentage amongst the 130 FBS teams in 2019, something that could change.
“Everyone’s talking about Notre Dame coming in and of course Clemson,” Herbstreit said on the season’s first College GameDay Saturday.
