You know the phrase that a zebra can never change its stripes? No phrase might be a better explanation of how the Miami Hurricanes played in their 24-20 loss to 8th-ranked Florida Gators in Week 0.
In the game, the same critical mistakes and errors that plagued the 2018 season hurt the 2019 Hurricanes, and forced them to lose a game that the Hurricanes should have won.
Up three in the second half, Jeff Thomas’ muffed punt within their 10 yard line allowed the Gators to take the lead.
Then, a Bubba Baxa missed field goal prevented the Hurricanes from going up six points.
