New coach, same-old Miami.
Miami brought Mario Cristobal home from Oregon to vault the Hurricanes back into an upper-tier program in the national landscape. Getting embarrassed at home by 25.5-point underdog Middle Tennessee was not part of that plan.
On the heels of a road loss to Texas A&M, Miami came out completely flat and got punked by Middle Tennessee, 45-31. This is a Middle Tennessee team that lost 44-7 to James Madison a few weeks ago, yet the Blue Raiders were able to come in and continually decimate the Miami secondary with deep balls.
Chase Cunningham threw touchdown passes of 71, 69 and 98 yards in the win.
