The University of Miami released its 2018 football schedule Wednesday, highlighted by a nationally televised, season-opening matchup with LSU, as well as six home games at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Hurricanes kick off the 2018 season on Sunday, Sept. 2, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, against the Tigers in the 2018 AdvoCare Classic – UM's first meeting with LSU since the 2005 Peach Bowl and the first regular season meeting between the two schools since 1988. The game will be televised on ABC at 7:30 p.m. ET. Miami's last visit to the Dallas area was its 1991 Cotton Bowl win over Texas.
Miami's home schedule includes non-conference games against FIU and Savannah State, as well as games against ACC rivals Duke, Florida State, North Carolina and Pittsburgh. The Hurricanes posted a 7-0 regular season mark at Hard Rock Stadium in 2017.
Miami enters the 2018 campaign following a strong 2017 season in which the Hurricanes posted a 10-3 record – UM's first 10-win season since 2003 – and won the ACC Coastal Division title for the first time in school history. Head coach Mark Richt was named ACC Coach of the Year and Walter Camp National Coach of the Year.
Tough, tough news about Malek.

If we get Briggs and if he comes in at 250 to 260, if u need to play him he might as well start out at DE, otherwise he won’t have the weight to play DT until 2019, so RS him.

Former player. Now a sports talk show host (Cali I think). He did the wqam hurricanes post game Show back in golden’s first couple years. He was fired for talking about how insanely stupid the D was and saying Al wouidnt succeed.
He’s got the bona fides, but on recruiting I wouldn’t put any more weight to his words than any other peripheral character.

It may be easier said than done, but it must be done, even if it means bringing in DEs like Briggs and moving them over. We have to have 2 per class on the roster. Sometimes that will mean we need 3 in a cycle. Because DT is tough in SoFL, we have to be keeping a player in our pocket for the following cycle, I think it will give us leverage in getting kids to sign on the early signing day.

Posted by: Herbieibis | January 20, 2018 at 09:53 AM
Dont get me wrong, but our program has done JACKSH*T for what 15 years? We are still patching holes here, not just with recruits, but it looks like with coaches too. Unfortunately we have no one that can play 1 tech with Ford, so if a 6'3" 310 pounder came from the moon to help out, we have to take him. As I have been saying though, depth is built from the bottom up and we need a reputation of having our sh*t together for a few years first. Storm18 is only the beginning imo. We need years of this to compete for the ACC & the Coastal year in and out. I want to see how the 18 kids are managed because that will tell me if these guys understand how depth is built, or if we are just gonna keep patching holes.
Posted by: His Royal Dudeness | January 20, 2018 at 11:55 AM
P.S. Briggs is listed as a DE.
If he is actually a DT, getting him would give us two 4 star DTs.
Posted by: Go Canes!! | January 20, 2018 at 11:53 AM
TD having a 2 and 4 year old totaly changes things. Definitely not the kind of experience they'd enjoy at that age.
Posted by: Go Canes!! | January 20, 2018 at 11:50 AM
There is one 5 Star and 33 4 Star DTs on the ESPN 300.
That's it.
Ohio State got three, Bama, Clemson and Tennesee got two (their two are both from Tennessee). Scanned a little bit and didnt even see us offering a lot of the "3 Star" guys which makes me wonder if we even thing a lot of them can even play.
We got the only one defensive tackle south of Lake Okeechobee and he's a Top guy at this position. DT has never been a strongsuit for south Florida. We don't have had a lot of down here.
This thing about stacking guys at that position is way easier said than done.
So calling a guy a stiff who's experienced and produced similar numbers to Norton last year is kind of a head scratcher.

I was thinking drive down to Vegas for the night. Then come through San Bernardino because the wife has family there. Then my family has 2 time shares, 1 in Carlsbad on the beach, the other at Lawrence Welk Resort. I did that LA thing once before when I was about 16, unfortunately it was because I was there for a funeral. I'll have a 2 & 4 year old with me so driving for pleasure, and sights like that will be hard to get them to appreciate.

You take a grad transfer when u don’t have a better option, so don’t see how u have a problem w it. Colbert was an important piece for the year he was here, and even recruited for us. I’ll take a Colbert every time.

the ILLINI kid has the the "Cane Fire" don't know if you saw his ejection or not, but the kid has it lol...
Funny his Ejection showed it but he has it and it just needs to be CANE'd..
Posted by: RCCF | January 20, 2018 at 11:11 AM
Great we get some stiff from the Illini. When we have to start reaching for grad transfers to fill needs, it means we ain’t recruiting the position hard enough and don’t have stacked in order to absorb early departures. Don’tget The Herb wrong, it’s better than nothing but would rather have a kid 3 to 5 years instead of a one and done. Colbert and Delaney both got hurt and missed several games in the one year they were here. Go get a Jucco, who at least will be here two years.
We should have 8 to 10 ships left. Unless I missed someone, I counted 74 players with ships.

"Broward"
Posted by: CoCane | January 19, 2018 at 11:50 PM
Yeah I live in Browsed. There is more smoke around Surtain coming then Campbell. At the end of the day, no one knows. I'll just wait until they sign...
Posted by: CoCane | January 19, 2018 at 11:49 PM
CIS:
When Pete said we have a better chance with Surtain than Campbell, my initial thought was that Pete is emphasizing how little of a chance we have with Campbell. Not that we have a good chance with Surtain. Its like saying we had a better chance of hitting the lottery than getting the model. After Sileo Jr posted his update, I thought there must be some smoke here. So maybe I took Pete's info incorrectly. When I took a look at Surtain’s timeline on 247. You're right. His actions tell a different story than the one I believed to be true.
Starting in October, Rumph visited Surtain and 2 weeks later, he named LSU his leader. A week after that (November 4th), Surtain Sr was in the stands for the VT blowout, and left with plenty of positive things to say about Miami. A week after that game (November 11th), Surtain Jr was in the stands watching us destroy Notre Dame. The day before the ACC Championship game, 2 coaches from Bama visited. The day after the championship game, he got a visit from Diaz, Banda, Rumph, and Kuligowski. Two and a half weeks later, the supposed LSU lock didn't sign early. A week after that, he was at Miami (without Silvera, Chatfield or Campbell), watching our Orange Bowl practice. Two weeks later, he used his first official visit on LSU. Didn’t commit. Three days later, he was back at Miami.
Combine the increase in communication with some of the other rumors… his dad trusting Richt most, his mom wanting him to stay home, his close friendship with Chatfield and the Surtain’s not being sold on coach O. If/when he visits us (or vice versa) after his Bama visit, it’ll be pretty damn difficult to deny he has legitimate interest in Miami.

Ice Harris did a better job of getting kids from the HS He coached at than Rumph.
If you can't get kids you used to coach from pip squeaks, whatever, but to use that "Miami mindset" bull$h!t because you can't seal the deal is a cop-out.

Campbell & Surtain are Miami guys, period. If Rumph doesnt sign them, he will catch heat, how much of it he deserves I dont know. All of this Rumph business resolves itself if the Canes keep winning and Rumph produces draft picks. Jackson will get drafted, Young might get drafted... if Bandy is a high 2nd rounder and Frierson a 1st, he can have the ball rolling on 5* local kids. That said, Im not counting Surtain or Campbell out yet. We shall see.

Not enough for bad coaches to win it. We need a lot more it seems. We grab 2 or 3 key injuries and its just a bunch of nothing. Keep the rosters young and full of Johnny 4*s and Redshirt kids. Our OL is a mess, but this class will address the interior in a couple of years. Still need to address tackles.

Of course, Kaaya had more weapons in Njoku, Richards and Walton, but the statistical differences between the two QBs is actually startling.
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | January 19, 2018 at 02:41 PM
I hate to add anything to this Kaaya v. Rosier debate, but I went to look up the stats in CFBSTATS.COM, and found some interesting stats on Rosier and Kaaya as passers:
Rosier - 2017
54%
3120 yards
131.05 passer rating
26 TDs
14 Ints.
Rosier 468 yards rushing and 5 rushing TDS, at 3.57 YPR.
Stats against power 5 conference teams and winning teams were much, much worse for Rosier.
Kaaya - 2016
62%
3532 yards
150.31 passer rating
27 TDs
7 Ints.
Stats against power 5 conference teams and winning teams were actually much better.

I think so. Kayaa was like David Carr in his last year here, meekly accepting if not anticipating the sack. Rozier’s scrambling ability at least prolonged plays. It would be interesting to see how many yards Kayaa gave up on sacks vs Rozier.
Regardless, this must get fixed.

Posted by: His Royal Dudeness | January 19, 2018 at 12:49 PM
DT Tito Odenigbo - according to Illinois team website, 6-3, 310. He can play immediately. Illinois was 2-10 on the year, though. During the 2017 season, Odenigbo totaled 29 tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss (which ranked tied for second on the team), one sack and two pass breakups. During his career, Odenigbo started five games and totaled 47 tackles and 8.5 tackles for loss. Originally from Ohio, he was a three-star recruit as a DE by ESPN.com, Rivals, Scout and 247Sports
For comparison, Norton, 6-3 and 312 pounds, had 26 tackles, with 6 1/2 tackles for loss, two sacks and a breakup and quarterback hurry.
Posted by: BigWindyCane1 | January 19, 2018 at 12:47 PM
With Tito acting as the JC player we needed, the young DTs can slow cook.
1. *SR Willis
2. SO Ford
3. JR Bethel
4. SR Tito
5. *SO Martin
6. FR Nesta
7. FR Briggs
8. FR Chatman
If Chatman or Briggs redshirt that gives us a talented DT in our back pocket for a really good 2019 DT class. Weve got 1 committed already, we just need to focus our energy on signing him early and getting 1 more.

Davis was bottled up, but it is clear that he is a very talented RB. He is a very intriguing player, and a very natural RB. I am curious to see how he develops once practice starts and he gets Brown's coaching.
If Homer, Dallas and Lingard aren't careful, Davis will sneak up on them. Competition at this RB position will make the Canes running game a lot more productive next season.

Lol, I was just watching that on YT Rock.

We back?:
"In his last game in Champaign — Saturday’s 42-7 loss to Northwestern — he was ejected for throwing a flag at an official."

Tito is 6'3" 300. Fatten this cow up and maybe we got another NT... finally.

Wrong. I said to ensure it every year. Thats what we need so we never slip back down again. We win the Coastal 1 time in 11 years and think we can do it every year now? Lol, we only have 1 nose tackle and a handful of OTs. If our starting QB gets hurt can we win the Coastal? No, we need 2 to 3 more classes like Storm18.

I thought this was cool. Cam Davis will wear #21 to honor his high school teammate Randy Russell.

We beat all those teams this year and there’s no reason we shouldn’t next year as well.
Remember future games against FSU, Louisville and Clemson count against us in the standings even though they aren’t in our division.

3 more classes like Storm18 to stay on top of VA Tech, GA Tech, and UNC... we hired the wrong staff
Posted by: WWIN | January 19, 2018 at 09:35 AM
This is true. If Richt needs that much talent to beat the coastal we in trouble

^^^^^^^^^
These do not tie in together... we didn't have the same O-line for both years, didn't lose as many players to injuries.
Could just mean that Kaaya would have been sacked 30 times if he was here?
Posted by: WWIN | January 19, 2018 at 09:30 AM
Rosier runs around before being sacked. Kaaya just crumpled. Malik was able to avoid sacks and Brad couldn’t. Screwed with perceptions. My best guess. IMO when 3rd & 3 or less is legit running down is when we’ll have a “good enough” OL - not a great one but good enough. That hasn’t been the case in too long.
Posted by: DallasTX Cane | January 19, 2018 at 09:26 AM
This is a crazy stat that threw me for a loop. Brad Kaaya was sacked 25 times in 2016. Malik Rosier was sacked 27 times in 2017.
Posted by: Terrance Sullivan | January 18, 2018 at 06:08 PM
How is that possible? I was for for sure we took take less sacks with a mobile qb?
Posted by: 30CINCO | January 19, 2018 at 08:24 AM
Go Canes,
Read my last post and answer it this time...
Posted by: CoCane | January 18, 2018 at 01:42 PM
Don’t follow UGA football but I guess Chubb best out Michel, which then asks the question do I think Lo is better than Sony.
And if Moreno and Gurley beat out two guys we’ve never heard of then were they just handed the job?
None of us know the answer to that, at least I don’t.
That’s why I said in the big picture the precedent of three straight freshmen going wild under CMR shows it’s very possible if not likely Lingard’s going to carry a giant load this year.
Posted by: Go Canes!! | January 19, 2018 at 08:02 AM
We need 2 or 3 more classes as good as Storm18 just to ensure the Coastal every year. Id be a bit more optimistic if we sign the AH4, Briggs, another DT, an OT, Peters, another OT.
Honestly I hope we dont get any more offensive players unless they are tackles, but it lools like we are coming away empty there. Goss is off the board and NPF isnt realistic so far as Ive seen. Ezzard, while I like the kid is not a need and next year we recruit in Miami again, you know, WRsRus.
If we cant get the OTs we need, I think we should go all DL and grab some of those high potential 3* kids that can redshirt.

Im not worried because it doesnt matter. We arent winning a title next year. We dont have the OL for it, we dont have the DTs for it yet, depth is an issue, we wont be able to beat Clemson yet imo. Natty isnt even on my mind. Just get better and perfect the rep.

Wisconsin had ONE loss in their CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME... Alabama had ONE regular season loss and didn't make it to their conference championship game. So who went? The team with the better strength of schedule.
So... we'll have to run the table and can't afford to lose one... and if CMR sticks to his tradition of losing at least one game a year we'll be Wisconsin

Had we beaten Pitt, we would have been number 1 having beaten Notre Dame @home, VT @home and a bad FSU.
Posted by: His Royal Dudeness | January 19, 2018 at 01:21 AM
They say SoS all year long but at the end of the day, its best W/L records in the power 5 conferences, period.
