The University of Miami released its 2019 football schedule Wednesday, highlighted by a season-opening matchup against Florida in Orlando, as well as six home games at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Hurricanes kick off their 2019 season against the Gators on Saturday, Aug. 31, in the 2019 Camping World Kickoff at Camping World Stadium. Manny Diaz's first game as head coach of the Hurricanes is also UM's first meeting with Florida since 2013, a 21-16 Miami win at then-Sun Life Stadium.
This is the first time the two teams have played at a neutral site in the regular season since Miami's 32-20 win at Tampa Stadium in 1984. The Hurricanes lead the overall series, 29-26, and have won seven of the past eight meetings.
Miami's home schedule includes non-conference games against Bethune-Cookman and Central Michigan, as well as games against ACC rivals Georgia Tech, Louisville, Virginia and Virginia Tech. The Hurricanes have posted a 16-3 regular season mark at Hard Rock Stadium over the past three seasons. Miami has five consecutive home games on its schedule for the first time since 1987. The Hurricanes open and close conference play with trips to Tobacco Road and play their first-ever game at Marlins Park against FIU. The Hurricanes also have two bye weeks, one on Sept. 28 and another on Nov. 16.
After its season opener against Florida, Miami hits the road for its ACC opener at North Carolina on Sept. 7. The Hurricanes defeated the Tar Heels, 47-10, last season at home to take the lead in the overall series, 11-10.
Miami returns home on Sept. 14 to face Bethune-Cookman, the first of five straight games at Hard Rock Stadium. The Hurricanes have won all four prior meetings with the Wildcats, the most recent a 41-13 victory to begin the 2017 season.
On Sept. 21, the Hurricanes host Central Michigan, marking the first-ever contest between the two programs. Miami is 7-0 all-time versus schools from the Mid-American Conference. Hurricanes offensive coordinator/quarterbacks Dan Enos was Central Michigan's head coach from 2010-14.
After its first bye week, Miami welcomes Virginia Tech to Hard Rock Stadium on Oct. 5, the earliest matchup between the two ACC Coastal Division rivals since 2009. The Hurricanes have won four of the past five meetings, including a 38-14 victory in Blacksburg last season. Miami then hosts Virginia on Friday night, Oct. 11. UM has won five of seven home games overall against the Cavaliers.
The Hurricanes square off against Georgia Tech to end their five-game home stand on Oct. 19. Miami lost to the Yellow Jackets last season in Atlanta, 27-21, after winning eight of the previous nine matchups.
The Hurricanes then hit the road for four of their last five contests. First up is a trip to Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pa., to face the Panthers on Oct. 26. Miami then treks to Tallahassee, Fla., on Nov. 2 for its annual date with Florida State. The Hurricanes have won the last two meetings between the in-state rivals and lead the overall series, 33-30.
Miami returns to Hard Rock Stadium on Nov. 9 for its home finale against Louisville. The Hurricanes last played the Cardinals in 2014 – Louisville's first season as a member of the ACC. The Cardinals last played in Miami in 2004, when the third-ranked Hurricanes defeated No. 18 Louisville, 41-38.
After a second bye week, the Hurricanes will travel just eight miles from campus for their penultimate road game of the season on Nov. 23, a date with FIU at Marlins Park -- current home of Major League Baseball's Miami Marlins and former site of the Miami Orange Bowl, where UM played its home games from 1937-2007. Marlins Park opened in 2012 and hosted the Miami Beach Bowl from 2014-16. This will mark the fourth meeting between Miami and FIU. The Hurricanes have won all three previous matchups, including a 31-17 victory at Hard Rock Stadium last season.
Miami wraps up the 2019 regular season at Duke on Nov. 30. The Hurricanes have lost just once in eight games at Wallace Wade Stadium.
What?

That schedule kind of sucks. Backloaded again with away games. It's nice though to have the boys up in my neck of the woods playing UNC early and Duke late. Hopefully I'll be at those 2.

Pete Carroll JJ and Switzer won SB and NCAA.....though I will say Switzer was just there....Aikman Emmitt and Playmaker coached JJs players....
Paul Brown a great great coach who added many things to the game...won Ohio States 1st NCAA NC....and 3 titles with Cleveland....thats cool.....and Bear Bryant won in the 60s and 70s......and never ever forget Vincent Thomas Lombardi....
It is true though....there is limited space in the great coaches lounge....

I love it. It certainly beats the first down chain made of stale pasta and ionion rings that we were lamenting about four weeks ago.

It looks like we have six more scholarships left to give out. Who will be the final six recruits?

Seriously, Manny is making moves like a vet.
Isn’t making a bunch of bonehead, egotistical moves.
Not trying to call plays, accumulating talent by any means.
Let the oc pick his guys.
As long as game day doesn’t get too big for him, he could be THE GUY.
Recent history bodes well for him.
He adjusts well fixing issues in game and in the offseason. He also kept the defense playing well when they could have had an all out mutiny. It didn’t fall apart until he announced his departure.
With the way he is handling himself so far, I think his skills will carryover to the new job.
Some have said he could be the type who is a better head coach than coordinator. I am getting the vibe this may be the case.
Reminds me of Dabo. Just needs to have similar recruiting success.

I’d like to see a few W’s before breaking out the Chain. But he’s done a great job so far imo. There is excitement and positivity around the program and big-time coaches doing big-boy football work. I’m impressed and ready to jump onboard.

Netflix show Qb1 followed Martell for his senior season (along with Fromm and WF Qb).
Started watching a few episodes last night.
You’re going to love him or hate him.
Curious to see how much South Beach distracts him.

I’m most definitely on board - but I’m a little scared of the hated gayturds game - since we’ve had manny I can’t say we’ve stopped any physical running teams - whisky twice and LSU come to mind. Maybe between manny and the new dc, we will be able to

Stay young, Canespacers.
It's a bitch getting old.

Love what Manny is doing.
The Wr coach is s bit of a head scratcher.
Most Oh coaches have ties to Central Michigan.
Like the new additions with the transfers, especially with multiple years of eligibility.
Next big step for Manny, is seeing how he finishes up recruiting Feb. 6th.
Still need help at CB, DL, LB, TE, RB and QB.
We have talent, it's time to stock pile depth of talent.
Going to be tough flipping a few but The Herb believes we can get Bogle back and the DT from NY, Haute.
Emerson is 50/50.
That nomad Richards no clue.
Elam to me is between Flo. & The Dawgs.
Going to be a tough sale this late in the game to get a FR. QB. Plumlee or Legrande or however his last name is spelled.
Brothers is an Auburn lean but if we can get him to visit one more time, he can be had.
The UCLA transfer is visiting this weekend and that should get us his services.
That is the word from The Herb!

Here's video of our new QB. Insurance policy just in case Martell has to sit out.

How many of our QB's transfer?
Posted by: thirstybuzzardcane | January 18, 2019 at 12:27 PM
Watching that Tate highlight clip if you were his opponents would you eventually get that he throws every pass to his right?
Kid has wheels for sure!
Posted by: solarcane | January 18, 2019 at 12:31 PM
Good stuff thirsty!
Posted by: solarcane | January 18, 2019 at 12:39 PM
Martell played against some of the best competition out there! Excited to see the QB competition in the spring.
Might be tough for Williams and Perry to get down a new playbook. Seems they both never really grasped Richts system.

Coffeyville, Doolin Dalton, Eagles
one of my all timers
Posted by: solarcane | January 18, 2019 at 12:57 PM
Thirsty with some good coaching from Enos I think Tate is our guy too.
Plus it gives OC a chance to recruit the next guy and evaluate what he's getting

Georgia Tech pretty lucky
They get to open all of college football season, on a Thursday night,
on national television, with a new head coach, running an offense they have never run in a game,
against the defending National Champion at Death Valey
"This is why you come to Georgia Tech"
No it's not, you come to Georgia Tech because you want to be an astronaut.
Posted by: solarcane | January 18, 2019 at 01:36 PM
I remember the Canespace mugs. What year was that CGNC? Don't know why I never asked or got one. Me bad, very bad on that one.
I wonder if 86 etc. can design one, with a Canespace logo, and our "handle" on it. I like Sarasota Cane logo. Mine would be MLAlumni1970. Something like that. Or MLAlumniMascot

One of my favorite swag sports stories.
The great Hank Aaron comes up to bat.
Johnny Bench is a rookie catcher and future Hall of Famer.
Johnny notices Hank is about to swing his bat with the label facing the pitcher.
Johnny says to Aaron "Hank don't you think you should turn your bat's label up?"
Aaron looks down at Bench and says
"Kid I didn't come up here to read."
