Analysis
The sharps made a major move on Miami, Florida in tonight's opener against Notre Dame, and I couldn't agree more, as the Hurricanes can win this game outright. Miami may have lost Cam Ward, but it still has an experienced quarterback in Georgia-transfer Carson Beck, who brings a solid track record to Coral Gables. Beck played four seasons at Georgia, where he threw for 7,912 yards and 58 touchdowns. His ability to lead the offense efficiently will help make the switch to his leadership seamless. Beck will be joined by a talented receiving corps and a capable running game to accent what he does. It's Miami's depth that will create mismatches against Notre Dame's defense. If there's a quarterback who will be looking over his shoulder, it's Notre Dame's first-time starter C.J. Carr, who I'm betting will struggle under pressure. Miami has new leadership with its defense, and with this one at home and the unit looking to make a statement, I see it capitalizing on mistakes while shifting the game's momentum.
