Miami vs. StanfordMoneyline: Miami (94%) vs. Stanford (6%)Spread: Miami -24.5 (49%)Total: 47.5 (50%)Hurricanes rip through Palo Alto?<\/p>\n
How did Miami reload its top-5 offense and top-ranked defense in the ACC? By landing three top-35 transfer players and a top-15 overall transfer class. With Carson Beck off to the NFL, Darian Mensah transferred in from Duke. Mensah finished with the second-highest passing yards (3,973) and touchdown (34) totals last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mensah will throw to one of the country\u2019s best receiving groups in Malachi Toney and fellow Duke transfer Cooper Barkate. Both were 1,100+ yard receivers last season. The running back room remained the same, with Mark Fletcher, a top-20 back, leading the way. The offensive line replaced Francis Mauigoa with 5-Star tackle Jackson Cantwell.<\/p>\n
The defense might take a step back with names like Rueben Bain, Akheem Mesidor, and Keionte Scott all off to the NFL.<\/p>\n
Many around the country have higher expectations for this year’s Canes offense than last year’s. Miami went 6-2 in the ACC last season and won four of those games by 28+ points.<\/p>\n
Same Stanford<\/p>\n
As far as Stanford is concerned, we got a glimpse of it in Week 0 against Hawaii. Through three quarters, this team looked legit, holding on to a 23-7 lead before nearly blowing it, allowing Hawaii to score 20 unanswered points. Stanford ultimately won 37-27.<\/p>\n
Davis Warren leads Stanford at QB. He last started for Michigan in 2024, when he got benched after 1,199 yards, seven TDs, and nine INTs.<\/p>\n
Miami and Stanford kick off on Friday at 9 p.m. EST on ESPN.\u00a0<\/p>\n
