One area that will go a long way to deciding the game will be how Miami’s offense matches up with A&M in the trenches.

Miami’s offense ranks 20th in the country in third-down conversion rate at 47.2%, but is facing an A&M defense that ranks first in the nation in third-down defense, holding opponents to a 22.7% conversion rate. A lot of that has to do with A&M’s pass rush, led by SEC Defensive Player of the Year Cashius Howell, which is tied with Oklahoma for the most sacks in the country.

Meanwhile, Mario Cristobal’s team does a terrific job of protecting Carson Beck. PFF grades Miami as the No. 4 pass-blocking unit in the nation and the Miami offensive line has allowed the eighth-fewest sacks in FBS.

When Miami has the ball, the battle in the trenches between the Hurricanes’ offensive line and Aggies’ defensive line will be crucial.
