Sept. 6 vs. Bethune-Cookman (7 p.m., ACCNX): This should be a game where the Hurricanes pick their score and get their backups in during the second half for some valuable live reps. Miami 45, Bethune-Cookman 7

After spending the last five seasons in Athens, Georgia, star quarterback Carson Beck is set to make his Miami Hurricanes debut in just a few weeks when they open the year against the No. 6 ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a highly anticipated top-10 Week 1 showdown.

Hurricane Erin grew larger and more powerful Monday, lashing parts of the Caribbean and expected to drive hazardous surf and rip currents along the US East Coast later this week. The storm regained Category 4 strength with top sustained winds near 130 mph (215 kph) as it moved closer to the southeastern Bahamas,

Where exactly do things stand through two-and-a-half weeks of practices and two weeks ahead of the Miami Hurricanes’ season opener?

There are a lot of things to do in South Florida, but few are still better than a top 10 early-season college football game.

Erin has strengthened into a hurricane as it approaches Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, bringing heavy rains that could cause flooding and landslides.

Beck was dominant in his first season as a starter in 2023. He completed 72.4 percent of his passes for 3,941 yards and 24 touchdowns with just six interceptions as UGA went 13-1, with its only defeat being in the SEC Championship Game to Alabama.
