Miami-FL Hurricanes CFB Week 6 Betting Lines

When the Miami-FL Hurricanes hired Mario Cristobal as head coach, they were hiring a recruiting machine that was wired into the South Florida area. Now, in this third season, Cristobal has assembled the most talented team in the ACC. So far, Miami is undefeated, although in controversial fashion. This week, Miami plays what could be a dangerous trap road game against the California Golden Bears. The Golden Bears caught national attention with their win at Auburn earlier this season. The Hurricanes are coming off a disputed win over the Virginia Tech Hokies, which is the source of conspiracy theories.

Officials declared what would have been a winning, final-play touchdown by Virginia Tech an incomplete pass after a lengthy review of the final play. Miami escaped with a 38-34 win in the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both teams on Friday night.

The last snap came from the Miami 30 with 3 seconds remaining. Virginia Tech quarterback Kyron Drones dropped back 11 yards and lofted the ball toward the left corner of the end zone. Awaiting it were no fewer than seven players, and five wound up in the scrum for the ball.

Officials originally determined that Da’Quan Felton made the catch, and Virginia Tech stormed the field in celebration. After a long review, referee Jerry Magallanes - the same referee who worked in the Miami-Duke game in 2015 where he and other officials were suspended two games for “a series of errors” on the play where the Hurricanes used eight laterals to win as time expired - announced the call was overturned.

“That's a tough one right there. The way that game ended, I hope they got that call right,” Virginia Tech coach Brent Pry said. "To take that, to overturn it, take it from our kids, our coaches, our fans, I hope they got it right.”

In a statement, the ACC said the pass was ultimately ruled incomplete because a Miami player touched the ball while he was out of bounds.

Some fans believe the ACC gave Miami the game to protect its national championship prospects.

2024 Miami-FL Hurricanes Football Schedule

From 1983 through 2001, the Miami Hurricanes won five national championships. Additionally, they were a national finalist seven times in that span. Miami was never a historic blue-blood program. All of their success came then. And the Canes have become a prisoner of that success. Miami continues to cycle through coaches chasing that elusive era of glory.

The late great Howard Schnellenberger built the original Miami powerhouse. And then Jimmy Johnson took over and led the Canes to a higher level. Dennis Erickson maintained Miami’s championship dynasty. But the program began to erode after caretaker Larry Coker won the natty in his first year and made the national championship game in his second campaign.

Miami has a litany of past superstars, including eras not connected to the Glory Years. Jim Otto, Ted Hendricks, Jim Kelly, Michael Irvin, Cortez Kennedy, Warren Sapp, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Edgerrin James, Dwayne Johnson, Ed Reed, Vinny Testaverde, Russell Maryland, Gino Torretta, Arnold Tucker, Bennie Blades, Don Bosseler, Andy Gustafson, and Jack Harding are all legendary Canes.

Current head coach Mario Cristobal played for The U from 1989-1992. If anyone gets the Hurricanes and their unique program, it is Cristobal.
