College Game Day – University of Miami Hurricanes – Courtesy: Shutterstock – Image by RyanTaylor
This season, No. 4 Miami (3-0) appears to be a force to be reckoned with, and the national media is beginning to take notice of what is going on in South Florida.
ESPN College GameDay will now be held on campus in Coral Gables for the first time since 2017.
GameDay was in town in 2017 when the Hurricanes thrashed Notre Dame, and when the Florida Gators (1-2) visit, there will be another thrilling crowd.
Both the coaching staff and the team are thrilled about this opportunity.
“It is a tremendous opportunity for the program to be showcased,” Mario Cristobal said on The Joe Rose Show on 560 WQAM. “Even more importantly, it is an opportunity for us to not be distracted and keep the main thing about understanding how everybody working together has granted us tremendous progress, and we are getting better and better, and now as we take on the most talented opponent that we have faced, we continue to elevate our processes and get better.”
