Miami (3-0) hosts Central Michigan (2-1) Saturday at 6:30 p.m. on CW. ESPN gives the Hurricanes a 99% win expectancy, while the preview lists Miami as a roughly 42-point favorite and predicts a 35-point victory.
The preview uses Central Michigan’s 24-10 win over Wyoming as its main film reference: quarterback Angel Flores averaged 5.8 yards per carry and scored twice, and the Chippewas converted all three fourth-down attempts. The writer identifies Flores’ running as a key concern and says Miami needs to improve its tackling.
The article’s SP+ figures rank Miami seventh overall in FBS and Central Michigan 117th. It lists Miami as averaging 39 points and allowing 13 per game, compared with CMU’s 15.5 points scored and 24 allowed. The preview also says Miami needs to improve its offensive-line play and involve receivers beyond Malachi Toney.
