The Miami Hurricanes gear up for their 2025 football season opener against Notre Dame after a 10-3 record last year, marred by late-season losses that dashed hopes for an ACC title and a playoff berth. Their season concluded with an unfortunate setback in the Pop-Tarts Bowl against Iowa State.

This season, the Hurricanes focus on bolstering their defense, particularly the linebackers, following the departure of key player Francisco Mauigoa, a two-time All-ACC second team member with impressive stats, including 96 tackles and 11 tackles for loss.
