Eye on the U: Can the Hurricanes shake off Georgia Tech loss and keep playoff hopes alive?
The Miami Hurricanes’ margin for error is slim, if not non-existent, following their loss to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Nov. 9.
But hope is not lost.
Miami can still make it to the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game with wins in its final two games — Saturday against Wake Forest, Nov. 30 at Syracuse. A win in the conference title secures a spot in the 12-team College Football Playoff field.
But for all that to happen, the Hurricanes will have to shore up their weakness — namely on defense — that have been masked in some senses by the offense’s ability to put up video game numbers on a weekly basis.
Did UM take advantage of the bye week to properly correct those mistakes? Will they be able to do enough to stay in the playoff hunt? Will they feed on the pressure or succumb to it?
Miami Herald Hurricanes beat writer Jordan McPherson and deputy sports editor Andre C. Fernandez look at all of that and more in the latest episode of Eye on the U.
