<p>It’s Rivalry Week and the ACC has a huge game between the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Miami Hurricanes</a></strong> and <strong>Pittsburgh</strong>. The result of the game could have big implications so let’s take a look on the different scenarios.</p>



<p>For Miami, <strong>they need to win and also need a plethora of different results and combinations to go to the championship game</strong>. For instance, they need to win and any of the following results:</p>



<ul><li>UCA loss and Duke loss</li><li>SMU loss, Duke loss and UVA loss and NCSU win</li><li>SMU loss, Duke loss, UVA loss, UNC win and SYR win</li><li>SMU loss, Duke loss, UCA loss, UNC win, BC win and finish higher than both GT and SMU in SportSource Analytics ranking</li><li>SMU loss, Duke loss, UVA win, NCSU win and SYR win</li><li>SMU loss, Duke loss, UVA win, NCSU win, BC win and finish higher than both GT and SMU in SportSource Analytics ranking</li><li>SMU loss, Duke win, UVA loss and NCSU win</li><li>SMU win, Duke win, UVA loss, NCSU win and finish higher than Duke in SportSource Analytics ranking</li></ul>



<h2>A loss is devastating for Miami (FL)</h2>



<p>A win gives Miami all those options to go to the championship. However, a loss is absolutely devastating for the program. To make it even harder for the Hurricanes, they face <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh</a>. <strong>The Panthers also need a win and either a UVA loss or an SMU loss to go to the championship game</strong>. Hence, Pittsburgh will play to win.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251129_BUS_535909_malachi-toney_e7129bd0.webp&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Malachi Toney #10 of the Miami Hurricanes" class="wp-image-535916"></figure><figcaption>Malachi Toney #10 of the Miami Hurricanes</figcaption></figure>



<p>Miami has an ACC record of 5-2 and an overall record of 9-2. Actually, the Hurricanes also have one of the best defenses in the nation as their 14.5 opponent points per game ranks seventh-best out of 136. <strong>If quarterback Carson Beck plays great, it’s very hard to beat Miami, but Beck is highly inconsistent</strong>.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/michigan-vs-ohio-state-head-to-head-record-who-holds-the-upper-hand-in-the-game"></div>


<h2>The Panthers have a worst record but are better in the ACC</h2>



<p>The beauty -or mess- about <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">College Football</a> is that both records matter. Whether it’s for the right to play in the conference championship game or to go to the CFB Playoff directly. Pittsburgh is 8-3 overall and that won’t cut it for the playoff. However, due to the Panthers’ 6-1 ACC record, <strong>they are still on the mix to win to go to the ACC championship</strong>. If they win the conference, a playoff run awaits.</p>



<p>It’s the reverse case for the Hurricanes. Miami has a better record, but given their two ACC losses, <strong>they are now in a world of trouble needing miracles to stay alive in the conference.</strong></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carson Beck</a></strong> and the <strong>Miami Hurricanes</strong> can’t get out of their own way. After yet another gut-wrenching defeat to an ACC opponent—this time the <strong>SMU Mustangs</strong>—the transfer quarterback delivered a straightforward comment for the <strong>college football</strong> program in Coral Gables.</p>



<p>It seemed Miami had the game in the bag during its visit to SMU in Dallas. However, a late field goal tied the game at 20 apiece and forced overtime, where the Hurricanes crumbled. Beck threw an interception in overtime, <strong>leaving the game on a silver platter for the Mustangs</strong> to win with a walk-off touchdown. That they did, and Miami now finds itself in a pit of uncertainty in the 2025 <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NCAA</a> </strong>season.</p>



<p>Beck is on the spotlight. The Georgia transfer joined <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Miami</a> with sky-high expectations fixed upon himself. Since arriving in Vice City, <strong>Beck has had a mixed bag of superb and subpar outings with the Hurricanes</strong>. Against SMU, Beck took too many risks, and it came back to bite the Canes. After the game, the quarterback sent a sincere message to his teammates.</p>



<p><em>“<strong>It’s really tough to lose like that</strong>,” </em>Beck admitted per<em> Miami Herald. “<strong>Just stay together</strong>. We can’t separate. We have to do what we’ve said that we are the entire year. That’s having a connection, that’s playing as a team and that’s staying in unity regardless of what happened. That’s all we can do.”</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251102_BUS_519768_carson-beck-1-1024x576_f0c6f2a9.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Carson Beck " class="wp-image-519866" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Carson Beck #11 of the Miami Hurricanes on November 01, 2025 in Dallas, Texas. </figcaption></figure>



<h2>Aftermath math</h2>



<p>After yet another loss within the ACC, <strong>Miami is now 6-2 in the NCAA but 2-2 against league opponents</strong>. As it stands, there are six programs above the Hurricanes in the ACC standings. Needless to say, the odds of making the Championship Game are looking slim and none for Miami.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/greatest-miami-hurricanes-players"></div>


<p><strong>Virginia (8-1, 5-0 conference) remains the lone undefeated team within the ACC</strong>. Right on its trail, are schools like Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh (both 5-1 ACC). Meanwhile, Louisville, Duke, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/smu" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SMU</a> are the last teams with one loss within league play in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">college football</a> season.</p>



<p>Miami can still aspire to a 6-2 record in the conference schedule, but it <strong>would need help from other teams</strong> to make the ACC Championship Game. The decisive matchup will be played at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.</p>



<h2>Down go the Canes</h2>



<p>As Miami played its first game outside of Florida this year, the Hurricanes disappointed fans across the country with their loss to the Mustangs. As a result, the <strong>margin for error is now even smaller for Beck and company</strong>. The AP Top 25 poll came out after Week 10, and Miami stumbled from the 10th spot to 18th. Needless to say, another loss within the conference would take the school in Coral Gables out of the Top 25 altogether.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Carson Beck</a></strong> and the <strong>Miami Hurricanes</strong> bounced back after their first loss of the 2025 <strong>NCAA </strong>season. With a dominant showing against the <strong>Stanford Cardinal</strong>, the Canes showed the rest of the league the ‘U is back’, despite a misstep in the ACC schedule last week.</p>



<p>It wasn’t always pretty, but <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Miami</a> got the job done over Stanford. Beck and the offense had a very quiet first half, but they hit their stride during the second half, and that was <strong>enough to blow Stanford out of the water</strong>. </p>



<p>Boasting a 6-1 record in the 2025 <strong>college football</strong> campaign, the Hurricanes have reason to believe they can give any program a run for their money. After the win at Hard Rock Stadium, <strong>true freshman sensation Malachi Toney</strong> made that clear with a bold statement.</p>



<p><em>“<strong>That right there was the standard</strong>. University of Miami football,” </em>Malachi Toney stated after the win, via<em> ESPN. “We had to bounce back from last week. Coming into the game we knew we <strong>had to come in and punch first</strong>, and not get punched in the mouth. That’s what Coach [Mario] Cristobal has been stressing all week: play the standard of football, get back on our grind, that’s what we came out and did.”</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251026_BUS_515806_malachi-toney-1024x576_8082d6c7.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-515939" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Malachi Toney before a game</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Confidence</h2>



<p>Only a 17-year-old, Toney is already establishing himself as one of the most electric wideouts in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">college football</a>. The true freshman out of Fort Lauderdale opted to stay home in South Florida and it’s paid off early in his career.</p>


        

        

        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/greatest-miami-hurricanes-players"></div>


<p>In addition to the speed and elusiveness he brings to the table for Beck’s passing game in Miami, the first-year wide receiver plays with the confidence of an experienced player in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NCAA</a>. Toney made that clear with a bold remark on his punt returns, which shifted momentum onto Miami’s side, setting the Canes up in Stanford’s field.</p>



<p><em>“All I’ve been telling the guys is give me a hold up in the gunners, and <strong>I’ll do the rest. And they did that</strong>,” </em>Toney boldly commented during his postgame interview after the 42-7 win.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20251026_BUS_515806_carson-beck-1024x576_1718ea5c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Carson Beck walking off the field" class="wp-image-488287" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Carson Beck at Hard Rock Stadium on September 6, 2025 in Miami Gardens, Florida. </figcaption></figure>



<h2>Next up</h2>



<p>While it was a big outing to regain confidence, Beck, Toney, and Miami know that beating <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stanford" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stanford</a> at home isn’t a reason to celebrate too much. The real work begins now, as the Hurricanes hit the road for a trip to Dallas. On November 1, Miami will go up against the <strong>SMU Mustangs</strong> (5–3, 3–1 in league play) in what’s set to be a crucial ACC showdown. </p>



<p>Moreover, it will truly test Beck and the Hurricanes, as the program in Coral Gables will play <strong>its first game outside the state of Florida</strong> in the 2025 NCAA season. Whether Beck and Miami can thrive beyond the Sunshine State will soon be put to the test.</p>

<p>Until yesterday’s game, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes">Miami Hurricanes</a></strong> had enjoyed a perfect season, remaining undefeated. However, a lackluster performance by <strong>Carson Beck</strong> on Saturday night at Hard Rock Stadium opened the door for a <strong>Louisville Cardinals</strong> victory — and sparked a wave of criticism directed at the quarterback.</p>



<p>Four interceptions throughout the game left fans at Hard Rock Stadium stunned, especially after witnessing strong performances from the former Georgia quarterback earlier in the season. Despite his undeniable talent, <strong>Beck had one of his worst outings</strong> — enough to allow the Cardinals to walk away with the win.</p>



<p><strong><em>“I speak for all Miami fans when I say we should bench Carson Beck,”</em></strong> a Hurricanes fan stated on X, formerly Twitter. Fans slowly began to make their voices heard on social media.</p>



<p>Another fan went even further, bringing up comparisons between Beck and Jeremiah Smith. <em>“I want to know what these college football ‘experts’ are smoking to what makes them think Carson Beck is a more outstanding football player than Jeremiah Smith.”</em></p>

<h2>A night to forget</h2>



<p>In a stunning upset, No. 2 Miami’s perfect season was derailed last night, and the blame falls squarely on quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck">Carson Beck</a>. The Heisman frontrunner delivered an uncharacteristic and disastrous performance against the Louisville Cardinals’ defense, throwing a career-high four interceptions. </p>



<p><strong>The last of his errant passes—a game-sealing pick late in the fourth quarter—cemented the 24-21 loss</strong>, instantly cooling the hype around the star QB and raising serious questions about the Hurricanes’ National Championship aspirations.</p>

<h2>Building Blocks of NFL Prestige</h2>



<p><strong>From storied programs</strong> like Miami and Alabama to surprising gems like California, these colleges illuminate the blueprint for NFL success. Aspiring NFL players can look to these institutions not just for their robust athletic programs, but also for the opportunity to carve out their legacies among the football greats.</p>



<p>Schools like LSU, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/usc">USC</a>, and Ohio State round out the top ranks, consistently serving as training grounds for the next wave of NFL stars. <strong>They blend high volumes of entrants with successful outcomes</strong>, further cementing their status as juggernauts in college football lore.</p>



<p><strong>Some surprises exist in the ranking</strong>, such as West Alabama. Often overlooked, West Alabama’s Tyreek Hill heavily influenced their placement. This shows that <strong>even a small program can contribute</strong> to the NFL.</p>



<p>Whether it’s the gridiron glory or the prospect of walking in the footsteps of former NFL legends, these top colleges continue to be at the heart of America’s football spirit.</p>



<h2>Methodology</h2>



<p>To answer the classic sports question, “Which colleges produce the best NFL players?”, <em>Bolavip</em> used data from the 2000-2025 <em>Pro Football Reference (PFR)</em>.</p>



<p>Each player from each college was evaluated based on career, number of First-Team All-Pro selections, number of Pro Bowl selections (All-Star recognition), games played (career longevity), and draft round and pick number. This gave 1,000s of players to be evaluated.</p>



<p><strong>From there, each player received a PlayerScore</strong> to measure player’s NFL career success:</p>



<p>From there, <strong>data was aggregated by the college to produce the CollegeScore</strong>. For each college, how many players were sent to the NFL and average success of those players was calculated. <strong>A logarithmic function was used in the calculation of the CollegeScore to balance the impact</strong> between colleges that produce one or a few standout players and those that consistently produce a larger number of good players. This ensures both pipeline size and average quality matter.</p>

<p>All eyes are fixed on Coral Gables ahead of <strong>college football’s</strong> Week 4. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck">Carson Beck</a></strong>, <strong>Mario Cristobal</strong>, and the <strong>Miami Hurricanes</strong> will host the struggling<strong> Florida Gators</strong> in a marquee matchup highly-anticipated across the nation.</p>



<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes">Miami</a> got off to a very promising start to the 2025 <strong>NCAA </strong>season. With Beck under center, the Hurricanes look like bona fide contenders to the National Championship. However, the real fun is only set to begin for Cristobal and company. </p>



<p>Week 4 will see the <strong>visiting <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/florida-gators">Gators</a> walk into Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens</strong> for a new edition of the heated rivalry between the two Florida-based programs. However, the year couldn’t have produced more different scenarios for the two schools.</p>



<h2>Two sides to the coin</h2>



<p>While the Gators are in the midst of an identity crisis, Cristobal’s Canes are playing some of their best football in a long time. However, it’s time to prove it for Beck and company against <strong>an SEC opponent that is never a walk in the park</strong>. Fortunately, Miami might have a key player making his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> season debut on Saturday night.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250915_BUS_492521_joshisa-trader-1024x576_15fc7765.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-492541" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Joshisa Trader #0 of the Miami Hurricanes stiff arms Myles Purchase #5 of the Iowa State Cyclones.</figcaption></figure>



<p><em>“Miami HC Mario Cristobal shares that <strong>WR Joshisa “JoJo” Trader is available for the Florida game</strong> on Saturday,” </em>Geo Milian reported on his X account<em>. “He just ‘barely missed the cut’ when Cristobal elaborated further on Trader not playing against USF.”</em></p>

<h2>Glimpses of hope</h2>



<p>Beck and the Hurricanes offense have been firing on all cylinders so far in the college football campaign. However, there’s <strong>no such thing as too many options when it comes to distributing the pigskin</strong> across the gridiron. Therefore, Trader’s potential return to the lineup could spell great news for the transfer quarterback and company.</p>



<p>Trader was a true freshman in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> campaign. Still, he managed to see the field on sporadic occasions for Cristobal’s offense. Regardless, he has yet to play for Miami with Beck commanding the huddle. Trader appeared in 4 games last season, <strong>recording 6 receptions for 91 yards, and a touchdown</strong>.</p>

Cristobal hints Beck could debut Hurricanes weapon against Gators

<p>Just when everything was heading <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck">Carson Beck</a></strong> and <strong>Mario Cristobal’s</strong> way, challenges presented themselves to the No. 5 <strong>Miami Hurricanes</strong>. Off-the-field concers have risen, threatening to spin the Canes’ 2025 <strong>NCAA </strong>season out of control.</p>



<p>Fans and students in Coral Gables couldn’t have asked for a much better start to the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a></strong> campaign. With consecutive wins at home to kickoff the schedule, <strong>Miami looks as a heavy favorite to take home the ACC title</strong>. However, now Beck, Cristobal, and everybody in Miami’s dream might be facing crucial hours.</p>



<p>In quick succession, two discouraging news hit the University of Miami’s football program. Now, it’s up to Cristobal and his staff to rally the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes">Canes</a>‘ troops and get ready for a pivotal <strong>showdown with the No. 18 USF Bulls on Saturday</strong>.</p>



<h2>Absentees</h2>



<p>As the players learned on Monday, the team will be without two key players for the remainder of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> season. For different reasons, though. On the one hand, the Canes will be without true freshman <strong>Hayden Lowe</strong>, who is <strong>out for the year with an undisclosed injury</strong>. Lowe was expected to earn more minutes deeper into the campaign, the defensive end was the highest-rated recruit in Miami’s 2025 class.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250908_BUS_488283_mario-cristobal-1024x576_77905090.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-488357" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Mario Cristobal looks on during a Miami Hurricanes game</figcaption></figure>



<p>On the other hand, safety <strong>Markeith Williams</strong> turned heads all around campus as he decided to <strong>enter college football’s transfer portal</strong>. Williams began his career in 2022 and had since appeared in 25 games for the Hurricanes.</p>


        

        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/while-carson-beck-shines-in-miami-kirby-smart-drops-blunt-confession-on-gunner-stockton-after-lackluster-georgia-win"></div>

        


<h2>Disappointed</h2>



<p>Williams had registered 31 tackles, one tackle for loss and two pass breakups throughout his past seasons in Coral Gables. While far from mind-blowing numbers, the defensive back <strong>hoped to have a breakout year in 2025</strong>. His comments prior to the season reflected just that.</p>



<p><em>“Feeling great. <strong>Feeling like Year One all over again</strong>,” </em>Williams had admitted to<em> CanesInSight. “I’m learning a new defense. <strong>It feels great to be in here</strong> and actually be a leader to the young guys and show them multiple ways how to go along throughout college.”</em></p>

<p>Despite his high spirits coming into the 2025 campaign, the lack of snaps ultimately led him to step away from the program. Now, Williams is set to embark on a new challenge in college football—<strong>one away from Vice City and the Hurricanes.</strong></p>

<p>Records are subjective in the <strong>NCAA</strong>. Though both the <strong>Georgia Bulldogs</strong> and <strong>Miami Hurricanes</strong> boast 2-0 starts to the season, the two programs look very different. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kirby-smart">Kirby Smart</a></strong> and <strong>Gunner Stockton</strong> have yet to get in stride, while <strong>Carson Beck</strong> has hit the ground running in Coral Gables.</p>



<p>The Dawgs defeated the Austin Peay Governors—as expected. Still, a 28-6 scoreboard isn’t enough for Smart and Georgia’s aspirations. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck">Beck</a> and the Hurricanes also faced an inferior opponent in Week 2, <strong>but the Canes left no doubts on the table.</strong></p>



<p>Fans in Athens can’t help but look back at the former quarterback who is now thriving in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes">Miami</a>. <strong>Beck is among the Heisman favorites</strong>, and though it’s too early for the award to be decided, the QB situation in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/georgia-bulldogs">Georgia</a> is starkly different. Stockton has yet to establish himself, and Smart didn’t mince words about it.</p>



<p><em><strong>“I actually need to see what he does in practice in the game</strong>,” </em>Kirby Smart admitted postgame, per<em> On3. “That’s the biggest thing because we take a lot of periods. We took a lot of periods last week to do throwing periods with rush and pressure-pass periods. He’s just got to continue to grow, get better at that, and get comfortable with it.”</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250907_BUS_487313_gunner-stockton-1024x576_f073eff1.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Gunner Stockton leaves the field" class="wp-image-487335" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Gunner Stockton at Sanford Stadium on September 6, 2025.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>It’s in the details</h2>



<p>Stockton finished the evening with a completion percentage of 76.47%, <strong>passing for 227 yards and no touchdowns.</strong> It was a deflating outing for the Dawgs’ offense overall. And once again, the new signal-caller on campus has left a sour taste in everybody’s mouth.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/highest-paid-college-football-head-coaches"></div>


<p><em>“They did a good job of stopping us a little bit, and we just need to be a little better in the passing game,” </em>Gunner Stockton told reporters<em>. “<strong>It’s just about being better</strong>… When you’re on the one-yard line and you get that many chances and you don’t score, that wasn’t what we wanted, but you learn from it and get better.”</em></p>



<p>The weather conditions and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football/why-was-georgia-vs-austin-peay-suspended-today-september-6">the long suspension due to lightning</a> in the area</strong> definitely didn’t help Georgia find its footing. Regardless, those claims hold no merit in court when the Dawgs faced an <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> Division II opponent. Smart expects better, and so do Stockton and company. </p>



<h2>And so the fun begins</h2>



<p>Up next, the Dawgs will face their first SEC challenge when they travel to Knoxville to take on the <strong>Tennessee Volunteers</strong>. It will be the first true test to Smart’s program in the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> season.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="68bdbae47193bec65e18d820" data-title="Will the Dawgs make the College Football Playoffs?" data-options="2"></div>


<p> Both programs will enter Neyland Stadium next week with a 2-0 record, <strong>but only one will walk out unscathed</strong>. If the recent showings are any hint, Georgia must turn the tide immediately to survive a tough visit in a hostile environment.</p>

<p><strong>Malachi Toney</strong> did everything right in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes">Miami Hurricanes</a>‘ 27-24 season-opening win against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. It was a close game, but the young wide receiver not only played well but also earned <strong>a short message from Michael Irvin</strong>, who was in attendance.</p>



<p>Given Irvin’s well-known connection to the Hurricanes, everyone was eager to know what they talked about. Toney revealed that the 3x Super Bowl winner’s words to him were, <em>“<strong>keep going. </strong>Keep your foot on the net. Don’t let up.”</em></p>



<p>To give that message to Toney, Irvin surely had to have watched the entire game and was impressed with the rookie’s <strong>6 receptions for 82 yards </strong>and his magnificent 28-yard rushing touchdown that was a huge help for the Hurricanes.</p>



<h2>Cristobal Also Had a Message for Toney</h2>



<p>Irvin wasn’t the only one to give Toney a message after his first college game with the Canes. Head coach Mario Cristobal also had something to say, calling him a <strong><em>“special”</em></strong> player who was always in the plans for important passes during the game.</p>



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Miami True Freshman WR Malachi Toney catches his 1st Career TD as a Cane<br><br>Big contributor already, and crazy enough, he’s still supposed to be in high school (reclassed last fall)<br><br>Learn the name 🙌<a href="https://t.co/BmxfkTwxlS">pic.twitter.com/BmxfkTwxlS</a></p>— Hayes Fawcett (@Hayesfawcett3) <a href="https://twitter.com/Hayesfawcett3/status/1962312545642901934?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 1, 2025</a></blockquote></div>

<h2>Toney’s Next Game</h2>



<p>Toney will have another big opportunity to keep shining<strong> next week against Bethune–Cookman</strong>. It should be an even easier game for the Hurricanes and a chance for Toney to gain more confidence, perhaps by scoring his second touchdown with the program.</p>

<p>The <strong>College Football</strong> season couldn’t have started any better for the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes">Miami Hurricanes</a></strong>, following a narrow but well-earned home victory over the <strong>Notre Dame Fighting Irish</strong>. <strong>CJ Daniels</strong> delivered one of the plays of the week — and possibly of the season — scoring an incredible touchdown for <strong>Mario Cristobal</strong>’s team.</p>


        


<p>With only a handful of seconds left in the second quarter, <strong>one of the most experienced wide receivers in the league hauled in a powerful pass from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck">Carson Beck</a> with just one hand</strong>, giving his team the lead going into halftime against the Irish.</p>



<p>The spectacular play caught the attention of both fans and outsiders alike — even Carson Beck himself, who, after the victory was sealed, expressed his amazement at the incredible catch made by his offensive teammate.</p>



<p><em>“I was on my back and then I saw him in the end zone so <strong>I had no idea he caught it like that</strong>,”</em> the QB said. <em>“I’m over there turned up because I threw a touchdown or whatever and I’m getting hype and then I saw it on the big screen and I was like, ‘oh my gosh, there is no way he just caught that.’ But he always tells me, ‘man, put it up there, I’ll go get it.’ He proved that tonight.”</em></p>

<h2>Daniels’ warning revealed by Cristobal</h2>



<p>The incredible play executed by CJ Daniels — making a one-handed catch between two Irish defenders and reaching the opposing end zone — left everyone in awe. After the game, <strong>Mario Cristobal revealed the warning his wide receiver had issued</strong> about what’s coming next.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/carson-beck-makes-important-revelation-following-huge-hurricanes-victory-over-notre-dame"></div>

<h2>The HC’s wish came true this season</h2>



<p>CJ Daniels is one of the most experienced players at his position in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">NCAAF</a>, and for a long time, <strong>he had been a top target for Mario Cristobal</strong>. In fact, the head coach himself admitted it after the Hurricanes’ victory.</p>



<p><em>“<strong>I’ve been chasing CJ for two years</strong>,”</em> he said<em>. “<strong>Every time he’s in the portal I’m missing him. We finally got him and what a play he made. Unbelievable</strong>. Since the day he got here–and his foot was banged up and it was a while before he got on the field–he was an exceptional leader in that room. That guy took over the room and he established regiment and culture. </em></p>


        


<p><em>“He had those guys in there in the early hours watching the film, had those guys taking care of their bodies, teaching those guys how to track the ball and how to play the game at a higher level, which is related to the opposite side coverages, what do they need, where are the leverages, where are the soft spots. CJ Daniels is an absolute pro.”</em></p>

<p><strong>Carson Beck</strong> was one of the main protagonists in the last <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">College Football</a></strong> offseason, after having completed his transfer to the <strong>Miami Hurricanes</strong> from the <strong>Georgia Bulldogs</strong>. The criticism over this move, combined with a significant elbow injury, led to a major sense of relief for the QB, who was able to make his debut with a victory against the <strong>Notre Dame Fighting Irish</strong>.</p>


        


<p>It was by no means an easy season opener for Mario Cristobal’s team, having to face one of last season’s finalists. Despite that, and thanks to a strong performance from its new signal-caller, it managed to pull through and seal the game with a narrow 27–24 victory.</p>



<p>Once the game was over, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck">Beck</a> was the one who spoke to the media and, right there on the field with emotions still running high, broke the silence about what it meant for him to be back on the field — <strong>making an important revelation in the process.</strong></p>



<p><em>“Oh man, (expletive),” </em>the QB said with tears. <em>“<strong>The past eight months has been so hard</strong>. I’m just so blessed to be out here to have an opportunity to play again. I love these guys. I’m so proud of the way we played. We played so hard. In the face of adversity, we got it done when we needed to. <strong>I’m just so blessed and so thankful to have ths opportunity to play the game I love.</strong>”</em></p>

Carson Beck makes important revelation following huge Hurricanes victory over Notre Dame

Carson Beck makes important revelation following huge Hurricanes victory over Notre Dame - Bolavip US

<p>College football is finally back. What better way to start the 2025 <strong>NCAA</strong> season than a rivalry game between the <strong>Miami Hurricanes</strong> and <strong>Notre Dame Fighting Irish</strong>? In what’s set to be an electric showdown to kickstart his career in Coral Gables, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck">Carson Beck</a></strong> will make his debut under the close look of <strong>four NFL general managers.</strong></p>



<p>The eyes are upon Beck, who is set to play his final NCAA campaign before declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft. On that note, several franchises want to see him closely in his first presentation with the University of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes">Miami</a>. Of course, <strong>there’s enough talent beyond Beck to make the trip to South Florida worthwhile</strong> for the four GMs in attendance.</p>



<p>As reported by <em>Sports Illustrated</em>‘ Bryan Fischer, there are four NFL general managers in attendance at Hard Rock Stadium: Ryan Poles (<strong>Chicago Bears</strong>), Brian Gutekunst (<strong>Green Bay Packers</strong>), Brandon Beane (<strong>Buffalo Bills</strong>), and Joe Schoen (<strong>New York Giants</strong>).</p>



<p>With Caleb Williams, Jordan Love, Josh Allen, and Jaxson Dart already leading <strong>—</strong>or expected to lead <strong>—</strong> those franchises, there’s reason to believe <strong>Beck might not be the primary focus</strong> for the GMs in Miami Gardens.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250901_BUS_482945_cj-carr-3-1024x576_8f465e32.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="CJ Carr warming up" class="wp-image-482968" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>CJ Carr at Hard Rock Stadium on August 31, 2025 in Miami Gardens, Florida. </figcaption></figure>



<h2>What to expect</h2>



<p>The opening-week showdown between the Canes and Irish is packed with storylines, but perhaps none bigger than the quarterback battle. Beck enters the night with 27 career starts in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a>, <strong>while Carr makes his first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> start</strong>. A hostile environment and high-stakes stage like this can make or break the young signal-caller.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/highest-paid-college-football-head-coaches"></div>

        


<p>On that note, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/notre-dame">Notre Dame</a> head coach Marcus Freeman was honest on the gameplan for the debuting Irish quarterback. <em>“<strong>We’ve got to take the pressure off of him</strong>,” </em>Freeman said in dialogue with<em> ESPN </em>prior to kickoff.<em> “Got to establish the run game, or give him easy-access throws, and play really good defense. Just go be you, you don’t have to win the game for us, just do your job.”</em></p>



<h2>Similar tone</h2>



<p>While Miami’s Mario Cristobal boasts a starkly different situation under center, his message to Beck before his debut in Miami Gardens was quite similar. <em>“I want to see him be him. <strong>The best version of him</strong>,” </em>Cristobal told<em> ESPN’s </em>Molly McGrath<em>. “He’s done a great job in camp, got to show it tonight.”</em></p>

4 NFL GMs spotted in attendance for Beck's Miami debut vs Notre Dame: Which teams are present?

<p>With the 2025 <strong>NCAA</strong> season opener right around the corner, <strong>Mario Cristobal</strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes">Miami Hurricanes</a></strong> took many by surprise with a bold decision. As reported, the Canes offered a scholarship to the son of an <strong>NFL Hall of Famer</strong> who attended the school.</p>



<p><strong>Devin Hester</strong> will forever be considered one of the best talents to come out of the University of Miami. A cornerback during his time with the Hurricanes, Hester stole the spotlight in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> thanks to his second-to-none dynamism.</p>



<p>Hester became a return specialist in the league and was <strong>inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2024</strong>. Now, Miami is hoping the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree, offering Devin’s son, <strong>Drayton Hester</strong>, a full Division I scholarship.</p>



<p><em>“<strong>Miami extended the first D1 offer for Class of 2031 Drayton Hester</strong> this past week, who stars for the Anytime Jags (Orlando, FL). He is the son of former Miami Hurricane and Hall of Famer Devin Hester</em>,” per <em>Geo Milian</em> on X. <em>“Drayton took home the 11U Heisman last season.”</em></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250825_BUS_478551_devin-hester-1-1024x576_d61a28f2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-478615" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/24202009/devin-hester-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/24202009/devin-hester-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/24202009/devin-hester-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/24202009/devin-hester-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/24202009/devin-hester-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Devin Hester during the 2024 Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>One of its kind</h2>



<p>It’s not uncommon for the sons of former players to receive scholarship offers early in their careers. However, Cristobal and Miami have definitely gone a step further, <strong>as their latest recruit is only 12 years old</strong>. Drayton Hester is currently in seventh grade and won’t enter college until 2031. </p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/greatest-miami-hurricanes-players"></div>


<p>Consequently, the Hurricanes’ decision has sparked polarized opinions all over social media. While many see it as a statement about Hester’s talent, others consider it unfair and even unethical on Miami’s part.</p>



<h2>Orange out</h2>



<p>While the scholarship offer to Hester made noise in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ncaa">NCAA</a> landscape, the Hurricanes remain focused on what truly matters. Needless to say, <strong>it’s not the recruitment of a pre-teenager. </strong></p>

<p>On August 31, <strong>the Hurricanes will host the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Hard Rock Stadium</strong>. It will be a heated rivalry matchup between two programs who hold a grudge for one another. The fans in Miami Gardens will be treated to the <strong>first showdown between Notre Dame and Miami since 2017</strong>. The last time these two programs met, the Canes walked out victorious at home defeating the Irish by a lopsided score of 41-8.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="68abad4c9901c3ce28a46f7f" data-title="What do you think of Miami&apos;s offer to Drayton Hester?" data-options="2"></div>


<p>Miami will be holding an orange-out, calling on all fans to wear that color to the game. Whether that will help Mario Cristobal, Carson Beck, and company <strong>hold off last season’s runner-ups remains to be seen</strong>. The stage is set. It might not have the hype of 1988’s matchup between the “Catholics and Convicts,” but it’s shaping up to be a marquee game to kick off the 2025 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> season.</p>

<p>A new college football season is approaching, and one of the most significant moves of the offseason involved <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck">Carson Beck</a></strong>, who made headlines by transferring from the <strong>Georgia Bulldogs</strong> to the <strong>Miami Hurricanes</strong>. After playing last season under <strong>Kirby Smart</strong>, the QB now finds himself under the leadership of <strong>Mario Cristobal</strong> — two coaches with extensive experience at the collegiate level.</p>



<p>Both Cristobal and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kirby-smart">Smart</a> spent time together in Tuscaloosa, serving in different roles on the Alabama Crimson Tide coaching staff. It’s a notable detail,<strong> as they share a common blueprint when it comes to leading a team.</strong></p>



<p>This is something Carson Beck clearly noticed once he began his transition to Miami — a program aiming to establish itself as a serious contender for the National Championship Game starting in Week 1.</p>



<p><em>“I think, I mean obviously coach Cristobal was at Alabama with coach (Nick) Saban, as was coach Smart,”</em> the QB said via <em>On3.com. “A lot of those guys that are in that tree, they run their practices the same exact way.<strong> It’s the same intensity. It’s the same practice script.</strong>”</em></p>

<p><em>“I remember last night I’m going over the script of what we’re going to do throughout the practice, the plays, the different periods,”</em> Beck also added about similarities between both programs. <em>“<strong>It was literally like copy and paste</strong>, you know what I’m saying? So I’m sure there’s a lot of schools around the country that their fall camp all looks the same.”</em></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/college-football/hurricanes-hc-mario-cristobal-provides-major-injury-update-on-carson-beck-ahead-of-the-2025-ncaaf-season"></div>


<h2>Carson Beck’s early steps in Miami</h2>



<p>Last season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">NCAAF</a> didn’t end on the best note for Beck with the Bulldogs, as an unfortunate elbow injury during a crucial game against Texas brought his campaign to an early close.</p>



<p>After undergoing surgery and making the important decision to join the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-hurricanes">Hurricanes</a> during the last Transfer Portal window, the quarterback has already shown flashes of his talent during practices in Miami — something he says is feeling just right.</p>



<p><em>“You have all your indy stuff and your half-line, your 7-on-7 run, all that stuff. Then you get into your team period in the later half,”</em> Beck said. <em>“<strong>It was great work. You’re down here in the Miami sun.</strong> It gets hot out there, but I think we were working. I think we had a really good practice.”</em></p>
