    CURSE OR BLESSING: Miami Hurricanes Face High Expectations, Will Darian Mensah LEAD Them Higher?

    Miami Hurricanes eye a College Football Playoff breakthrough with Darian Mensah headlining a top-7 squad. Can Mario Cristobal’s crew turn high preseason rankings from a curse to a blessing? Host Alex Donno and special guest Jake Crain (Crain & Cone) spotlight Miami’s revitalized offense, the impact of Shannon Dawson’s play-calling, and how transfer additions like Damon Wilson could offset the loss of key pass rushers.

The conversation expands to national topics, including heated reactions to top-25 rankings, the implications of a 24-team College Football Playoff, and the evolving reputation of Coach Cristobal.
