The fiercest the University of Miami looked on Sunday was more than an hour before the game began.

The No. 8 Hurricanes and No. 25 LSU Tigers rushed toward each other near midfield, the crowd began to roar and a couple minutes later the players were separated and peace prevailed.

Then came the LSU onslaught.

LSU — Vegas underdogs by 3 1/2 points — dominated Miami in every facet of the game, burning the Canes with a 33-17 opening-night victory in the AdvoCare Classic at AT&T Stadium.
